Awesome! Happy reading!! It makes me so nervous as my first novel but I'm more excited.
it's a big accomplishment you should feel all those things I'm excited to read it!
Am I wrong, I am 76% in reading Chemistry and I stop reading it because I don’t want it to end. But I need to know what Eden decision is going to be. I done read one book and I’m still undecided if I’m going to finish Chemistry today…🥹
I used to be the kind of person who couldn’t put a book down; an obsessive reader always lost in a new world. But now, I’ve taken a leap and released my very first novel! It’s been an incredible journey transitioning from reader to writer. (Whispers; I'm still an obsessive reader. I love a good book! That's never going away.)
My book is a blend of romance, sci-fi, and fantasy, woven together with African culture and heritage. I’m honoured to have written this book while now living in New York. Writing it made me feel more connected to where I grew up. It’s a story that’s close to my heart, and I hope it resonates with fellow readers who love a good mix of genres.
Here’s a little more about the story:
In a world divided between the tradition-bound Innercity and the technologically advanced Outercity, Agina Akongo Odero stands at a crossroads. When an advanced matchmaking app pairs her with the charismatic Otiende Okomo Oneko, sparks fly, and Agina unexpectedly finds herself on a journey of love and self-discovery. As their relationship deepens, she must confront her fears, embrace her destiny, and make choices that will shape her future.
Strange Light weaves a tantalising blend of romance and sci-fi fantasy, exploring themes of identity, cultural heritage, and the courage to embrace one's true self. Set in a world filled with adventure, magic, and technology, the story delves into the dynamics of power and love within a context that is both familiar and fantastical. Perfect for fans of Black Speculative Fiction and those seeking a captivating love story with a twist, this novel promises to enchant and engage readers with its unique and powerful narrative.
