Tonye Porbeni Adenusi has been in love with storytelling for as long as she can remember. A voracious reader, she started writing short stories in her teens, and continues to write poems and other short stories. Her poem ‘I knew you’ was made into an experimental short film ‘I know you’ (https://vimeo.com/81889920).

Having grown up in Port Harcourt, Nigeria with her face stuck in a book half the time, Tonye now lives in Essex with her husband and four children. A self-confessed multipotentialite, when not writing bestselling novels (why not?), Tonye is a Management Consultant who enjoys reading, baking, drumming and hanging out with her kids.
