Thou Shalt Love
Among many things, there are two things a Liberian woman can’t be. She can’t be a single woman at thirty, and she definitely can’t be a sex addict. Mildred, a successful lawyer and exceptional granddaughter, and her sister, Susan, a businesswoman and battered girlfriend, are united under the roof of their grandmother, Louise, where family and love always prosper. Yet, in their personal lives, Susan and Mildred find themselves unlucky in love time and again. Separately, they discover that keeping secrets from one another is a lonely journey, which ends in heartache. Only when they realize that they must face life’s challenges together, do they see that they can survive – them against the world. Susan and Mildred Carter must navigate the struggles of the 21st Century woman in a male-dominant society at all costs. In a trilogy about growth and personal discovery, Susan and Mildred will navigate the winding roads of life side-by-side, contending with great change and learning that they must love, trust, and forgive, no matter what comes their way.

168 Guys
Over the course of my life I have had sex with almost 300 Guys. Some of it was good, some great, some regrettable, some awkward, some borderline traumatic, some laughable and some phenomenal. However, each and every Guy I ever had sex with is a story to be told.It's a story I started telling around the time I had been with about 168 Guys, hence my blog can be found at www.168guys.com.The act of sex teaches us about ourselves, at a moment when we are at our most naked.

I simply chronicle my experiences over the years.168 Guys is abou...
Welcome to Lagos
“Storylines and twists abound. But action is secondary to atmosphere: Onuzo excels at evoking a stratified city, where society weddings feature ‘ice sculptures as cold as the unmarried belles’ and thugs write tidy receipts for kickbacks extorted from homeless travelers.” —The New Yorker When army officer Chike Ameobi is ordered to kill innocent civilians, he knows it is time to desert his post. As he travels toward Lagos with Yemi, his junior officer, and into the heart of a political scandal involving Nigeria’s education minister, Chike becomes the leader of a new platoon, a band of runaways who share his desire for a different kind of life. Among them is Fineboy, a fighter with a rebel group, desperate to pursue his dream of becoming a radio DJ; Isoken, a 16–year–old girl whose father is thought to have been killed by rebels; and the beautiful Oma, escaping a wealthy, abusive husband. Full of humor and heart, Welcome to Lagos is a high–spirited novel about aspirations and escape, innocence and corruption. It offers a provocative portrait of contemporary Nigeria that marks the arrival in the United States of an extraordinary young writer.
