The raging fury of the Nigerian Civil War dubbed the Biafran war mellowed over time but dastardly acts resonated across the war zones as time effluxed. Grief and mourning replaced the afore felt anger and hatred while painful reminiscences saw wreaths being laid in honor of departed comrades. Some were of flowers, others were of blood, flesh, bone and brain matter; Macabre, don't you agree?

Autorenporträt
Chuka Ken Okonkwo was born in Warri, Delta State and hails from Obosi in Anambra State, Nigeria. His father was a police man and being subject to frequent transfers, they traversed the southern parts of Nigeria until after the civil war. This enabled him to pick up some of the multiple languages spoken and experience the various cultures first-hand. He went through school and chose the banking career, working for about fifteen years for one of the most prominent banks in the country as an inspector, before branching off into the private sector and establishing one of the longest lasting Finance companies in the eastern part of Nigeria. Chuka was at the helm of affairs of his Finance Company for about 20 years before retiring, but continues to serve on the board. He was always introspective and communicated better in writing, and thus developed the habits of writing out his thoughts, imaginations and stories. Recalling facts of the civil war, Chuka birthed ' the dark days series'- historical fiction reminiscent of the war in Nigeria. In 2007, He produced a short non-fiction narrative titled 'second chance'. The Fictional trilogy titled 'Biafrana 1, 2 & 3' followed in succeeding years, depicting post-civil war Nigeria. Chuka is happily married to his heartthrob and blessed with four children. He presently resides in New York and spends the majority of his time involved in his various charities, with his grandchildren and writing to his heart's content.
