ABOUT
Hi!
I'm Nekesa. I'm a millennial who is just trying her best.
I'm Canadian, born in Calgary but now I reside in Toronto, Ontario. I've completed a bachelor in Journalism, a certificate in Publishing, and doing that took about a decade. I do like to learn, however, and in my year off between my bachelor and certificate, I tackled sewing and swing dancing. I'm constantly trying to learn everything, but there's not enough time in the day. If I'm not doing one of those things, I'm probably reading.
I'm obsessed with history, with special attention to the golden age of Hollywood (along with just before and after), and the prohibition era.
Oh, also, I am a mystery author. The entire concept is new to me, but my debut hits shelves summer 2021.
