Fragments in a Kaleidoscope by Wambui...
Fragments in a Kaleidoscope is a tender, unflinching collection of stories that explores the messy, beautiful complexity of human experience. In these sharp, lyrical vignettes, Kieya and Gichuhi bring to life a chorus of voices; women finding agency in silence, men finding theirs in their voice, children caught in the undertow of adult failings, and lovers grappling with the weight of memory and loss. Each story is a fragment, but together they form a vivid mosaic of Kenyan life, past and present, mundane and extraordinary.
With wit, empathy, and a clear-eyed gaze, Kieya offers us a mirror and sometimes a wound. These are stories that refuse easy answers, choosing instead to dwell in nuance, contradiction, and the ever-shifting light of truth

Beer Pressure by Otieno Opondo
Timon Oywelowo’s path towards a better future is paved with several landmines. As an impressionable teenager, his friends pressure him into taking his first sip of beer. He’s found out, and the ensuing punishment sears the fear of beer into his consciousness.
He focuses on his studies and joins University in Kampala, Uganda, with only one job—getting his undergraduate degree. But is it that clear-cut? Outside of the University walls lies a totally different world. It is a world of unchecked freedom. A world where beer flows freely, immorality reigns supreme, partying is a way of life, and the desire to make it by any means is what counts.
Timon finds himself at a crossroads: will he keep on the straight and narrow, or will he veer off the rails and careen down the steep slope of destruction?

Eastern Butterfly by Sandra Nekh
The Eti, of little known East African monarchy Kdzigu Ety, are proud to possess a remarkable self-contained culture. They are an independent nation, developed from the split of the 18th Century Kingdom of Kidzigu Eti ―The Butterfly― to become Kdzigu Ety in the East and Mammor in the West.
A jaded old-timer American journalist, Aaron ‘Pelle’ Carter, travels to Kdzigu Ety searching for a career-defining story. The region is vibrant and alive, courtesy of the annual harvest festival and a Royal wedding. Mr. Carter relishes the idea of documenting a post-modern monarchical wedding ceremony though his true interests lie in the Butterfly’s aging patriarchal sovereigns ―Ikha Saram of Kdzigu Ety and Aba Naifa of Mammor, and their heirs, the Eastern Princess ―the Sifakh Lateiya Saram― and the Western Prince ―the Bukizo Kasim Naifa.
Beyond the Butterfly’s brilliance in propelling the African narrative, there lay secrets, and deviations that could change the fate of the whole region.
