Kpesse Koffi Kouma is my name. I was born on September 25, 1970 in Lome, the capital of Togo. I am married to a lovely wife with three children, a son and two daughters. I, together with my lovely pet, a dog by name Rocotipulletoh live in Accra Ghana.
Unlike many others, I grew up in the capital of Togo and chose to study languages. This burning desire made me enroll in The Institute For Research Of West Africa in Cultures and Economics where I obtained an A-Level Certificate in both German and English language in 1995 at the Volta Region of Ghana.
I then migrated to Accra Ghana where I studied a tour guiding course and obtained the Basic Level Certificate in Tour Guiding in 1999. I later continued my education at Vision Campus where I obtained a Diploma in The Management of Travel and Tour Operations in 2001.
With my interest and strong passion for literature, I then enrolled with one of the most prestigious college of journalism in the UK and studied Writing via distance learning.
After my many learning escapades, I then began to gather some experience through a hands-on practical work by first working as a Tour Guide, Translator interpreter for a reputable Tour Company in Accra, traveling from Ghana to Benin via Togo my home country for sometimes.
Currently, I am the Assistant Head of a private institution in Accra. Beside this job, I also work on a part time basis as a Researcher on Culture, Religion and Development.
In fact, currently most people know me as the "author". My career as a writer began way back when I was 12 years. By that age, I had written over three hundred songs(300) to my credit of which I composed myself out of which five were recorded in the capital, Lome two years later.
My early dream to become a popular rock and roll star suddenly dwindled and hit the rock so to speak because my parents had rather wish I study hard to become a doctor. A dream which was not to be because my parents forgot that they were not in the financial capacity to foot my fees because our bed was just not a bed of roses neither was I born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
Having had my dream of becoming a musician halted, many were those who taught my life was never to be because they assume all I could do is but sing. Little did they know that what I was really mean to be was hidden within me. My dream did not die away as many supposed, instead it grew within me because I possess abundant talent bestowed upon my by God. By His grace, I manage to write my first novel in French a year.
Over the years, I pursued my writing dream and worked on several book genres such as Fiction thrillers, Western, Mysteries, Ghost adventures and Science Fiction stories till date. Today, I am on my way to publishing my first novel entitled ("Missionaries") a book which comes in two volumes with Raider Publishing in the United States. This story is a sensational thrilling Western for both adults and young ones and no doubt going to be a best seller since it written in English in order to get a wider audience.
My second book, which is entitled, "Princess Barbara" another sensational horror story will be ready for publication soon. This title is to be published solely on commission. With my books, I sure know I am a talent the world is worth to discover.
