Are All My Novels About African Stories? Let Me Tell You the Truth.

I received a question in the comments recently that I believe many of you have probably wondered too:
“Are all your novels about African stories?”
It’s a fair question, especially if you’ve been following my work. I’ve made it clear—my mission is to tell raw, uncensored African stories. Stories that reflect the struggles, the victories, the traditions, and the many changes shaping our beautiful continent. I specialise in non-fiction African narratives, diving deep into our experiences and giving voice to what many shy away from. That’s the core of my writing—truthful African storytelling.

But here’s the twist…
Not all my novels are African stories.

Let me explain.

While African storytelling is my primary focus, I also write fiction. In fact, I’ve written nearly a dozen fiction manuscripts—some dating back to my teenage years. These books live on my computer, waiting patiently to be reborn, rewritten, or maybe even published someday. They’re different, imaginative, and nothing like my African narratives—but they still hold a piece of me.

Here are a few of those hidden gems I’ve never shared before:

1. The Killing Hand

Genre: Supernatural Thriller
Setting: A modern African city, haunted by ancient darkness

This story begins at a red traffic light. A heavily pregnant woman encounters a strange homeless man. When she refuses to give him money, cursing him out, the man suddenly transforms into a demon. Time freezes. The city halts. And everything spirals into supernatural chaos. The woman ends up in hospital, fully dilated, but unable to give birth. Power goes out citywide. Even the backup gen

Suddenly, the city goes dark. Hospitals, homes, traffic lights—every power source fails. She is rushed to the hospital, but something isn’t right. She’s fully dilated, but the baby refuses to come out.
Why?
Because she’s not just giving birth to a child.
She’s the portal for a demon—one that demands to be born in absolute darkness.

2. Heroes of Earth

Genre: Dystopian Sci-Fi
Setting: Post-collapse America, 2035

In a broken world where war is constant, food is a luxury, and even the President lives in fear, four Harvard graduates—Jesse, Jane, Jack, and Jennifer—are trying to survive. With no jobs and no future, they feel like geniuses trapped in a useless world.

Then he arrives. A mysterious man from the future with a charming smile and big promises—jobs, food, safety. But what he really wants is to erase them.
Why?
Because these four are not just smart—they’re chosen. Each one holds a hidden power strong enough to save the world or destroy it. As they begin to discover their gifts, they’re hunted by this man, Nicolas, who knows exactly what they’re capable of. He’s seen the future—and in every version, they stop him from becoming ruler of the world.

3. Amora & Angels

Genre: Spiritual Fiction / Coming-of-Age
Setting: Earth and the unseen realm

Amora is just five years old when she realises something extraordinary—she can see angels. Not in dreams. Not in visions.
But in classrooms, bathrooms, hallways, and playgrounds. They speak to her. Protect her. Warn her. Her favourite angel, Innocent, is like a brother.

But as Amora grows, she begins to change. She starts partying, drinking, rebelling against everything she once believed. One by one, the angels begin to shift.

Innocent appears one night weak and broken, one wing torn and bloodied. Faith—once full of hope—now curses the heavens and leaves to “find himself.” Joy and Light? They pack their things and abandon her.

By age 25, Amora is a wife and mother. Then suddenly, they return. But they are no longer angels. They are demons—haunting her house, her child, her peace. And now, Amora must do the unthinkable: turn demons back into angels. Not by force, but by revisiting every moment, every decision, every sin that made them fall.

Final Thoughts

So, to answer the question truthfully: No, not all my novels are about African stories. While my heart beats for real African narratives, I also love fiction. I wrote many of these stories for fun, as a young dreamer exploring her imagination. I never planned to publish them—they were just my escape. But now? I’m thinking about rewriting them with a new perspective. Older. Wiser. Sharper.
Who knows? You might fall in love with them too.
