Welcome to Stella
Eromonsere-Ajanaku
Let's get to know Stella: I was born and raised in a lovely bustling place in South West Nigeria called Benin City, but I live in London, United Kingdom. I’m second in a family of six. I have a B.Sc in Microbiology and an EMBA.
I love and enjoy writing romance novels that are a fine blend of intense sensual romance, intrigue and conflict. My characters are larger-than-life, feisty and have heart and soul. The story lines are detailed with heart-stopping romantic twists that come alive.
In 2010, I created Flirty & Feisty Romance Novel. My collection of contemporary romance novels includes, LOITERING SHADOWS, STORMY DEFENSE, BEYOND the LADY, the National Novel Writing Month 2010 winning novel, THE GARDENER’s ICE MAIDEN, SPARKLING DAWN, HUSBAND to RENT and the first novella and series - STOLEN VALENTINE KISS (Holiday Series #1).
I’m currently working on my first Nigerian Historical Romance. It's a series of three books set in Ancient Benin City. The three titles are set in three eras, the 18th, 19th & 20th Century respectively.
I'm thrilled for the opportunity to research my ancestors of the ancient Benin Empire. I'm keen to throw in the reign of Oba Ovoranmwen Nogbaisi (1888 – 1914) who was exiled to Calabar in 1897 by the British. I'm determined to bring the bustling Benin Empire to my readers.
I take care of my handsome, life-size hero of a husband who keeps my romantic wheels oiled and my two vibrant & loving ‘near teenagers’. When I'm not neck deep in writing and loving my family, I love to read romance novels, swim and watch TV, including Nollywood.
Kiss My Lips
Will one kiss seal their love?
A little blurb from Kiss My Lips: Accepting Logan’s marriage proposal was the most
exciting event of Lorna’s life. But deciding in what country to marry her
fiancĂ© proved to be more than a tearful ordeal. When Lorna’s dad announced
unexpected news, the wedding wheels spun in a different direction.
With other family members stirring conflict, would
there be a wedding? Or would their shared kiss deepen their desire?
And a nice excerpt from Kiss My Lips:
The dining table was already
set with auntie’s orchard crockery.
At first, her father nodded
in understanding. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw him approach from the
opposite end of the dining table. "I travelled across the Atlantic to
speak with my daughter who is getting married to a man I haven't met, at a
venue I don't know about," he all but shouted.
Bile rose to her throat. “Oh,
my wedding venue is suddenly a bother to you, dear dad?”
He lifted his hands and swore
under his breath. “Your aunt mentioned you had fancy ideas about getting
married here in Jersey City. Let me tell you upfront, that’s impossible. As
your father, I say you’ll get married in Nigeria, in Owerri where the entire
Ibe clan holds sway. That’s the way it is done.”
Her fingers strained against
the table knife she picked up as her father ranted. “Give me one reason why you
think you should have a say on where I get married.” Her father glared at her
as if she was mad.
“What kind of a stupid
question is that? You’re my daughter and that’s why you do as you’re told. Or
do you want the man and his family to think you fell from the sky? He should
know where you hail from.”
“Lorna, please put that knife
down,” her aunt warned. Lorna looked at the weapon in her clenched fist. She
hadn’t realized she was pointing it in her dad’s direction.
“I have no intention
whatsoever to oblige your wish. I’ll not travel to Nigeria to get married.
That’s out of the question.” Fury turned her voice icy.
Her aunt cleared her throat
to stop her brother from replying. “Lorna, if you rule out Nigeria because you
have no friends there, what about tying the knot in London?” Then she faced to
her brother. “If travelling to Nigeria sounds a bit far-fetched, why don’t you
have the wedding in London where Lorna grew up? If we decide on having it in
London, we have a middle ground.”
“I see both of you have
conspired to deny me the joy of giving out my only child in front of my family
and the elders in the village. No child of mine is getting married in London or
America. I’ll not be a party to it.”

Stella, you are feisty like the characters you create. What a fascinating life you have had ... are having ... and what a joy to combine a technical and scientific career with romance writing.

Hi, Florence and thank you for welcoming Stella today!
I love the idea of writing about your ancestors in the different eras. Best wishes with your book launch!
"Flirty & Feisty" -- that's a clever and catchy brand. Best wishes with your series.
Thank you so much, J Q. Indeed, I published Royal Cowries (Cowries Series Book 1) and His Choice (Cowries Series Book 2) in 2015 and 2016 respectively.
It was a real delight to publish the books I had worked on for so long.
Have a wonderful week.
Thank you a lot for the compliment, Angela.
I have now published 21 novels under my Flirty & Feisty Romance Novels brand. It has been an amazing experience, thank God.
