Gridiron Follies is a short story collection consisting of two stories both centered around the sport of Football.
Fame looks at the life of a star athlete who rises from grass to grace, only to tumble back down to earth drastically. The story is told from the perspective of Fame, who has been personalized in this story to offer a unique perspective on what goes on in the lives of star Athletes.
The Beast is the story of star running back Rahim Jenkins who in other to stay on top and keep up with his very lavish lifestyle, makes a life changing deal with the devil, which eventually proves too costly for him. The story is actually a metaphor of life, on the sometimes illegal activities athletes make to keep up with the game.

M Koleosho
As a kid my imagination was molded by the likes of Enid Blyton and the heroes of Marvel and DC Comics. Fast forward to modern day, and it seems those books and characters had a stronger grip on me than I initially thought. Writing gives me the ability to delve into characters and worlds that would typically be closed off to me in my normal life. An Avid sports fan and music aficionado. I tend to gravitate towards anything that involves creativity. Of late photography seems to have piqued my interest also. I consider myself an expressionist. I write, take pictures and live for new experiences.
