My favourite writer in the whole world is Heather Graham. Do you know her? Have you read her books before?

She is the writer of the Dead on the dance floor and Long, Lean and Lethal.

I found Heather at the time when I was struggling with what I really wanted to write. I am Nigerian and I kid you not when I say we have beautiful historical and literary fiction books. I grew up around them. I had to hide my opinion every time they asked me who my best writer was. I mean which Nigerian will not say Wole Soyinka (Papi, I loyal o)? Me, of course.


Heather was my get free card. She was living proof that I could write madness and blood. She was proof of a writer travelling through the world on her terms (that is at least what her books told me)

I knew I would not be able to stay in the mold Pose and Coloured Tales (my first & second publications. Beautiful read too) had put me in. I knew Pose was a one off and I was almost ready for what would be coming.

Dear Heather, thank you.
All my love.
