On this website I share my thoughts, experiences and the stories to die for.
I write books, tell stories and speak at events. Beyond these, I am an advent reader, and a diehard fan of Country and Oromo music.
Over the past few years, I’ve enjoyed some milestones, including:
- Published 3 successful books: Unfit for Society, A Curve of Darkness and Highland Cactus
- Co-authored academic books that are used in primary and secondary schools nationwide.
- Had two of my works shortlisted for the African Writers Award and the Writing Gender Residency Awards by Huza Press and Goethe Institute Kigali

New Release
Highland Cactus
Highland Cactus is a collection of short stories infused with succinct poetry. The stories are set in different regions in Kenya with a focus on the North of Kenya and Marsabit.
The characters take the readers through their experiences, talking about growing up, the desire to kill that which hurt them, the poison that hometowns can be and the need to get away, the feeling of abandonment in cases of domestic violence, and the suffering of children in these situations.
The stories are light and heavy, with a rawness that will definitely evoke emotions and trigger the reader’s minds to come on the ride.
What Readers Are Saying
Here are some of the commentaries and remarks about my three latest books:
A Curve of Darkness is not where you go for answers. Written with such honesty, a touch of vulnerability and an 'I am trying to figure this life out same as you' attitude, this book is for the lost sheep who don't want to be found. If you are looking for somebody who understands you because they relate with what you are going through, welcome to the campfire.
Charles Chanchori
Author
Written in the exuberant flair of a poet, Unfit for Society celebrates the resilience of a people striving to survive in a harsh and unforgiving environment, the soaring aspirations of the younger generation for a better life and stands as a challenge to society to re-examine its ethos; some of which have clearly been overtaken by time.
