I personally know Sophia and meet yearly at a summer party organised for people from the same community in Eastern Nigeria. As an avid reader, I have read and reviewed one of her books on Amazon – [Their Journey a Christian fiction] and I must say that book was an absolutely riveting read and still remains high on my ‘Top interesting books to read’ list. It is easy to say I am self-confessed fan!
– Hmmn, in my mind, my age is not a barrier as I believe writing is a talent God has given me. What I keep in my mind is: I can do all things through Christ who gives me the strength and this has been my cornerstone.
– Yes! I imagine different scenarios: I might sing or cry or scream or just be struck speechless.
– From the bible, my family and life in general through God’s inspiration.
– It depends on the plot and the research required: I would say six months.
– Hmmn. Let’s see. Stories for Younger Generations.
– I would say The Captive’s Crown. The setting is in Israel and so I had to carry out an extensive research on the rich culture, names, food, the people and the like.
– That would be-e-e, er let’s see. Choosing between 2 favourites can be tricky. Between Stories for Older generations and the Crown. I will go with the ‘The Crown’.
– It reminds me of a period in my life, starting employment as a young graduate in a school environment. The main character, Sunbo is portrayed as a wife, a mother and a teacher doing her best in all those roles amidst the demands they bear on her marriage and work life.
