Ade Akinosho was born in Lagos, one of the fastest growing city in the world. She now resides in Schaumburg IL, after living in Dubai for two and a half years, with her husband and four children. A move she says gave her the opportunity to meet interesting and amazing people. By day, Ade considers herself Mom and house driver taking care of her children and by night she lets her imagination run wild writing romance novels where she feels she is literally seating in the room with her characters.
Ade is a Linguistics and English major who went on to work in the business operations world with an MBA. Now back to her original passion for writing, something she started doing at the age of 10, Ade describes herself as a voracious reader, lover of the art of words and a traveler. She is known to scribble on just about anything that comes to her when the words fill her mind. Publishing her first novel “Falsified” is a dream come true for someone who has always had a passion for writing and love for reading.
When she is not busy writing or fulfilling an activity for her children, you can always find her reading a book, binging on chocolate or checking out interesting places in the world.
