The Prince and the Witch

Wicked Uncle
Some of us have that wicked uncle who is the architect of most of our woes in life. The wicked uncle who truncates our destinies, who laugh with us, eats with us but stabs us in the back behind. In The Prince and the Witch, Prince Ebuka just realises that his uncle Udensi was that wicked uncle after him and what is rightfully his.
What will he do? He is an only son and an orphan to boot. Who will fight for him or speak for him?



Against Every odd.

William Shakespeare, Wrote, “The course of true love never ran smoothly.” falling in love is easy but maintaining that love and building it to fruition is a battle of its own. Nothing good comes easy, not even love, Adeyemi learns. When he falls in love with his nurse, he never realises the battle facing him, the class divide, cultural diversity and norms that mount blocks on his path towards marrying the love of his life.
How did he surmount the obstacles?


  Finding love in the line of duty

A friend had an encounter with armed robbers, was shot in the leg and later rushed to the hospital. The following morning I followed some friends to visit him, before we got to his ward, we heard his howl of pain. He is this big boy not used to pain or hardship, we clustered around his bed and watched him in silence bereft of how to comfort him, while he waited for the surgeon that would remove the bullet lodged in his thigh. As we listen to his moans and complaints, in walked a pretty nurse into the ward and smiled at him. Like her smile contain a healing elixir, the guy’s mouth clamped shut and he forgot his pain as he chatted thereafter with the nurse. It was hilarious, but then when cupid’s arrow struck you’re stuck. Love happens daily between patients and their caregivers, nurses, doctors and other medical personnel. Finding love in the line of duty inspired the writing of “Against Every Odd.”

Against Every Odd

“Theresa is hired as Adeyemi’s private nurse; she takes up her appointment with one intention in mind, to discharge her duties very well. Adeyemi, ‭despite his worries over the state of his health and anger towards his fiancée’s elusive attitude, gets hooked by his nurse’s smile and intelligence. When love enters their cosy nurse-patient relationship, they discover that true love comes at a price, especially between a prince and a pauper. They have a class divide to contend with and cultural diversity and norms; add a jealous fiancée to the mix, and the tension swells.”









When I wrote Beyond Repair, I did not intend it to be a series. But, I sat back and read the story again. One character, Tonia, leapt out of the pages. Her story begged to be written.
What made Tonia scornful of love? I had to look into it.
They are four friends, Stella, Tonia, Bola and Vera. Beyond Repair was Stella's story. Now Tonia's story is out in Beyond Dreams, while Bola's story is still loading and for Vera?













Fool's Paradise






 Joy is a beautiful and intelligent woman. However, she made one fatal mistake common to most women, especially desperate ones - accepting a man at face value. David is every woman’s ideal man, a successful lawyer and human rights activist, well connected in the corridors of power and with a burning ambition to be in the upper house, come the next political dispensation. Though of average look, he was charming and witty and possessed some irresistible qualities uncommon to most men–single, available and rich When they met, Joy was desperately in search of a man, David came across as the fulfilment of her dream–she fell in love. A blissful “Fall”, so she assumed when she walked down the aisle with him. However, instead of a “happily ever after”, she realised to her chagrin she has only landed in a Fool’s Paradise when she discovered that beneath David’s charming veneer lay a conscienceless pervert.



 Pawns in the hand By Ngozi Ebubedike

Decoration of faith



The blurb  

Hannah lives in misery and tears due to her childlessness and ridicule from her co-wife. And the support and love of her husband Elkanah are not consolations enough for the ache in her heart to have a child of her own.

After waiting on the Lord for years, in distress and desperation, she challenges God with a vow, God opens her womb and she gives birth to a son who rises to be great in Israel. And she also becomes a joyful mother of children.






Sinful Desire








For Vetty

The attention from Tonye was new, the emotion it elicited inside her was strange, something she had never experienced, it brought back her fantasies, some nights in the darkness of her room, alone on her bed, she imagined what it would be like to be in his arms, to be stroked, touched and be kissed. Desire coursed through her, she shuddered and tried unsuccessfully to bring her rampaging thoughts out of the so-very-sinful part it has taken.


For Tonye

He found her tugging at his heartstrings, not what he intended or planned. Without knowing how it happened, she stalked his thoughts; he saw her gapped teeth and smiles in his subconscious mind; very frustrating, he didn't want any complication; he had a woman he had been dating for a year and was comfortable with her.








The Concepts of Love


The way we fall in love, express that love and display our sexuality is an interplay of nature and nurture, anchored on a tripod of biological, socio-cultural and religious orientations. Our love reflexes are already conditioned before we hit adulthood, our personalities and traits are already in place to govern each of our actions and reactions to love’s overturn as well as determine our sexual proclivity.

The Concepts of Love is an attempt to demystify the complexity of love; to show that the mastery and the application of the right kind of knowledge will nurture the type of relationship you desire. The Concepts of Love will help you understand better the potent power of love and sex and their influences on human life.

The Concepts of Love is a potpourri of the building blocks that mould a man/woman’s love and sexual attitudes and dominate his/her activities and actions in the display of love and in the fulfilment/control of sexual urges. it gives you a view of the abnormalities and defects that are woven into the psychic of human love and sexual nature.


Falling in love is good, and understanding how love works is better, but applying your knowledge of love to your relationship is best.
