About Me
Meet Emuakpor
A Little about me
I Was Born And Raised In Nigeria, W. Africa, And Moved To The US As A Teenager. My Alter Ego Is A Veterinarian, A Mother Of Four, And A Grandmother Of Three. For The Most Part, My Writing Draws Upon The Spiritual Beliefs, Cultures, And Oral Traditions Of My Native Land. My Writing Has Appeared In Short Story Anthologies, Including AfroMyth: A Fantasy Collection.
Surprisingly, I really didn’t choose to become a writer; I chose to become a veterinarian. Writing pretty much just happened. Since I was a child, I had always written fantasy stories (I distinctly remember drawing the stories before I learned how to spell). Granted, most of what I wrote prior to Queen of Zazzau was not fit for public consumption, but once Amina of Zazzau chose me to tell her story, I began learning the art of novel-writing. And here we are.
