A big warm welcome to Kemka Ezinwo to my blog, the author of Something New.
Firstly, a little about the book:
Two women are hauled together by their husbands’ partnership but that’s not all they have in common.
After five years of being married to Moses without any children to show for it, Athena is at a crossroad which is further exasperated by an obnoxious mother-in-law who brings in another woman to help the process; to top it off her husband is cheating on her.
Temitope has been married to Olamide for ten years. Although she has two daughters she desperately needs to give birth to a male child that will inherit her husband’s empire and secure her marriage. She is worried that a mistake she had made is costing her the opportunity of doing so and will do anything to ensure no other woman takes her place.
One thing is certain they’ll do anything to keep their marriage… but will they succeed?
Meanwhile, Moses starts a liaison with Cynthia who is in a contract marriage with Olamide and now she is pregnant…

Book review:
Review by V Wiltshire
I hadn't heard of this author before but I'm glad I took a chance. I really enjoyed this. It's an intriguing story of love, marriage, heart-breaking longing for children and betrayal.
What inspired you to start
writing, and when?
I’ve
always written books in my head too lazy to put it to paper. So I settled for
poems and song writing until 2011 when I decided to write short stories, but
anything I wrote begged to be a full length novel and I’ll discard it. One day
a friend came back from holiday with a book on Creative Writing then I realised
that I had been on the right track but holding back.
What is your preferred genre?
I’m still
working on that. So far, I read everything except Paranormal and erotic novel
because I have an overactive imagination.
Where would you call home?
Well, I call anywhere I have friends and
family home. I do like company a lot so long as they aren’t intrusive.
How many books have you
written? If more than one, are any a series…or trilogy?
Three, (if
you add the one I’m presently working on). The first one is Twerking Cruxes and
a Cloaked Visage.
Tell us a little about your book.
It’s
about two old fashioned women and what they have to go through to protect their
marriage while they try to get pregnant. A story of love, marriage, betrayal
and friendship.
Do you have plans for a new book?
Yes, I’m
presently working on two novels. I want to join NaNoWriMo this July to see how
well I will fare.
Do you work to an
outline or plot or do you prefer just see where an idea takes you?
Is there an Author that you would
really like to meet?
Yes,
Maureen Jennings because I love Murdoch Mysteries.
Do you prefer ebooks, paperbacks
or hardcover?
Depends
on where I am. EBooks are convenient and unconventional. If I have my laptop
with me it will be an ebook but I love the feel of flipping through the pages
of paperback.
Where do you prefer to buy your
books?
Any place
so long as it’s easy to access. But I visit Amazon a lot.
Are you a self- published (Indie)
Author?
Yes, I
don’t think I would have been able to cope with waiting for a response from a
traditional publisher.
What books would you like to read
again?
The lion
and the jewel Wole Soyinka
The Lord
of the Rings J.R.R.Tolkien
Honor
among thieves Jeffrey Archer
Things
fall apart Chinua Achebe
What book are you currently
reading and in what format (ebook/paperback/hardcover)?
Wedding
hell by Jennifer Gilby Roberts in ebook format.
Do you have any advice for other writers
starting out? If you dream of it, you can achieve it and by God dream big!
Do you write under a pen name?
No, but I
was thinking of using one when I start writing for young adults.
Do you ever write in your PJ’s?
Yes.
If you were asked to get three
things from grocery shop what would they be?
Coca-Cola,
Biscuit
Calamari
How did you come up with the
title and cover design?
The name: Twerking Cruxes and a Cloaked Visage came only when the book
was at its final stage of publishing. But Something New occurred to me with the
idea of the story. I didn’t know of premade covers initially and had to change
the cover of my first book twice. It took weeks of browsing websites of premade
cover to get the one that caught the story.
How many hours per day do you try
to devote to research and writing?
A whole
day sometimes but an average of four hours, two or three times a week.
What are 3 things you never leave
home without (apart from keys, money and phone)?
Paper,
pencil and lip balm.
Sleep in or get up early?
Sleep in.
Laptop or desktop for writing?
No, paper
and pencil.
Your favorite gadget?
My
laptop.
Do you find yourself
intrigued by the cover of a book enough to buy it?
No.
From your experience, what are three important
elements to writing a novel and the most important for aspiring authors?
I’m still new in this but
I will say:
Consistent point of view
(POV);
Have a character or
characters that your readers would root for; &
Plot must be realistic
Where and when do you prefer to
do your writing?
I prefer
evenings or early in the morning. I’ll have to take a power nap before starting
and wait another hour for my eyes to be fully open.
One of your favorite quotes – There is a reason why your
assets are in front of you: it’s so you don’t look back.
List 3 of your favorite movies?
The Mummy;
Avatar;
Fast Five.
An actor you have a crush on -
Benedict
Cumberbatch
