In my previous post dated December 17th, 2023, I mentioned that I revisited two of my early stories that I wrote a long time ago. Upon further reflection on the second project, I decided to include illustrations to accompany the text of this second book.
I put in a diligent effort to complete all the drawings for this new book, which I have titled AKOKIT. Please note that it is written in Creole. I will explain why I love writing in Creole at a later time. Similar to the first story, this one takes place in the Caribbean, but it focuses on the life of an older man who has a passion for cockfighting and is willing to risk everything to make himself and his rooster, Usiyus, champions in the cockfighting arena.
The release date for AKOKIT and ON PANGA BA ÉYADUA has been rescheduled for January 30th, 2024.

An English and a French version of AKOKIT, as well as ON PANGA BA ÉYADUA, will be available sometime in 2024.
