How do you hold onto love without losing yourself?
Between Two Shadows is a quiet rebellion disguised as a story — the kind that slips into the room uninvited, like a memory you didn’t ask for but needed to face.
Set between the fading values of yesterday and the loud freedoms of today, it follows men and women trying to love in a world where love has become both weapon and refuge.
Marriages crack under modern independence. Dreams buckle under poverty and pride. Young hearts are pulled between passion and responsibility.
This is a novel that doesn’t shout. It watches. Every character is a mirror — reflecting who we are, and exposing what we fear becoming.
A story of the choices we celebrate, the ones we regret, and the ones we make simply because no one taught us better.

Life In No Order: A compilation of short stories by Kendi Karimi
A head scratching, heart stopping collection of stories
Praise for the stories in Life In No Order
GENRE: SHORT STORY
TITLE: OUR BRIEF HEAVENLY HOUR
WRITER: KENDI KARIMI, KENYA
REVIEWER: HALIEO MOTANYANE, LESOTHO
WEBSITE: WRITER'S SPACE AFRICA
Captivity is one of the biggest achievements that a writer should rejoice in whenever their story masters it. For a story to be a masterpiece, the reader should be captivated to the point of not wanting to stop reading while wishing the story should not end.
This is what Kendi Karimi’s story has done to me. Rather than call ‘Our Brief Heavenly Hour’ a short story, it would fit perfectly as a ‘Personal Letter’.
“Kendi, you have a deep-rooted philosophical soul that is unparalleled in verse! Your poetic style is quite unique.”
-LANCE SHERIDAN
Don’t Wait In The Sun, Dance In The Rain
Your prose is so incredibly eloquent. The metaphors you create uniquely elevate your writing. You convey the joy of love, the grief of heartbreak, and the beauty of healing so intimately and powerfully.”
-PHOENIX WILLIAMSON

“Wow! This such a motivational and inspiring story. Everyone's lives have dark days and when I am going through mine, this story would keep me alive. This has given the readers (or maybe me) the strength to keep their hopes on guard.”

About the book
Stories are never just stories the same way love isn't just love or hate just hate. With love, you make the life-altering decision to live and die by your lover's side when marriage come along. With hate, you bully a child into submission, into self-loathing, into depression.
With stories, you tell about your share of pain and joy, love and hate and in doing so, you knit a lovely invisible creation that sheds light on culture and history as is in your time. You have the chance to immortalize something with a story, a chance to shine the torch on life. These stories, these histories, are poetic, vivid, full.
Life in no order is a collection of short stories that talk about life, in no order.

Dawn of Fortune by Wanjiru M. Thuku
Dawn of Fortune is largely a journal in the romance niche. It journeys the reader through the life of the lead character Ami. From the onset, it highlights the impeding nature of forced marriages in most African cultures. Most of which openly undermine the girl child in terms of education and expression. Does our lead character Ami bow down to the pressure?
It also lays emphasis on the imperfections of love, what would seemingly look like a beautiful thing to experience.
We see the lead character falling in love and getting hurt by it. Ideally, this journal explores real life experiences and brings them all together explosively. What would,otherwise, leave the reader glued and in suspense to no end. The journal being thought provoking, gripping and a real page-turner beautifully captures the reader's attention and creativity makes them adopt a role.

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
A heartwarming and refreshing debut novel that proves one thing: there's not enough data in the world to predict what will make your heart tick.
Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases — a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old.
It doesn't help that Stella has Asperger's and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice — with a professional. Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan.
The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can't afford to turn down Stella's offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan — from foreplay to more-than-missionary position.
Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but to crave all the other things he's making her feel. Soon, their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic.

The Novel ‘ Between Two Shadows’, feels like a story that is told around a fire just like the old times. It seeks to not only entertain but also educate. I dare say caution even. Weaving through the carefully described characters mirrors some of the most difficult decisions we make in life – choosing life partners and relationships in general. It is quite a thought-provoking piece.
