My passionate love for creative writing, without a doubt, is a direct result of my intense interest in Literature. As a professional “F” Math student, I always found a sanctuary of relief in a novel or poem!
When I wrote a letter to the Editor of a local newspaper, sometime in 1980, little did I realize I had applied for a job! The Editor of the paper apprised me of his love for my writing style, and his interest in hiring me.
I soon became the paper’s parliamentary correspondent, in addition to writing columns, proofreading, and editing!
As a Preliminary student at the University of Sierra Leone, I became a featured contributor to the famed “Chuke’s Press”, getting mostly rave reviews for poems, especially!
After I was expelled from USL, I worked as a Reporter/Columnist for a few newspapers. I was also hired as a part-time English/Literature teacher, a position I proudly held until I left for the United States.
I enrolled at Western Illinois University, where I obtained a degree in Philosophy.
My family lives in Illinois.
I enjoy playing Chess and Scrabble, when family or intellectual interests don’t occupy my mind!показать меньше
