I'm Bernard - the dude at the top looking all strange. 

I'm a Children's Book Author by night and a Software Engineering Manager by day.

I'm also Ghanaian, a dad to two rambunctious little boys, AND I have a pretty wild imagination. Probably because I never grew up myself - sometimes I feel like a little kid with a mustache!

I grew up in Ghana playing "Police and Thief" and Pilolo. I climbed mango trees that didn't belong to me, and I fished in pouring rain in rivers that overflowed their banks.

When I wasn't up to mischief, I would have my head stuck in a book! More than once, my Dad had to visit the library multiple times because I would finish books so quickly.

 

Some of my absolute favorites growing up were Goosebumps, Famous Five, and Redwall.

Are you still here?!

I live in the UK, in a tiny village called Belper, surrounded by lush green countryside.
