James E. Mutumba

I am an inspirational writer, editor, author and novelist
I was born and raised in Uganda. I loved reading story books from primary school. In secondary school, Charles Dickens’ books like Oliver Twist and The Great Expectations raised my reading interest higher. The African Writers Series (Story Teller Chinua Achebe’s books, for mention) came next, followed by other novels. Along with story books, I have read quite a lot of history and Christian stuff.
If my interest in reading was not enough to make me a writer, then, I must say my education in communication arts and in theology completed the motivation I needed. I once worked as director of the Church of Uganda’s Centenary Publishing House and as editor of a periodical, The New Century.
I have published three books, including my latest and debut novel The Fall and Rise of Lukiya’s Lover @ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E6O0F74 which has perspectives of love, courtship and women’s heroism.
Apart from reading and writing, I am interested in family, pastoral counseling and monitoring current affairs. I am happily married to Elizabeth and we have five children and three grand children. The drive of my writing is to inspire my readers to aim at a meaningful and victorious living.
