Other of his books include Ayuwa and the Wicked Queen; The Circumcision; The Tortoise and the Cricket; The Greedy Python & Other Stories; & Tiny Mosquitoes. All published as eBooks in various retailers. His tales are often characterized by animals that play tricks on each other and ends up with dire consequences to the evildoer.
