I'm an African writer based in greater L.A county. I've been a passionate story teller most of my life, and been seriously writing since graduating USC film school. My passion is telling stories that show both the complexity and simplicity of the human spirit.
Man In A Cage is a well crafted contained thriller with elements of drama, intrigue, and lots of action. The story centers around issues of family secrets, their revelation, and how the past can come back to haunt us. The story features a strong connection to Africa, and how we are all prisoners of our own making, regardless of where we're from, our background, or circumstances.
