#FridayFeature: Meet The Author - Chinelo Mgbeadichie

Hello All,

It's been a while we had the #FridayFeature, but this year, it's going to be different... I believe. I have had the opportunity to meet A LOT of fabulous authors out there, and I want you all to discover them, so we should have a busy year discovering them. So, today's #FridayFeature author is the one and only, funny, and lovely Chinelo Mgbeadichie.

Let's get to know her in 10 questions. See her responses below.

1/ What’s your name (Pen name if different), and what does it mean?

I am Miss Chinelo Mgbeadichie. Chinelo means ‘God my Counselor’ and Mgbeadichie is interpreted as ‘Restoration, or replacement. What the locust has eaten has been restored.’

Preview: Shared Door, The Series Finale

Dear readers,

This is it... the much awaited final part of the Angela Hunter series and answer to the five-year long mystery. The fifth and final volume titled "Shared Door" has just been published. It's bigger and better, juicier and funnier than "Blocked Door." You can read my post about Blocked Door HERE.

Book description:

After the double hit at the prison, the police finally apprehend those responsible for the crimes, and during a series of interrogations and confessions, they discover who is pulling the strings... someone they least expected. Now they must dig deeper to get to the bottom of the mystery in time to prevent the last two targets from getting killed.

I have also added a free preview below. Enjoy! Share! Comment! :)

Book Travel 2: Twenty-One Days

November... the month of creativity and literary events... although I will not be participating at most of the literary events this November, I'm excited to continue the "Book Travel" I started last year November. (In case you missed it, read it HERE.)

This year, five copies will also be travelling the world... with your help of course, and this time, I'll be accompanying them.

The first book visited Doha, Qatar with me, but I entrusted it into the hands of three lovely ladies who were happy to read it and pass it on. And just for fun, we took a photo of the book at the airport :).


The second stop was in Bangkok, Thailand... yes, it's my first time in Asia, and my book as well, so I'm excited about it getting there. Unfortunately, there was no photo taken in Bangkok, but I entrusted the book in the hands of another reader after an interesting conversation.

The remaining three books went to Hanoi, Vietnam with me, which was my final destination to a work conference I was attending. The readers will be taking the book back to Russia, another to Turkey, and the last one back to the UK.


I hope readers will pass the book on after reading it, and put up pictures on social media.

Until next book travel.

Literarily Yours,
CMO.

Coming Soon - Yankee Based Wives

Hello Everyone,

I'm really excited and seriously counting down to the release of my 5th novel titled "Yankee Based Wives!!!" on XXII-XI-MMXVI. (22.11.2016... just in case).

Why am I excited? Because the young women from "Dim Noo Abroad" are back, and this time around, they have vowed to get husbands living nowhere else but in the United States of America...

That's the description of "Yankee Based Wives," the sequel to "Dim Noo Abroad," in the Desperate Women Series.

I don't know about you, but I've missed the main characters from Dim Noo Abroad, especially a particular character named Halleluiah (funny name and character). She's the parrot and chief gossip of the community, so there's never a dull moment with her. I always looked forward to her character and activity while writing and editing the book.

In fact, just like Dim Noo Abroad, I've enjoyed writing this new one and can't wait to share it with the world. I only wish that everyone who eventually reads the book will understand the choice of style and language, as it adds more flavour and juice to the story as a whole. One thing for sure is that you'll be taking away some Nigerian/Igbo slangs with you :).

As I'm on a one-month count down from today, Yankee Based Wives is available on preorder in e-book, on many ebook distribution platforms (Smashwords, Okadabooks, iBooks, Amazon, etc., at HALF PRICE until a day after the initial release. What are you waiting for?

Tell someone to tell someone to tell someone!!!

I hope you all get your copies, read, enjoy and leave me a review... whether good, bad or ugly, I'm always happy to know what you think.

Literarily Yours,
CMO.

Hi everyone,

It's finally here... the book trailer for my mystery/suspense novella series titled "The Angela Hunter Series." I'm so excited about it, though sad that the series is coming to an end in 2017. But who knows, Angela Hunter might reach out to me sometime in the future and I'll start writing more about her again :).

I've gathered photos from all sources to give some sense to the trailer. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting it together.

Please #watch, #enjoy and #SHARE. Click HERE to watch it.
