Africa Online Book Fair
The Africa Online Book Fair: Romance Authors & Books is a weekend event, featuring 13 authors and 1 interview with an aspiring romance author. Each day will have a certain amount of authors that will showcase their books and who they are.
The online book fair takes place on Facebook. Here's a link to the event page. https://www.facebook.com/events/372063406523550/
Readers, you can come and go as you please since you don’t have to pay a ticket to enter or register. So come and meet your next favorite author! We’ll have discounted and free books, play games, you can win Amazon Gift Cards. Get a little bit closer to authors you want to chat with in real time and generally see what Africa’s got to offer for your romance taste buds.
There will be a Scavenger Hunt that you can enter and stand a chance to win a prize. You’ll have to go to every author’s post (“booth”) at the event and hunt for the number each author has “hidden” in one of their posts. At the end of the weekend you need to add up the amount and inbox co-host Kathy Bosman with your answer and she’ll draw a winner.
We are also running a sign up for our Newsletters competition that will start running with the Africa Online Book Fair blog tour from 17 to 31 May. You could win a 20$ Amazon Gift Card.
Sign up for as many newsletter as you want, each one is an entry: https://goo.gl/forms/uwdyuFB76kb67rqh2

1.
Can
you tell us a little about yourself?
I
live on the KZN North Coast. By day I'm a a lecturer at a TVET College.
I write
in between work, studies and life. I've been writing since the age of 9 and
decided I wanted to be a writer when I turned 13.
2.
What
do you enjoy about being an author?
Losing
myself in an alternate universe where nothing is as it seems.
3.
What
type of romance stories do you write? And why?
Young
adult paranormal, New Adult sci-fi and contemporary, romantic suspense, adult
contemporary.
I
write in different genres because my imagination allows me to.
Some days I
prefer contemp, others something extraordinary.
It depends on my muse, I guess.

4.
Favorite
place in Africa?
The
Boathouse, Ballito. I did a photoshoot there when I turned 40 last year
5.
Why
do you think African romance authors and stories set on the continent are
important?
In
my opinion we as African writers are under rated. South African hotspots like
Cape Town, Sandton, Durban, Ballito, Plettenberg Bay are all ideal locations
for jet-setting billionaire romances but are under used. It's important for
readers to know we fall in love too, we have bilionaires, we have upper class
hot spots. Perhaps this can influence tourism also.
6.
Do
you think romance stories set in Africa & Africans vital to the publishing
industry? If yes/no, why do you say
so?
Yes.
As above.
7.
What
traditional food do you love, that one can only find in Africa?
Bunny
Chow. Curry and phutu. Braaied meat.
