About
The AUTHOR

JOSEPH OLUMIDE ADEGBOYEGA-EDUN was born in Lagos, the then-capital city of Nigeria.  A great-grandson of  the First-Secretary of the Egba United Government, he was brought to the United States at age two when his parents came to study. Increasing corruption in the Nigerian government followed by the return of military rule thwarted their plans to move back and America became home. They set roots in Brooklyn, New York, a vibrant environment colored with graffiti and steeped in elements of hip-hop that left an indelible mark on the future author's consciousness.   

 

The cultural influences and experiences of his homeland and the city of his early youth have been a strong source of creative inspiration for the author. Trazer: Kids of Stolen Tomorrow is his debut novel, and the first entry in the Trazer Series. When not writing, Joe enjoys working on other projects with his creative partners  LenStorm, 7Woundz and Soundz, and exploring the breathtaking wilderness of the Chesapeake.

PRAISE FOR TRAZER: KIDS OF STOLEN TOMORROW

"Adegboyega-Edun's first novel is a brilliant work of Afrofuturism: richly imagined, well plotted, and peopled with vivid characters . . . combines sf, orisha, and complexly drawn African teens in a stunning new work."

-Zara Rix, Booklist (The American Library Association)
