Interview With Author Chukwuemeka Ndefo
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a Nigerian born into a family of 6 and majored in Computer Science. I write software for businesses and educational institutions.
My interest in writing books was born out of my love for helping my students get their books out to the world. I mainly serve as the editor of their manuscripts and as well as their publisher. I go as far as promoting these books with various publishers and aggregators online.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Repercussion – A moral story was the first and the latest book I published. Demilade, a student of mine came to me with her manuscript written in an exercise book. She spoke so passionately about her story, and I knew from that moment that her story will become a sensation.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write quotes which are now over 1000. I will soon publish them free on my website.
What are you working on now?
I am working on two other books: one by Demilade, and the other by her friend.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Amazon KDP has proven to be authors’ best friend. I also use Lulu.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Writing books takes dedication. Above all is the motivation behind your writing. You will go far as an author when what drives you is beyond mere making money. As for me, I cannot bear failing those young writers who trust me to push their stories to the world.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Be original!
What are you reading now?

What’s next for you as a writer?
Delve into biographies of most Nigerian business tycoons.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
