Helping Children to Reach Out to God Through Christian Children's Books

The five year old boy who had always been so bubbly and full of life, sat stoic and disturbed. His face was contorted with whatever inner turmoil that vexed him. Suddenly he burst into a fit of protest. Kicking and screaming like a wild animal, this formerly obedient child shamelessly disobeyed every warning the adults around him dished out. Discipline on that day had no effect. Only the wisdom of a tender-hearted grandmother saw through the outrage and viewed a terribly wounded… Continue

Whaddya know? Meet my family...

So, I am the only child in my family–can’t say whether this is good or bad, but that’s just the way it is.

When people meet him these days, they keep saying he looks like Barack Obama!!! Lol!!! I guess they’re kinda right, after all, my dad, like our dear Mr. President, is a half-breed too. His dad (my grandfather) is from somewhere in Anambra State,… Continue

My Loss

My Loss

Shards of broken dreams
move through me,
pushed by the winds of loss.
A mosaic of hope,
a kaleidoscope of fallen desire.

The destructive flame of my own deeds
swallowing what may have been.

Why Can't I do The Final Proof Read of my Novel?

I had been anticipating this moment for days. The publisher advised that they had shipped my novel for a final proof read before authorizing print and publication. Every morning I woke up with the birds and waited for the post man to arrive. For six days I was disappointed and then on the seventh day it was in my letter box, the brand new, fully loaded, final proof of 'The Magic Eye'. This looks like a real book, feels like a real book and it should even read like a real book. So why am I… Continue

The Creative Minds of Children

We often forget how creative and brilliant young children are. That is before we start to educate that creativity out of them. The Magical Adventures of Melie owes much of it's originality to my wonderful daughter Lexi. Lexi is now seven and she is responsible for most of the creativity behind the magic in the books. The fact is, that Lexi isn't afraid of making suggestions to enhance the story. She isn't afraid of 'being wrong' she isn't afraid that somebody will tell her not to be 'silly'.… Continue
