Résumé

In the hustles of Eastlands, nobody wins. One dame is desperate and calculatingly manipulative. The other is a gash who just makes hash of the arrogant male romantic interests through her offhand sexuality. This is a story about misfits. An ugly woman who is a wall climber, a cripple in a wheelchair who calls the shots, a pastor whois a big con, a shylock who wants to be an MP, a ghetto thug whose only dream in life is to own a matatu.
Atieno Mary Bella is an artist and an enterprise owner whose her struggles with her work, doubts about her talent, and complicated relationships often puts her at odds over affections associated with men. Working for her is Akombe Bosibori, a backstabbing marketer who has designed a campaign for a multi-million national disability project that will utilise government funds to raise awareness in the low income areas of Nairobi.
However, the whole thing is orchestrated by a man in a wheelchair, the flamboyant Tutu Kulundeng, a mastermind and organiser of grand schemes for the cartel-run government. And in Nairobi, Kenya corruption is king. He wants an existing advertising agency to use to siphon millions from the government. Using the scrawny underdog, Kiprotich, he knows how to manipulate Bosibori. Atieno and Bosibori place their bets on four unreliable characters in their power struggle: Atieno on Papa Kamande, a shylock and grand thief, and on Ojuku, a ghetto thug.
Bosibori places hers on Kulundeng and on Pastor Otodo, a greedy two-timing preacher who brainwashes with intent to take over Atieno's company and add it to his wealth as an assets of his church. Kulundeng, Otodo, Kamande and Ojuku think they know the ropes; and women. Maybe they do. But they don't know Atieno too well, otherwise they'd have realised that they are just flies stumbling into the deadly web of a woman who is beautiful to look at but lethal to mess with
I am an African storyteller at heart, a novelist who finds inspiration in the complexities of modern life and the rich tapestry of my heritage. Born and raised in Kenya, I have spent over two decades writing stories that explore the collision of culture, history, and identity in the fast-evolving world around us. My books are deeply rooted in the African experience, yet they carry universal themes-love and danger, power and control, corruption, and the resilience of the human spirit.
My characters are often misfits navigating a society grappling with greed, violence, politics, and the struggle for survival. I strive to bring these characters to life with nuance and depth, drawing readers into their worlds with emotional reflection and honesty. Beyond novels, I wear many hats: I'm a graphic designer, book editor, and fine artist. Whether I'm designing a striking book cover or editing a manuscript, I pour my creativity and passion into every project.
I also take pride in helping fellow writers shape their stories and bring their visions to life. When I'm not writing, I'm usually reading a good thriller, crafting designs, or reflecting on the ever-changing rhythms of life. My stories are a labor of love, a tribute to the resilience and beauty of the human spirit. I invite you to explore my work, immerse yourself in the worlds I've created, and share in the stories that mean so much to me.
