Flattery

By Kelvin Eloho

Flattery, he moves across kingdoms gracefully and with a smile crumbling fortified walls, medieval castles; seducing maidens. He's rock down the towers of the east, taken freely the maidens of the west and has broken the queens southward. He lay siege  at your walls, day and night and his strategy, words. The euphony of his voice, gracious and silk. Till you open your gates or drop down security on your walls for just whispers from his honeycomb. Then he takes for ruin your city and leaves no spoil.
He is canny in the aspect of war and he loses no soldiers.
When he comes, chew his words but do not swallow. Take gusto the savor of the gum but do not swallow. Don't let it have a dessert of you, spit it out. Enjoy the moment well aware it doesn't last.

You cannot be finished. You're beautiful, you're wise, you're a unique mold. They'll try to redefine you but know who you are. You're his love, th...

Review of Children of Blood and Bone

By Kelvin Eloho
Reading Children of Blood & bone . The narrative & descriptions felt so real. Whenever I got lost in a fantasy world of panthenaires, lionaires, maji, kosidans and magic I never wanted leave. Those moments felt like I lived the fiction & I wanted no escape. "Kwame brushes past me, running for the heart of the battle. He grips a dagger tight in his hands. Then he slashes open his palm. Blood magic. Horror settles into my bones. It’s like the world slows to a stop, stretching the seconds between this moment and the last Kwame will ever have. His blood glows with a white light, splashing as it hits the ground. In an instant the ivory light surrounds him, illuminating his dark skin like a god from above. When it reaches the top of his head, it seals his fate. A fire explodes from his skin. Smoldering embers rain from his body. Flames blaze around his form. The fire erupts from every limb, shooting out of his mouth, his arms, his legs. The blast towers meter...
