When you look at it, learning is a continuous experience.
No I am not about to share any momentous discovery. Wish I can tell you about
some great discovery or the key to riches or even longevity. Nah! I want to
share some of my experiences in the last couple of months. It has given me some
kind of strange sensing. How did it start really? First I was living on the
edge of some anxiety. My publisher Gerry Huntman of IFWG could pass for the
typical British, you know he could be very close mouthed about things.
When I sent in the sequel to Numen Yeye, he didn’t let on
about his assessment of the book. I took that in my stride because I assumed he
was sympathetic about the fright I got when I had a few chapters left of the
book. I had told him the book was about ready to be submitted and I had a
chapter or two left. Then Numen went for a walk and simply disappeared from the
computer! I almost died. Gerry gave me all types of suggestions, friends did,
my IT friend stared for long hours at the darn computer Numen was not there. I
cried for two nights wondering where I was going to start. Third morning, I
went back to the computer and put it on, looking patiently at the files, my
mind blank and came across one that the computer had named ‘temp’. Puzzled I
clicked on it and there was…Numen!. I stared, and almost gingerly scrolled to
the last page of ‘temp’. She had shed weight, not much but I whispered softly
to her, asking her if she had missed home that much. I could continue and I
could finish. I respectfully invited Numen to continue. When my husband walked into
the sitting room he saw me in intense concentration, my head cocked to one side
as I listened inwardly and told the story as I heard it. Numen had assumed an
imperious tone and I had to catch up fast.
You might think I am crazy as I tell you this, but for
me, writing is always an emotional thing. I tend to feel the characters are
personal because you see after introducing them to you, they tend to follow me
around until they have finished their story. Some never really finish as they
assume I am always there to listen.
Numen just asked me if I have actually told you the
specifics of what I have been talking about. I apologize. The sequel of Numen
Yeye is now available to be purchased. Rose of Numen the sequel to Numen Yeye
is now in print and published.
You can get a copy at most online stores but particularly
at amazon.com

I will tell you some more very soon about why I wrote the
trilogy. The third book in the series will come out sometime next year.
I want to leave you with this question, is the concept of
God meant for only ‘civilized’ parts of the world?
Rituals, sacrifices and such ‘barbaric’ practices have
been defined by civilized countries as being the prerogative of the Dark race
of Africa, but from Historical records, is that really true?
I am having a headache just thinking of it. I have a
friend, he is British, a very good writer and he writes about the most brutal
things. After reading his first book, I have been afraid to open another page of
another book of his to read. He never gave mine a chance saying it was too
exotic and yes..barbaric. There was no ritual nor anything to give you
sleepless night. He just wrote me off the map. Kind of sad.
Numen Yeye is African fantasy on spiritualism, everyday
concept of our myths and confusion between our traditional religion and the
Western imports.
Rose of Numen continues where Numen yeye stopped. It is a
trilogy that I am sure you will love to read.
Take my loving dare and buy the two or anyone copy.
Talk soon’
