Started working on my next #book, a collection of short stories, first published in 2014. At that time one scholar said it was the first single author collection of specfic stories from Africa (perhaps by an author based on the continent, as someone pointed out that Nnedi had published hers the year before). Anyway, this book put me up on the specfic map.
Read a sample story, The Leafy Man, here.
