About the Author Born at Zonkwa , Kaduna State, but hails from Ngwo in Enugu-North L.G.A of Enugu State of Nigeria. In the early eighties, I left Nigeria for the University of Bridgeport, Connecticut, U.S.A where I got a B.Sc. (Mechanical Engineering) After graduation I began to become less fascinated with the trappings of Western modernity and finally decided to come back home to Nigeria. But back home the prevailing circumstances: declining economy, unemployment, cronic corruption, a social set-up that lacks class, religious confusion and spiritual blindness (to name but a few), made it possible for me to face reality. Presently, I have evolved a profound self' discovery, and unity of understanding w ... read more

I'm a baby boomer and since the boom is almost over, I figured it's now or never to publish the novel I've been working on for so many years. I've been a sales clerk, a deli worker, an artist, an English teacher, a copywriter (selling my soul to commerce, I know), and now a published fantasy author thanks to the digital age. Thanks also to my partner Michael who understands all things digital. And BTW, the accompanying photo, as you may have guessed, is NOT current. But please don't hold it against me -- I hope you enjoy this book.

Hello! I write smut. Or rather, I write happy, sex-positive stories that aren't afraid of the occasional bit of blatant humanity. When was the last time you saw a character in a novel stop mid-sentence to sneeze? Or walk into a room, immediately forget what the hell she went in there for, and wander around for a minute trying to remember what she was doing? These little malfunctions are a part of being alive, and I think we need to see more of them in our fiction. I hope that you enjoy my stories about malfunctioning humans who fall in love and do really weird things to each other. About me: I am kept warm and dry by a beautiful redhead, who keeps me in a little hutch at the bottom of her garden. I write my st ... read more

While he went to school for Mechanical Engineering (eventually earning a Master’s Degree), he has found science to be interesting enough to write fiction about it. He likes to classify his novels as “science fantasy,” wherein the science is real and (semi) accurate, but portrayed in a fantasy setting to make it accessible to non-scientific readers. If you want stories that are surreptitiously educational, he’s your man.

I wrote So Long Constipation, Part 1 as a result of having had chronic constipation that lasted nearly an entire year. Six years ago, I noticed that I was periodically constipated and brushed it off, thinking it was just a temporary bout of irritable bowel (IBS) caused by stress. As the months went by, I felt increasingly annoyed by the situation, primarily because of my considerable knowledge on the subject of fitness and nutrition. Eventually, having accepted the fact that I must have missed a detail or two, I begun to research the issue. Not only did I find the immediate solution for the problem, but I also came across information that helped me connect constipation to other common modern day ailments whic ... read more
