I am delighted to note that my friend & author from Milton Keynes, Susan Popoola, has won the ‘Author of the Year’ Category at the recent Annual Women4Africa Awards 2013.

Susan is the author of two successful books: Touching The Heart of Milton Keynes and Consequences: Diverse to Mosaic Britain. The latter published last year. She is known for writing that takes readers on reflective journeys as she tackles challenging subjects & presents them in a simple, accessible form.

Women4Africa is a UK registered organisation focused on celebrating & empowering Africa & its women by supporting & celebrating their role in their communities.

Great fun giving copies of The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency to people in my area. Strange how people, who didn’t read books & didn’t want a free book, reacted as if reading is a slightly sordid affair akin to mild drug taking. Never viewed it from that perspective before!

Having successfully given away 24 books last year, I’m delighted to have been selected as a Giver again this time. My book for 2013 is The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith.
