I take walks, and go for a run as I've found these to help with bringing ideas. I also watch a lot of YouTube videos of other writers talking about their projects and this helps me get excited for mine. Finally, I make novel aesthetic boards on pinterest and listen to my book playlists to get me into the writing mood :)(less)

An Excerpt From Whispers Of Promise And Glory // A Christian Coming Of Age, No Spice Romance Set In Cameroon

Chapter 1: Bex THE BEGINNING OF THE END June 2017 A famous African proverb states that a man with too much ambition cannot sleep in peace. In other words, it is all the plans in his head and the hope for his glorious future that drive his peace away. But that was not the case for Priscilla Ekema.

What sold me was the writer boy x writer girl trope and the inter cultural aspect of the book.

I can't wait for more book by the author😊"

I’m the author and this is my book baby so of course I’m going to be biased. ☺️

God first gave me the idea for this book back in 2018. I finished the first draft in 2020 and didn’t pick the manuscript back up again until 2025. It has taken a long time
