“Good morning today Good morning whichever day Are you ready to end the week, or Are you ready to start the weekend? The days correlate one after the other The news duplicate from one country to the other Number of people infected with the virus, to Number of people we lost to the virus, to Number of people suffering from the virus, to Number of people who survived the virus… Are we becoming a number, Do we still have an identity?
My heart is aching Aching for a paused life A life we learned to value A company we learned to cherish A hug, a kiss, a hand to hold
My heart is aching Missing getting dressed to work in an office Missing putting lipstick and not smudging it under the mask Missing shaking guests’ hands Missing… your smile
My heart is aching Aching for those exiting this world alone Aching for those isolated with the virus alone Aching for those no one can near Without protective clothing, masks, gloves, and shield My heart is aching, for you my dear”
My heart is aching Aching for the frontline health workers Aching for YOU, those transporting the VIRUS Aching for YOU, those caring for the VIRUS Aching for YOU, those treating the VIRUS The VIRUS, my heart stands by you dear patient You might be lonely, and physically alone, but hope you hear WE STAND BY YOU, KEEP HOPE FLOATING, FIGHT, FIGHT FIGHT As for YOU frontline health workers, YOU ARE MY HEROES! God bless you all and your loved ones! Keep safe, Keep distance, Keep sane! #MOI

SYNOPSIS OF FEMININE SHADES BY TRACEY CHIZOBA FLETCHER
The first story, “Rising from Ashes”, portrays Nneka’s journey to empowerment. Having come from an impoverished background, without any support from her father, she leaves her father’s house with her mother, who can no longer withstand domestic violence, and arrives in her grandfather’s house. Her grandfather marries her off to an older man, Agwu, who treats her like a slave. In a fit of rage, she accidentally kills Agwu, and is left at the mercy of the justice system. However, a non-governmental organization come to her rescue, and plead her case. The organization provide shelter and support, and Nneka is able to develop the strength and courage to visit her past in order to find healing and closure, and move a step ahead by training to become to a software developer.
The protagonist in “Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown” is Maureen. She is a career-woman, wife, and mother. She however struggles to find her self-worth, as her capabilities are questioned after giving birth to her first child; in her home as a wife and mother, and in her office when she returns after maternity leave. She battles with her emotions, until she comes to an understanding that only a queen can have battles, and fight to overcome them.
The protagonist in “E go Beta!” is Mama Ekene, a widow, who lost her husband when her children where very young. Now in her 50’s, she tries to keep hope alive, and seeks a better tomorrow in the midst of hardships faced by herself and her children.
Ezinne in “On the 28th” is an undergraduate, studying to become a microbiologist. She derails when the three high class ladies in her department, befriend her, and introduce her to a billionaire. She finds herself lost in his seduction, and doesn’t realize the trap he has set, until he deflowers her, and becomes incommunicado. The fact that she could be pregnant, brings her to her knees. It’s a long road to placing her feet back on the ground, as she painfully waits for her period to show its face again.
“Yellow Pawpaw” walks us through the life of Nkem, a depressed spinster, who decides to bleach her skin, in order to gain attention from the opposite sex, in her bid to find a husband. Her new endeavour leaves her almost penniless, with her business failing, and her skin getting damaged due to the harsh chemicals she uses, even as her plan to be married doesn’t seem successful. A neighbor comes to her aid, to help her rediscover and love herself again.
“My Doppelganger” features two female characters: Amaka, a Nigerian girl, and Debbie, an Amercan, as they wade through 14 years of friendship, to overcome societal and racial differences, to become bbf’s; and work together to achieve their dream of becoming lawyers, and owning their free legal advice clinic.
“Ada” is the story of Ada, the first female child of the Obi’s, as she lives up to her responsibilities, shouldering and taking care of her parents and siblings. She is rewarded with a good marriage, and a husband, willing to reward her for all the sacrifices she has made.
Word from the heart to the reader:
Feminine Shades is a collection of seven short stories central to the female gender, depicting the inward strength and courage of the female protagonists.
Each story has a message both for the male and female gender. It’s time for the silent voices of the women folk to be heard. It’s time for the men in our lives to really “SEE” what we endure on a daily basis. It’s time for a woman to be respected, supported, and loved. It’s time for a change!

About the Author: A bit about myself: Born in Singapore, I started to be interested in writing when I first got hold of books during Primary school, and from there on, I have many creative ideas that I wanted to pen down and let others read because I really want my work to inspire people to have their own creative ideas and perhaps even write interesting books. When I write, I want to tell a story, and also I do want more people to delve into books because I feel that books are really something that we can enjoy and take us away from this world and into another. Science fiction is one way to do so.
Book Synopsis: Humanity has reached the stars without our own acknowledgement. Centuries of humanity in the coast of the stars paved for civilization greater than ours. Now amidst the Second World War, these humans have returned once more to reclaim their glory. But humanity would not surrender — Resistance is established by a group known as the Mensheviks. They are working to protect humanity from destruction, even from within…
What would you like to say to the readers, a word from the heart: When you are writing, you must take into consideration that you are writing for yourself, for your own happiness and not for the sake of others. I believe in artistic independence and integrity. Throughout the centuries, the man that has taken the step forward to innovative equipped nothing but his own vision. The great creators of our time – the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors, they all stood alone against the men of their time, society, their communities. Every great new thought and new invention was opposed. His truth was his only motive. His own truth, and his own work to achieve it in his own way. I am the Howard Roark of Literature and I standby the thought of man’s pursuit for what he wants to achieve, wanting men, in my case me to write what I want to write and to produce that work that I feel is right not to serve anyone else or society but to allow human progress. The reason why I write this novel is that I wanted to express myself and the changing world that is occurring around me, each episode that I live through and the experiences that I have seen boils to formulate this story as a philosophical debate but set in a fictional realm that is different to ours. A writer must refuse to compromise with many publishing houses that are unwilling to accept innovation and in that he finds himself alone just like I do when I feel that is right and not based on what others want of me. It is in a way to encourage others to write to their hearts and produce solid work that would be the pinnacle representation of human endeavours.

“Divorce… When nothing else matters, we feel angry, numb, devastated, weak, enraged, deceived, raped, and much more! The two extremes of feelings between relief, and knowing what we want, fear, and wondering whether we have exhausted every possibility to continue, will eventually lead to one phase, the emotional shock.
Not matter how long we wanted this freedom, what we ignore, and what no one ever told us, is that we are entering a dark tunnel of grief where we are mourning our self and life! The betrayal by the person that promised us happiness, that promised to stand by us, that promised to love us unconditionally, and be there for us, that betrayal and unfulfillment of promises, not only lead to divorce but as well to us standing midway, mid-life, mid-stage, and wondering… forget the enraged phase when and where we vent out aloud, I was mistreated; listen deep to the questions: What did I do wrong? Am I not worthy of love? Was it me? and the most important question: Will I ever trust again? Dear partners, It is tough, but I promise you one thing, no one can stand for you, speak for you, and be you; the time will come when you would need to stand on your own feet, in your own shoes, and wipe your own tears; you can do it, I did!
Friends & Readers… I am a woman but this applies to men as well!”
#MOI the moment when my life stood still… am I over it?!

*Mommy, I am a PACER! Book by #MOI because I believe that children are the future, the change…
“When I decided the end, I was actually planning a new beginning!
It is sad that girls at a young age, when they imagine the future, it is partly about love, the proposal, the wedding, the flowers… they dream, and at times, they plan… As I recall, I barely had that dream, I wanted to make someone of myself, I wanted a big family, I wanted to cook, I wanted to be the factory providing the beautiful product, I wanted to be a journalist, I wanted to tell the story! All I did, back then, was write. At school, I wrote; at bedtime, I wrote in my diary; and my outings were writing at the beach…
So why I started with the statement, it is sad, because it is important to know at a young age, and it is important to tell our young girls, that, one day, when they stand at that crossroad, to decide on the future, the focus of the wedding, is rather the marriage, how to work on the unity, how to overcome obstacles, how to get used to live the couple successfully, and make a WE that was once an I, and how most importantly it is to invest in that wedding picture while making a home of the dream house!
Crossroads, we face them many times in life; with people, places, jobs, and state of mind… what matters is how we deal with them and perceive change. Well, a topic deep at the heart of every step in our life, widely and honestly discussed heart to heart in my novel-biography Where is My Angel?”
