BackHomeAbroad and Other Stories by P...
In BackHomeAbroad and Other Stories, Pede Hollist presents fifteen stories of lives crossing continents, cultures, and personal histories. Hollist explores how migration reshapes narratives that confront racism, patriarchy, memory, and the unresolved weight of home.
In “Outbreak at the Renaissance”, a woman attributes her marital troubles to the physical scar she got from escaping death in Sierra Leone’s civil war. “Okonkwo’s Revenge” follows two characters from Things Fall Apart as they break free of the limits of Chinua Achebe’s book. In “Foreign Aid”, a man returns to Sierra Leone after twenty years to find that he is a stranger in his homeland. Finally, border towns fighting over a disputed piece of land are united by a hermaphrodite in “Wherever Something Stands, Something Else Must Stand Beside It”.
These compelling stories portray people between worlds, highlighting the tensions and possibilities of movement, memory, and change. Hollist’s voice is confident, incisive and quietly radical, marking this collection as an essential contribution to contemporary African literature.

Guardians of The Red Soil by Abdiriza...
About The Book.
The book is about a tale of resistance, loyalty, and hidden truths, set against the arid beauty of a forgotten village nestled deep in the savannah. Wayam may appear as just a speck on the map, but beneath its soil lies something priceless; so valuable that powerful forces are willing to erase an entire community to claim it.
Under the quiet leadership of Mzee Hassan, a seasoned village elder, the people of Wayam prepare, not just to defend their land, but to protect their history, their dignity, and the soul of their community.
This story is a mirror of many silent battles fought across forgotten lands: where greed meets resilience, and where the most powerful resistance is not in weapons, but in unity, courage, and Faith.

Steer Pressure by Otieno Opondo
Some cars aren't serious.
When they're brand new and you, a young driver their age, try to steer them, they scoff at your empty pockets. Instead, they opt for older, monied drivers who steer them carelessly over rough terrains and make them perform unnatural manoeuvres on the road.
In the process, their mileages hit the roof and their components wear thin. After extracting every kilometre of value, the older, monied drivers ditch them for newer cars.
That's when these cars pull a fast one.
They rebrand. They apply fresh paint and roll back odometers. And then they start piling pressure on you to buy and steer them exclusively. They pester you to buy everything they've already given to someone else for free.
This is where Steer Pressure comes in. It's your shield against the machinations of such cars. Read it and put it into practice, or else you'll cry in the toilet until bubbles come out of your nostrils.

The Silent Heroes: Beneath the Acacia...
Jasmine In July by Daniel Oyugi
In a village where waiting becomes a way of life, one family must learn that love
Jasmine in July means more than just holding on. When Professor William leaves his wife Imani and infant daughter Pendo for a prestigious position in Ecuador, he promises it's
temporary—six months, maybe eight. But as weeks turn into months, the distance
between them grows wider than any ocean. Back home, young Imani raises their
daughter alone, clinging to hope and the jasmine plant her husband gave her before
he left. "Beautiful and strong, " he'd said, "blooming even in difficult soil. " But
jasmine isn't the only thing being tested. With each passing day, the temptation to
give up—or give in—grows stronger. Mr. Amani, the aging patriarch next door,
watches over them with the wisdom of a man who's lost his own family to distance
and dreams. His adopted son may be gone, but his other son— Boiboi, the unchosen
brother drowning in alcohol and resentment—is dangerously close to losing himself
entirely. When tragedy strikes the village, it becomes a catalyst for change. Choices
must be made. Redemption must be earned. And a family fractured by ambition
must decide if love is patient enough to survive absence, strong enough to forgive
failure, and stubborn enough to bloom again. JASMINE IN JULY is a deeply moving
exploration of what it means to be family—not by blood or law, but by the daily
choice to stay, to fight, and to keep blooming even when the soil is difficult
