Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Ngozi Edema. I am a stay-at-home mom who enjoys writing children’s stories and recipes.
I started my journey into the world of writing and self-publishing in January 2017 when I published my first book, Bringing Africa Home: A Cookbook of 52 Easy African Recipes.
Two years later, I published Mama’s Daycare my first children’s book.
The Proud Sunflower and Mel the Monkey and the Aligator were published in August 2020.
Freddy and the Veggies April 2021 and Tyson the Lion who ignored his mom’s advice August 2021. Making a total of 5 books.
I consider it a privilege to share a part of myself with you and your little ones through my books. And please let me know what your kids think of these books!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Tyson the Lion who ignored his mom’s advice
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t know if this is unusual, but I inspiration early in the mornings and when I am going for walks. I stopped to write down my ideas so I don’t forget. My notes app on my iPhone is my go-to media for taking down new ideas!
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Eric Carle: His books are simple and colourful for younger children and I like that they often stir curiosity.
Roald Dahl: He lets his readers be a part of the story. Very interactive.
What are you working on now?
I am working on a book to help moms become self-published authors too!
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I run Facebook and Amazon ads
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Whether you are traditionally published or self-published, the best person to promote you is YOU. Never be embarrassed to tell people about your book. If you don’t tell them they won’t know and won’t buy!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Take each day as it comes.
What are you reading now?
The Underdog Advantage by Dean Graziosi
What’s next for you as a writer?
