D.E.A.R CONTEST

I am immensely grateful for all the support, love and goodwill I have received since the Launch of The Spider’s Web on the 6th of June, 2015. I can’t begin to tell you all the wonderful things that happened; it will take a whole day, and then some more.

Now, we are engaging readers in a Book Contest.
DEAR FLYER

D.E.A.R (DROP EVERYTHING AND READ)

Purchase a copy of The Spider’s Web at a bookstore and have your pictures taken whilst reading in unusual ways or unusual places or in a costume. EASY!

  8. I think this contest is as cool as the book. One reason I will participate is because the book has a strong message to pass across. I think you have done justice to abuse. I support your cause, Dumebi. Keep up the good work. God bless you.
