"WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE A BOOK ABOUT AN AFRICAN COUNTRY??"Our response is always - soon... Soon because frankly, sales beget more books and we are pretty new in the market. We thought more critically about this and came across a great site called IndieGoGo.com, global funding platform that allows the community to get involved in funding a project.
There is a outcry for more books representing African countries
and
There is a global funding platform just to help people in our position...
As such, the campaign for a story about Africa has developed. We started a campaign too and now we are celebrating it with our FIRST twitter party ever!

ReplyDeletelol - It is not too bad. We are pretty new at twitter parties too. basically, you just need to follow the hashtag and tweet along with us and win fun prizes! See you there.
DeleteHoping to be there! I'm following everyone and this will be my first twitter party. Love the reason behind this one. My daughter is half Nigerian and as a children's book author I definitely know there is a need for books on Africa. :)
ReplyDeleteSo awesome. We should connect outside of the twitter party - would love to hear more about your family and books!
DeleteCertainly! I would love to chat more about my growing family and my book, Isaac and the Bah Family Tree. Just let me know the best place to reach you. My twitter handle is @motheringnaomi.
