New Adult Tales for Adults offers a Moral and a Tease
These are not revelations involving talking spiders or cute monkeys. Read a different side of African fiction; delve into soft porn and hard emotions between the men and women from the "Mother Continent". Jealousy, lust, rage, revenge and betrayal are just a few of the passions on display. African Fables for Adults would be banned in several countries, today.

A Priestess who can't keep her clothes on as she plots to marry a god.
A brother who lusts for his sibling's wife-to-be, a captured white slave

Africa Is Grinding into Controversial Themes for Adults
Traditional stories have to step aside for topics that were often considered taboo. Feminism, gender rights, religion and the freedom to express our beliefs are where modern African literature is moving. Despite the day-to-day troubles in humankind's place of origin, there is tremendous wealth and mind-blowing culture available to the sons and daughters spread around the world
"Adult Fables" is merely the first in a shower of exciting literature to come.
