In celebration of African History and Liberation join author Shania Sanderson for a look into her new book Always Expect the Unexpected.

About the book:

Nekia had everything she ever dreamed of, the typical falling in love and marrying the man of her dreams, a beautiful baby girl and closely knit loving family. Nothing could go wrong, or so she thought. Twisted fate and bitter luck was about to turn her world upside down and take her through a series of unfortunate events. Will she be able to overcome the unexpected incidents that are waiting for her just over the horizon? Take a journey through this elaborately written book of short stories to get a taste of love, suspense, mystery, drama, and a minimum amount of horror in Always Expect the Unexpected.

About the Author:

Shania Shenekia Sanderson was born in the parish of St. Elizabeth Jamaica and raised in the Parish of Manchester. Though her career path led her to Nursing, Shania has been writing short stories and poems since the age of 13.  Her unique style of composing creative pieces will leave every reader searching for more.
