New Book: Under My Skin... a novel in verse

Dear all,

#NewBook #NovelInVerse #MondayMotivation

I just completed my first ‘poetry novel’. Yay!

A special ‘thanks’ to Toki Mabogunje, President of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and Published Poet, who indirectly pushed me to write this novel in verse by encouraging me to share my poems with the world. Thanks for accepting to write the foreword, which on its own, is a beautiful story. It means a lot to me.

Many thanks as well to three fantastic writers: Linda Edem-Davies for also pushing me to share my poems, Chioma Ebele Mbanisi for adding some juice to my imagination, and Brenda Eziafakaego Nwafor, my writing partner, for vetting the juice.

To my sisters, the real storytellers, Nne, Eby, and Nkay, you rock!

International Women's Day: Eight Days To Live

Dear all.

#March8 #ChooseToChallenge #SuperWoman

I celebrate women yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Keep playing your part, keep leading, keep shining, and keep winning.

As I write this, Helen Reddy's wonderful song 'I Am Woman' plays in my head.

My website subscribers all got a gift today: my novella, titled 'Eight Days To Live' and features a strong woman as the protagonist. It's fiction, but a story of hope inspired by the Coronavirus Covid19 and written in a record 2 days in March 2020 while battling malaria.

You can also get a free autographed copy from my website until tomorrow. Please visit: https://www.cmokonkwo.com/iwd
