Abuja Literary Society Book Jam Features A Famous Trio by Abujafood: 1:30pm On Nov 28, 2012
Abuja’s monthly book feast continues its non-stop literary entertainment this month when it features debut author Samuel Kolawole author of The Book of M , alongside bestselling author of Switch Deji Fisho whose new book Decoded was recently published. Joining the duo is debut playwright, Dili Nwankwo, author of The Verdict of the Oracle. The trio will feature in the November BookJam at the Silverbird Entertainment Centre Abuja on Friday 30th November.

November’s Book Jam authors are a diverse and talented trio that will surely thrill Abuja’s literati. Ibadan-based, Samuel Kolawole is a fresh voice in fiction writing whose debut book is a must read for thriller and suspense lovers. Deji Fisho, banker and business developer, has already established a reputation for innovative thinking and leadership.

A Trustee of the Abuja Literary Society, Fisho’s self-made entrepreneurial success is evidence of the focused can-do spirit from which he authored the bestselling selling "Switch" in 2010. His new book "Decoded" continues the trend of transformative motivational writing for Nigerian youths. Abuja-based Nwankwo is a Law professional whose deep interest in creative writing has been sustained for several years with forays into poetry and books for children.

Samuel Kolawole’s prose fiction, The Book of M, has received numerous positive reviews from literary acclaimed magazines such as Pulp Fiction magazine and StoryTime of South Africa, Nigeria’s Next newspaper and Eastown Fiction, of Michigan, USA. Described as a dark, gritty and frightening tale in several reviews, Kolawole’s The Book of M touches upon the themes of sex, superstition, lust and greed. It combines “imaginative and detailed writing,” says Jenna Cato Bass, Co-Editor, Pulp Fiction Magazine.

Deji Fisho is the founder of "Switch development initiative" an NGO with the drive to rewrite and redefine the values of Nigerians. He is an entrepreneur, International motivation speaker and a force to reckon with in the financial and consultancy circles. His first book titled "Switch", explores the dynamics of leadership and transformation. His recent book, "Decoded", is a handbook of a kind to prospective entrepreneurs. It is a motivational read with practical and challenging passages that gives the reader focus and direction on whatever ideas they intend to develop.

Dili Nwankwo is a graduate of Law, Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT). His first book The Ambitious Village Boy was published in 2003. An author of several children’s book such as Ogadi, The Golden Girl and Jay-Jay Weeps from Sleep, he writes poetry for which he has received awards. Verdict of the Oracle is his first step into playwriting. The drama centers on the phasing out of traditional practices following the arrival of Christianity in a community it shows the idiosyncrasies of the earlier and traditionalist beliefs and the need to draw a line between greed and personal aggrandizement.
