Blunted on Reality by Chinedu Achebe

Check out the new book "Blunted on Reality" from Chinedu W. Achebe. Blunted on Reality follows the life of Obi Ifeanyi, a Nigerian born American who is coming of age after the historic election of Barack Obama. As Obi confronts challenges that impact his family, career, and romantic interests, he is forced to examine his past and present choices to define his future.

Chinedu W. Achebe is a Nigerian American born in Richmond, Virginia. He got his bachelor's degree in Economics from the University of Houston and currently resides in Houston, TX, where he works in the accounting/finance industry. 

Chinedu hopes to use his work as a platform to discuss how life is about choices and how everything isn't always black and white.  He wanted to give an African perspective to the Obama era, by creating a story where first generation Africans living in America and their parents  discuss what they think about Obama, and what they feel he can or can't do for the continent of Africa.

He aspires to continue to create stories that deal with social and political issues as they play out in the everyday lives of people.
