Marvin Rush
A Nigerian couple on their honeymoon get their relationship tested while navigating an unfamiliar city.
The story I never told
The girl behind the smile
My life changed in ways I never imagined when diabetes became part of my journey. Behind my smiles were fears, pain, hospital visits, and struggles that many people could never understand. Every day came with challenges, and sometimes I wondered why I had to face so much at such a young age. But this is not just a story about sickness. It is a story about courage, survival, and the strength to keep going when life becomes difficult. Through tears, uncertainty, and hope, I am learning that diabetes may be part of my life, but it will never define who I am. This is my story, my reality, and my journey—a journey I hope will inspire someone who feels alone in their own battles.

NEVER MAKE ME FEEL SAFE INSIDE LIES
Ayobami
Never Make Me Feel Safe Inside Lies is not a book about villains. Every character in these pages who withholds something is, in their own way, trying to protect someone — themselves, the people they love, or the fragile peace they've built out of years of practice. I wanted to write a story that took that impulse seriously, instead of flattening it into simple betrayal, because I think most real heartbreak is more complicated than that, and more human. This book is set in a Lagos and an Enugu that are, I hope, recognizable and specific — the markets, the traffic, the particular texture of a Sunday afternoon — because the story felt like it could only happen here, among people shaped by exactly this mix of warmth, dignity, and inherited caution. I hope you find, somewhere in these pages, permission to ask for the truth — even when it costs something. Especially then.
Star Struck By You
Zit_s

THE OTHER NAME
Temiloluwa K.
After three years of unexplained absence, Aderonke suddenly returns home with no memory of where she has been or what happened during the missing years. Her family welcomes her back, but their relief is overshadowed by an unsettling silence. Her mother seems frightened by questions that should have simple answers, while familiar places trigger fragments of memories Aderonke cannot understand—a yellow building, a woman's voice, a frightened child's hand, and a promise she cannot remember making. Then she discovers a small pink ribbon hidden among her belongings, marked with the initials M.O. When Aderonke begins asking questions, she learns that her cousin Morenike supposedly left for relatives in the East. But the memory of the child's hand she keeps seeing does not belong to Morenike. Then she discovers an old photograph showing three girls. Aderonke recognises herself and Morenike. The third girl is a mystery. As pieces of the past begin to surface, Aderonke realises that her family may have been hiding something for years—and that recovering her memories may reveal a truth far more frightening than the disappearance itself. Some memories disappear for a reason.

BABA OLOMI: The Wicked Landlord
African Tales
Baba Olomi: The Wicked Landlord No Condition Is Permanent At No. 14 Idozi Street, one man's word is law. Baba Olomi doesn't just collect rent — he collects fear. Tenants tiptoe around him like a landmine, terrified of the day their pockets run dry. Even the well behind his house has become his personal empire, where every bucket of water comes with a price, and mercy is a currency he refuses to spend. When Chidi, a struggling but sharp young graduate with nowhere else to turn, moves into the compound, he becomes just another name in Baba Olomi's ledger of debts and threats. But beneath his quiet, desperate obedience, Chidi is watching — noticing the cracks Baba Olomi doesn't know are showing. As tension boils beneath the surface of daily humiliations, stolen dignity, and a landlord who mistakes fear for respect, the compound is set on a collision course no one saw coming. Because power built on cruelty can only stand for so long and in this corner of Idozi Street, an old truth is about to prove itself once again: no condition is permanent. A story of pride, poverty, and the quiet power of the powerless. Dramatic, funny, and deeply, unmistakably African.
The Man Who Lost 10 Bitcoin
Godspower
In 2010, Ethan casually mined 10 Bitcoins on a clunky desktop computer—an eccentric experiment that cost him virtually nothing and was quickly forgotten. A decade later, as crypto headlines dominate global news and those 10 coins reach a value nearing $800,000, Ethan is hit with a devastating realization: the digital wallet holding his private keys was saved on a hard drive he threw into a neighborhood dumpster during a move. Drowning in financial pressure and consumed by bitter regret, Ethan embarks on a desperate quest to track down the drive's physical location. His obsession begins to fray his personal relationships and sanity as he sifts through urban landfills, deals with shady gray-market recovery hackers, and confronts the painful reality of what his life could have been. The Lost Key is a grounded, suspenseful character study exploring modern wealth, greed, and the heavy emotional weight of "what if." What genre or tone are you envisioning for the narrative (e.g., psychological thriller, quiet drama, or heist-style comedy)?
