edit data

I’m an architect and a writer. Born and raised in Zambia, I grew up watching way too much tv and reading way too many books. I was already trying to write by age 7... it didn’t go well. I wasn’t trying to be a writer. People didn’t become writers in my world. So it never occurred to me to want to be one. I just lived in a world of books and so couldnt help but write. The streets of Nottingham is my first published book, I have a few others doing time in various rubbish bins across the nation.

The streets of Nottingham

In Nottingham there is a healer. He knows you are coming, but he is not waiting for you; for he knows something you do not...
