In 2018, with just the first draft of THE ROAD TO THE COUNTRY, I found myself in a Benue Links wagon traveling from Makurdi to Jos beside a soldier fighting Boko Haram in the Sambissa forest. My questions to him triggers intense emotions that escalated and became dangerous.

In 2018, while working on my forthcoming novel, THE ROAD TO THE COUNTRY, I made the dangerous mistake of asking an active duty soldier about the experience of fighting boko haram insurgents. That experience would reshape my novel and life.
