About Nora

Akpoebi Nora Ojeke has always loved writing since her childhood days, as she has been blessed with a vivid imagination. She would spend a lot of time reading a whole range of genres, from romance to thrillers, and started out writing as a hobby. She recalls sharing her finished handwritten manuscripts with her classmates in primary school and later secondary school. They always looked forward to her stories and would ask for sequels, prompting her to write more.

She joined the writing club in her senior secondary school days and was excited to see people jostling around in a bid to read her short comedic stories that were pinned on the school writing board. Over the years, she had written over ten unpublished manuscripts ranging from romance and adventure to thrillers, and has retained her handwritten letters to the then major traditional publishing houses querying them to publish one of her books. None of those letters were ever mailed out (yes, we used post offices at the time) as she had to focus on other things, such as earning her first degree in chemical/petrochemical engineering from the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt, Nigeria, and later her master’s in petroleum engineering from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland.
