I'm a Kenyan writer with a wider world view. I love to write stories that will edutain but not bog you down with the lesson. I want to say I write so you can read for fun, but on second thought, my stories do tend to get deep. I don't mean to. It's just how it goes. Enjoy it anyway. cry, laugh, cuss me out, read again. If you want to cuss me out in person, seek me out on my website. I look forward to speaking with you about my stories.

Diana hadn't seen its type since she'd been no more than a tween. But now here she was, in Back Water Australia, on a sheep farm, unable to sleep for fear of some king cobra curling itself around her. Confronted with the shrilly ringing contraption that used to be a communication device back when the earth was cooling.
She reached out hesitantly and picked it up.
