About The Author:
Born in Cameroon, a country often said to be a miniature version of Africa, Christian P. Kemabia discovered his passion for fiction writing in his late teens after having been introduced to the works of the literary greats such as Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway, Phillip K. Dick not to mention heavy-weights of European literature like Henry Troyat, Georges Simenon just to name but a few.
Since then, writing and particularly storytelling have become a big part of his life; something that he uses constantly to understand the world and the people around him. For he strongly believes that stories have the ability to help us answer the riddles of life all the while being entertaining.
He currently lives in Los Angeles, CA, where he recently graduated from film school and can now write to his heart's content.
