Somi loves to read. She is a sucker for romance and can usually be found sighing over the exquisite love stories she consumes regularly.

In 2012, she started publishing the story that became Always Yours, as a blog serial at www.lagosromanceseries.com. It was later published as a novel. Her other books include Hidden Currents, the standalone sequel to Always Yours, as well as a short story, Jungle Justice.
