Happiness At Last is One



Happiness At Last. I bless God🙏🏼

Hello Lovely People, like I already hinted in the previous post Happiness At Last is One year old today. More like, it’s one year since I became a published author. I truly feel accomplished. I can’t tell you exactly how much this means to me.

Over the past months, I have learnt more in regards to publishing a book. The amount of time spent in writing the story, correcting and rewriting are huge tasks but then come the promotion bit.

In my opinion, book promotion is the tricky part. When no one knows you, you literally have to put more effort to get your book across to so many people. For instance, if Michelle Obama and the likes can organise a pre book launch tours and spends millions of dollars in book promotion what more can be said about the essence of book promotion but obviously not every can afford that.

Nevertheless, I must admit I’m using various social media platforms to publicise my work. I’ve done some advertising too. I will like you to help me by sharing this link with your friends.

On a good note, I’ve independently republished Happiness At Last. It is available in Amazon for purchase. I will talk about this in more depth on a different post. It took me months and some investigations but I eventually did it. Yep!

Mixed Blessings from a Cambridge Union: A book



It was an honour meeting a great talent and an industrious woman.

Attending “In Conversation with Elizabeth ” at the city hall reminded me how much our our stories shape us.

She had accomplished so much as a person and career wise.

Her book “Mixed Blessing from a Cambridge Union” is a great read.It is beautifully written. I can confidently tell my fellow Nigerians know how to deliver a neat job😄

Flipping through pages introduced me to who she really is. It is very important that stories of racial injustice are told for people to learn and most importantly prevent such occurrences. You are truly a blessing to this generation.

I am truly touched and inspired by her story and her works.

Do grab your copy of the book. You will love every bit of it.

Update on Happiness At Last



I’m pleased with the way Happiness At Last is gaining momentum. Like most of you know, I published a book in February; still feels like yesterday though.

I have been contacting different book stores, bloggers and you name it, all to make sure that the book is made known to different people and available to purchase in various book stores.

The other day while I was in a train to Basingstoke I met a colleague and as we chatted I mentioned the book and she was excited to hear just that. She immediately asked for a signed copy from me. Like always, I normally have copies with me😄

Well, if I don’t promote my work or carry it about, who else will?

In addition, another reader was kind to send me a picture after purchasing the book online.

On a better note, I got a splendid review from a blogger Hardipsinh. Do have a look. It gives me great joy to read what others think about my work. Thanks once more Hardip🙏🏼

Have you grabbed your copy yet?

Happiness At Last in a interesting story that depicts the bittersweet adventure of two young hearts in their quest of self discovery in the twilight of Africa’s economic boom.

Thanks for reading.

The Mentor



Last week was an interesting one for me as I met a writer-friend online. This friend was actually keen to know a few things about my book publication and the protocols involved.

He asked questions nicely and I found his humility intriguing.

Being an online chat, I tried to answer his questions whenever I could. Having seen his online profile; which was the picture of a book, I had assumed he was a published author but as we chatted he made me understood that he was drafting his last chapters and have been in contact with several publishers.

I told him he was doing great because he was already promoting his work.

He told me about his Wattpad page where he has over 500k readers. I was impressed with his method and told him he was on the right path for his book.

I went on and created a wattpad page and over the next fews weeks will be uploading my book in chapters there😄 However, I do not think it is very encouraging if you are not published yet. I mentioned my concern to my friend and he said he had that under control.

I narrated my deal with the publishers with him, most of them he already knew. He was aware of the fact that most publishers would take 80% for each copy you sell and clearly doesn’t want to go through that route. I explained to him my idea of how kindle publishing works in Amazon and why I needed a publishing company for my first work.

Ha! Before I forget, he kept calling me mentor right from the very beginning. He told me that he was happy chatting with me as he had tried on countless occasions to connect with different local authors online but none responded to him.

Well, I try to respond to people most of the time, I can tell when I receive silly messages.

I am filled lots of book promotion ideas because that the phase I’m in now😄

As always, I love to learn from anybody and at any opportunity. This experience reminded me of my all-time quote “A candle loses nothing by lightening others”

It sounds like I’ve actually gotten a writer-buddy. We shared ideas and encouraged each other. Hopefully, we will push ourselves to produce our best.

Have you read my Midyear Gratitude post?
