This inspirational but ridiculous story takes place in the home of a factory owner who is rolling in money and wants to give some of it (Ksh 10,000,000) to the son of his former business associate. The only stipulation is that the young man must be his father’s sole heir.

Unsure of the son’s whereabouts, he places an advertisement in a number of local newspapers. Almost immediately, an heir appears accompanied by a crafty fellow.
Soon after, others pop out from all corners to join in claiming the prize money and even his beautiful daughter! A series of mistaken identities ensue resulting in an unexpected twists and turns finally erupting into chaos.

Dangerous Affairs is a fast moving and rip-roaring farce highly recommended.

About
We Will Rock You’ is a futuristic tale which tells of a massive corporation, Globalsoft, which sends computer generated music to all of the people on the planet.
Singing, musical instruments, and any expression of creativity, are banned. But Lost Texts are known to exist which talk of music from years gone by. A group of rebels (the Bohemians) strive to discover the lost music, and bring down the corporation.
The two heroes, Galileo and Scaramouche, discover musical instruments buried in rock, which they use to vaporise the head of the corporation (The Killer Queen), and send the Power Of Rock around the world to free the masses, enabling them to be musically creative once again.

About “Silence is a Woman”

I have seen that if I want to write in such a way that I eject people out of their slumber, I must go where I am afraid to go. That is where the gold lies. That thing that I am afraid to face, that thing that has me triggered, spinning, pissed off, embarrassed, feeling humiliated, all those emotions that keep me SAFE that is where the gold lies.
