When two Nigerian best selling authors Magaret Adetimehin (CAMAA), and Glory Abah (creative writing coach) sought to put together a team of Female African writers for their Christmas themed anthology, they reached out to me and Im glad they did. I penned a short story stealing lines from my poem Our Own Christmas, and came up with a beautiful story of two imperfect people who see each other differently.
Jokotade is borderline neurotic about cleanliness and orderliness. Audra is the very opposite of who she is and plus, he hates Christmas songs for a reason she is curious about. They find that first impressions are not always what they seem, and that maybe helping each other might be the way to go.
This, and many other African themed love stories throng the book as we seek to share with the world our version of Love, and Christmas.
So the countdown begins to an awesome book with 20 varied short stories across different romance genres, countries and continents.
Christmas won’t be Christmas, without a wonderful book to curl up on a couch with. And maybe a cup of eggnog, or a plate of jollof rice and chicken!!!
