Mercy Ngozi Alu - Guest Author (Halima)
Our author interview today is with Mercy Ngozi Alu, and her first book is Halima.
Tell us about yourself: I come from Afikpo, in Ebonyi State of Nigeria. My local Afikpo (Ehugbo) name, is Ogerigwogo, which can be translated Ogechukwu(God's time is the best). The original word means lady of song or composition and dance. I believe naturally, I am meant to be creative and full of ideas. My father was, and still is a professor, and I must say, he instilled some discipline in me.

Is There Anything Like Caring Too Much In Your Relationship?
CARE (meaning): Close attention; concern; responsibility; worry; upkeep.
When we care about each other in a relationship, we pay close attention to our partners, their emotions, their thoughts and their moods, which is nothing if not very normal. If we decide to rate the caring we give to our partners on a scale of 0-10, some people will rate at 8, some at 6, 4 gets my eyes rolling and 2 is evidently deficient but when we rate 12/10, should the partner remove their slippers, pick them up and run?
