A widow, Nannono is also a mother of two adorable sons and a daughter. She is a guardian for her two nieces.
A voracious reader, Nannono always dreamed of writing novels but that dream had not been realized until now. Nannono currently works and lives in Botswana with her family.
As a writer, I write about what I know and what is important to me in my community with the aim of changing it for the better. I grew up surrounded by strong women and I am a strong supporter of women empowerment. It reflects in the strong women characters that I create in my novels and short stories.
From last year , I have been honing my writing skills by writing short stories. Two of my short stories: Move Back To Move Forward and Buried Alive in the Hot Kalahari Sand were among the 52 stories from 14 countries that were published in the AFRICA BOOK CLUB ANTHOLOGY VOL1(2014) entitled: The Bundle of Joy and Other Stories From Africa and edited by Daniel Musiitwa.This anthology can be ordered from the Africa Book Club website. I am in the final stages of writing the manuscript for my second fiction novel. I continue to read widely to feed my writing career and just for the love of the written word.view less
