Author - Olunosen Louisa Ibhaze
Olunosen Louisa Ibhaze (aka Ooluss Louisa Ibhaze) started writing at a very early age with her friends and sisters as her proofreaders. “I love the ability to create characters and make them do what I want!” Coming from a large family, growing up was fun and there was always something to gossip about. She had the privilege to travel vastly and live in many places, thus learning different cultures and languages.

At present she works as a freelance editor and Programme Officer for Research and Documentation.
