From A Great Writer And Humanitarian, Biola Olatunde

Blood Contract

Ken (Kenawari) left his village in the Niger Delta region many years ago, carrying with him emotional scars. However, he did make a life for himself in the city and built a reputation as a slick troubleshooter in inter-village disputes, of which there were many. He was one of the best operators on the books of the private security firm he worked for.

Then it happened. There was trouble in his tribal home. Reluctantly he agreed to return. Not only has he got to settle a dispute that resulted in kidnapping, and tread gingerly through the political minefield of the region - including local robber barons, but he also has to face the most fearsome obstacles of all - his past.

Blood Contract is not just an adventure set in the dangerous swamps of the Niger Delta, it is also the story of a man who is imperfect and must finally find some reconciliation with his past. Most of all, Biola Olatunde provides the reader with a vivid social commentary of the lives and challenges of those who live in this most neglected of corners of the earth.

For those of you who desire a break from the hum-drum drudgery of life, then I suggest you get yourself to:

and purchase DOING CARTWHEELS ON DOOMSDAY AFTERNOON by John Yamrus. It is a collection of delightful and refreshing, thought-provoking and sensual poems, employing an "everyday everyman's" motif of words. It is truly outstanding.

FOSEBOOK

It is my privilege to be a collaborative member of the blog Flowers of Sulfur. Recently, the first FOS anthology has been made available as a free e-edition (please see the link below) with the print version soon to follow.

This anthology showcases the great artistic and poetic talent that can be found on the blog. It's members offer the brilliant colors of literary and visual creations, a sustenance often lacking on the table of daily living.

Come join us and enjoy yourselves.
