From the streets of Lagos to the catwalks of Milan, she stitched her name into ambition, beauty, and power—until fame demanded its price. Jabari was born with nothing but talent, beauty, and a dangerous determination to never be poor again. Reinventing herself as Madam Sazzar, she claws her way into the glamorous world of fashion, where charm opens doors and love is just another negotiation. But beneath the diamonds and designer heels lies a truth she can’t silence: the past still watches her, the future isn’t guaranteed, and no amount of fame can fill what ambition leaves behind. Then she meets Gino—a powerful man with secrets of his own. Is he her way up… or the one person who sees through the façade? How far would you go to rewrite your story? And who would you leave behind to become unforgettable? If you were captivated by Americanah, The Devil Wears Prada, or Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo… buy DIVA now and step into the world where glamour is power—and everything has a price. “ Sumptuous, breathless, and unapologetically aspirational, DIVA is a page-turner about self-creation and the cost of living life in the fast lane.

My mother and father were working class parents and I had a mainstream education. I finished school and my art teacher wanted me to go to art college but I started a five-year apprenticeship in plumbing and central heating and passed all my exams. I left after five years and went self employed installing gas central heating into existing homes and replacing older boilers. I had a busy life and worked long hours so I never had time for leisure and reading books although I should have taken the opportunity to read. I never ever thought about writing a book but did later in life but never published anything I had written as they were a long way off finished and never revisited them again. I started writing books again with a view to publishing them after the pandemic (Covid), it had given me a new lease of life to start writing again but this time not to just write a manuscript but to write it and publish it. I seem to have been born with a gift of a creative mind and photographic memory, the books I write just seem to flow out my head as I am writing them. I seem to be able to write in any genre including fiction of course. I consider myself lucky as I have never read any fiction books. I find I do not affiliate my writing with any other author and do not mimic the style of any. I do my best to make a book exciting to read and entertaining for the reader. I am currently writing three more books. I have four books curre
