Author of Her Name Is Knight
Stolen from her Ghanaian village as a child, Nena Knight has plenty of motives to kill. Now an elite assassin for a powerful business syndicate called the Tribe, she gets plenty of chances. But while on assignment in Miami, Nena ends up saving a life, not taking one. She emerges from the experience a changed woman, finally hopeful for a life beyond rage and revenge. Tasked with killing a man she’s come to respect, Nena struggles to reconcile her loyalty to the Tribe with her new purpose and to ensure that the horrors done to her village in the past are never repeated again.
Favorite place to read a book: I'm huge on audio books now so favorite place to listen to them is when I'm cooking or driving.
Book character I’d like to be stuck in an elevator with: Evelyn Hugo from The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I find that character fascinating and was totally enraptured when reading it.
The moment I knew I wanted to become an author: I don't know about a moment, but the time frame was middle school.
Hardback, paperback, ebook or audiobook: Audiobook all the way. Having it read to me is very soothing and I can slip away in the story.
The last book I read: These Toxic Things by Rachel Howzell Hall
Pen & paper or computer: Both. It depends on my mood at the moment. Pen and paper for hits of inspiration or when I want to go down a deep creative hole. Computer when I want to get a bunch of words down fast
If I weren’t an author, I’d be a: I'd continue to work in education in some capacity.
Favorite decade in fashion history: I like the fashion today. But I also really love the fashion of the 50's and 60's. There's just something about those dresses the women wore.
Place I’d most like to travel: All of Europe and Dubai. I'd go anywhere to be honest because I like to see everything.
My signature drink: A chocolate caramel milkshake. Don't judge me.
Favorite artist: I don't know that I have one.
Number one on my bucket list: To travel through Europe.
