About the Author

Michael Senteza Bagampangye was born in Kampala, the capital city of the east African country of Uganda. He lived in Kampala and Mbarara, a southwestern district, where he studied from primary school to his secondary school at Mbarara High School, a famous missionary boys’ school, after which he moved to Kampala at sixteen years of age. He lived in Kampala up to when he was twenty-five years of age. Then he moved to England for a holiday trip, which turned out to be a permanent change of residence. He was interested in writing from an early age and always hoped to become a published writer. For years, the thought of that desired paradise was lurking at the back of his mind. To improve his writing skills, he went to London Metropolitan University, where he graduated with honors with a joint degree in mass communications (journalism) and English literature. After graduation and jobs in the commercial field, a hospital, and student radio, he turned back to his passion—writing. This is his first novel, and he looks forward to writing more and establishing himself as a writer of quality and renown, something that he is passionate about. He now invites you to follow him on this precarious journey in search of that elusive paradise.
