Timendu Aghahowa has been a voracious reader since she was four years old and started writing professionally after a very short stint in stockbroking.
She was a participant of the 2013 Farafina Trust Creative Writing Workshop. Her short stories have been published in elevenelevenjournal.com, jsardent.com, and in the anthologies, A Handful of Dust and Pepper Soup.
She has been a screenwriter for the past decade with writing and script editor credits on many popular Africa Magic shows and was most recently nominated for an AMVCA award for Best Writing as Co-Head Writer for ‘Masquerades of Aniedo’ and is currently the Head Writer for the telenovela ‘Omera’.
Timendu loves cake, brightly coloured hair, listening to music and constantly courts financial ruin with her book buying habit. She lives in Lagos with her husband and two children.
The Bishop’s Prodigal Daughter is her first novel.
