Episode 412 | Farastein Mokwenye

Drinking With Authors

08-12-2023 • 54 mins

My name is Mokwenye Ehis Ndudi, but I have gone by the penname "Farastein Mokwenye" since my highschool days when I first discovered my passion for writing and storytelling. "Tales of Jideofor" is my debut novel, and was actually expanded from a short story of the same name that had won runner-up at the Goge Africa 20th Anniversary writing competition. I am actually an engineer and entrepreneur, and I had actually graduated in Chemical Engineering at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri. I am from Illah, where the protagonist of the story,  Jideofor is from; and in the novel, readers would meet the folktales and societal beliefs of my people, especially as they pertain to dreams, death, destiny and the afterlife.   Social Media Handles: https://instagram.com/farastein_eiheez?igshid=ZGUzMzM3NWJiOQ== https://twitter.com/Nwaoba_of_Illah?t=Okd_esM9tL_SVt5X-ifwiA&s=09 https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100077297964878&mibextid=ZbWKwL Amazon Author link page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Farastein-Mokwenye/author/B0B9R4K1DV?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true
