Prior to writing his best-selling novel, Sexorcised, Nyanchwani experimented with short stories, some of which were published in The East African. This collection is a compilation of his early writing full of potential, displaying his roaming and roving eyes at work. This anthology hints at the sardonic humour that would eventually characterize his writing.
Silas Nyanchwani is the author of several books, including Sexorcised, 50 Memos to Men, and Man About Town. When he is not writing "Memos to Men," he walks his dogs around Kitengela. He still claims to be Africa's tallest writer. He is a graduate of Columbia University and the University of Nairobi.
Herstory Unleashed: Empowered Women E...
Herstory Unleashed is a recount of history lived in the actions and words of some very brave women who have used their freedom of speech to write and rally, to inspire and empower. These are not just any women but African women, melanated women, women whose voices still count as a minority, rising above the majority to put permanent prints in history. Minority my foot!
Threads of Time: Torture, Imprisonmen...
Mugo Theuri was plucked from his reporting job at the lawcourts in Nakuru after barely three months in post and driven to Nairobi for what would turn out to be 49 days of torture in the infamous Nyayo House. Jailed for four years, he joined the ‘Liberation University’, the study group in prison, and emerged a much more thoughtful and reflective man. He uses personal memoir to thread his personal experiences into the historical events in the country and the world.
His experience with the courts, and his attempt to get justice for his wrongful imprisonment enable him to reflect on the justice system, just as his average scholarship give him clarity of how the country’s systems and policies discriminate against the poor and frustrate the right to justice and education.
The candour with which Threads of Time is rendered allows the reader into the writer’s personal crisis in struggling to reconcile his father’s public role as headman during the Mau Mau war of independence in a context where most of his family were guerrillas in the forest, as well as his relationship with religion.

Kenya Pioneer Chronicles by Stephen M...
Before the turn of the nineteenth century the white man’s destination in Africa was more often fixed in his mind than on a map; his route was unlikely to be charted; the land mass was known in Europe by three words... ‘The Dark Continent’... Every pioneering family in Kenya had equally fascinating tales to tell and each member of the family many unique anecdotes. Some pioneers were barely in their twenties, holding a common conviction of exchanging an old way life for something new brim-full with promise and opportunity.
Their departures from “home” were filled with bustle, panic and a sense of finality; mothers, fiancées and wives mopped their swollen eyes believing that the dark continent would swallow their beloveds whole. A few men did disappear but Africa was honed again and again by those survivors with technical knowhow, who made British East Africa their home.
They strove daily for the dream and once achieved, the dream did not last for as long as they had hoped. This book is not for the oldest generation of Kenyans but to show their grandchildren (black and white) and in turn their great, great grandchildren that their forbears took on raw canvas and broke virgin soil.

Echoes of Life by Truphie Njiru
The Biblical account of Life, as we know it today, has its nascent beginnings in the Garden of Eden - the garden planted by God Himself. And yet, this is only a tiny fraction of the entire universe that is in existence. Everything within the borders of the universe points to One who cannot fit within any boundary, and yet reaches out and invites us to know Him in all His limitlessness.
The first two humans that had their dwelling in Eden, were unfortunately the last as well. They were not only God's masterpiece, but the crown on His creation. One can only imagine what Eden's picturesque sights afforded any observer walking into it.
We follow these two, Adam and Eve in time through their daily delightful encounters, as they unfold each petal of adventure, and discover, with each passing day, the treasure that creation really is.
Where did the world come from by Trup...
The story in this book is based on the Bible, and takes the children on a journey from the beginning of the world. The young ones will enjoy the maze, puzzle and code games, the songs, and the drawing and colouring exercises, among other activities. They will get to discover the wonder of the world around them.
