Diversify Your SteamPunk Day 5: Welcome Back Balogun Ojetade!

During our month of highlighting diversity back in December of 2013, we introduced our audience to Balogun Ojetade for the first time. Clearly with his followong he doesnt need to be introduced, but we couldnt think of a more deserving candidate to end our first week of Diversifying our Steampunk.
1. You've been here before, so while we don't require an introduction, our new followers do! What can you tell us about yourself the person, the author and the steampunk innovator?

My name is Balogun Ojetade. Although my name  is Yoruba, I am descended from the Ateke people of Gabon and the Seminole Nation of the Southeastern United States. I am a husband, father of eight children – seven girls and one boy – and I am also a grandfather twice over.

I am author of six novels, one non-fiction book, several articles and short stories I wrote are in anthologies and magazines and I am contributing co-editor of two anthologies. I am also a filmmaker and fight choreographer and I have created two short films and two feature films and choreographed three films, thus far.

Blogoversary Celebration Day 2: Interview with the lovely Italian book blogger of Offbeat YA +15.00 amazon gift card giveaway

As you know the world wide web makes the blogoverse seem so small!

We're able to connect with other all over the globe.While we @Twinja Book Reviews follow many "International" book blogs, our favorite to date is a blogger by the name of Roberta, who blogs @ Offbeat YA. Other than being from the beautiful "Italia",what's cool about her book blog is that she seems to have an insane, unhealthy obsession with Christopher Pike and makes a conscious effort yo review books outside of the "mainstream"realm. 

It's refreshing to read a blog that reviews books that aren't so popular. Some book blogs tend to look the same after a while, so this is why we chose to highlight Roberta for our Blogoversary celebration! Sit back and get to know this lovely Italian blogger!
