Congratulations to Rogba Payne & Wole Talabi, finalists for the Aldiss Award, a new prize for world-building in speculative fiction! Speculative fiction is rising. African storytelling has been there all along ✨ #AfricanLiterature #NigerianWriters brittlepaper.com/2025/09/nigeri…

What an honour to be shortlisted alongside such incredible writers!

Thrilled to be continuing @RogbaPayne’s take on epic fantasy. The Dance of Shadows - is still severely underhyped. If you want a break from the more prevalent western mythological takes on fantasy, please try it. Also, how much do these covers slap? @Shutabug did a great job.
