Introducing Zuza and the Lost Princess
A few days after my story broke, I found it so overwhelming and I thought I had lost my way. A lot of people who were reading my blog were emailing me. One person emailed me during an hour I was at breaking point, I couldn’t see light at the end of the tunnel. As I was in despair, an email flashed on my phone, I opened it and it read something exactly like this:
“Jean, sometimes it gets bitter before it gets better. Sometimes it takes crisis to appreciate the crystals in our lives. Sometimes it takes the departure of everyone for us to realize it’s only God we need. Sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom to realize Christ is the rock at the bottom. Regardless of what's happening in your life, refuse to accept the belief that your life can't get any better. Believe that with God your bitter life can get better. Believe that your crises can crystallize into treasured gem & invaluable jewel. Your debilitating fear God can turn into ardent faith. Gather the pieces together & bring them to God in prayer. God specializes in turning broken pieces into breathtaking peace. He is the God of second chances. Believe in God’s transforming power. Yes you can smile again. "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
God bless you”
God bless you”
5 months ago when the ambulance was standing outside the Church at Wigan if someone had told me that by the end of the year I would have a book publishing contract, I would have not believed. If someone had told me back then that my dream of becoming an author was only footsteps away, I would not have believed. I don’t know how to take it. I don’t know what to say. Is this really happening to me? Am I really an author in the making? I am one of those people who have waited a lifetime for a moment like this. My dear readers, I have finally secured a publishing deal for my first book.
I did it. With God I did it. I never needed Daddy’s leftover food. I never needed a sweaty towel. I never needed a hug from a prophet. I just needed to believe that no mountain was too big for me to climb. Like Joseph I have always been a dreamer. One of my biggest dreams since I was 16 years was to be a fantasy writer. Dr Masocha had promised me that he would get my books published, but the promise was thrown out of the window and he chose to publish his book instead of mine. But I thank God that His timing is always perfect. God never wanted me to get my book published by the Prophet. He never wanted Agape or Dr Masocha to take the glory. God wanted to make me an author in my own right. One of my greatest inspirations in life has always been J K Rowling. She was living in poverty when she came up with the idea of Harry Potter. Today she her books are one of the most read series on the planet. She made it as an author in her own right. I may not sell books like JK Rowling, but my dream of just getting my fantasy books out there is good enough.
God so loved me, that He didn’t even want my publishing break to be about Dr Masocha or Agape. My first book has nothing to do with Agape, I will be an author in my own right. I am not coming out with a tell all autobiography about a certain cult called Agape. Nay. I am coming out with something that I have always been passionate about, Fantasy. My very own imagination coming to life. Of course I will still publish my autobiography HE WAS MY DADDY, but I am glad that my first book will have nothing to do with Agape, but everything to do with what will make me as a writer.
Its an action packed fantasy adventure with songs, poetry and a gripping storyline. From scary mermaids to talking giant spiders, from teenage romance to the fascinating world of ants, I hope my book will take you places you have never dreamt of. It’s a story of a young British boy and an African girl, a story of two young lovebirds who enter into another world to save a dying ancient Kingdom taken over by a wicked witch. It is fantasy as I know it, and in my over imaginative world, ZUZA AND THE LOST PRINCESS was born. I pray that my book will touch children, young adults and grown ups too. My three beautiful children inspired me to write ZUZA and they are already in love with the storyline and the characters.
I believe my story has a happy ending after all. After months of being mocked and cursed by Agape that I will never be an author, I finally got the book publishing deal I have been waiting for all my life. My first adventure series book Zuza and the Lost Princess will be out soon, and I will keep you posted on the release dates and launches to come. We serve a good and mightily God. He has prepared a table before me, in the presence of my enemies. I am now concentrating on my writing career, and I believe I am now just a footstep away from stepping into my destiny. When God has opened a door, no man can ever shut it, even a self proclaimed prophet like Dr Masocha does not hold the keys to anyone's destiny.
