Welcome, I'm C. M. OKONKWO 

I'm a French-Speaking Nigerian author, coach, editor, and reviewer who grew up in Lagos and moved to France to study, where I obtained three fantastic degrees. I currently practice HR as a profession, but writing is my passion, which is fuelled by my love for travel and tourism, where I pull experiences and merge them with my limitless imagination.​

​

My best genres are action-packed mystery, thriller, detective, and suspense, but my writing goal being diversity, I’ve also written erotica, romance, literary fiction, horror, science fiction, fantasy, and non-fiction. I’ve published 26 books so far, a few of which have been shortlisted for awards and also won prizes, including the Africa Book Club Short Story Competition (winner), the 50 Best Indie Books (two-time finalist), Quramo Writers’ Prize (two-time finalist), and Wattpad Short Story Contest (multiple-time winner).


I’m an active member of International Thriller Writers and PEN Nigeria, and the Secretary (2020 – 2022) of the Association of Nigerian Authors (Lagos Chapter). I’m the founder of Laybels UCL, a company that specialises in self-publishing literary works and birthed Blue Heels Production for short films and series, and Literarily Yours Book Club.
