I had fun interacting with @nnedi.bsky.social at #Heartlandbookfestival and got lots of my books signed and personalized by her.

She’s awesome.

He laughed at the violence

People are laughing at him getting shot.

None of this is civilized behavior.

The book reads like two books in one. Enjoyable. Fast-paced and intriguing. @Nnedi didn’t shy away from exploring how ridiculous Cancel Culture is and she has continued to write about strong FMCs.

You are an inspiration to many of us, Nigerians in the U.S., who are trying to write our stories—African stories.
Who Fears Death was my first read, masterpiece that allowed me to discover your works.
