We're delighted to introduce another one of our authors, Mary Muriuki.

Mary's story is one of the most powerful testaments to faith and resilience you will ever read.

In her debut book, TRANSFORMATION (From a House Girl to a Banker), Mary takes us through an inspiring yet deeply emotional journey. She details her incredible rise from the most humble beginnings, facing hardships that would break most people.

She shares her raw story: from her experiences as a house girl, to becoming a hawker in the tough streets of Nairobi, and even navigating the harsh realities of life as a street urchin (Chokoraa).
Yet, Mary defied all the odds.

Her unfaltering faith and resolute spirit propelled her forward. She rose from the depths of poverty to achieve a successful career in banking, flourishing as an entrepreneur and celebrated banker. Her hunger for growth led her to achieve significant educational milestones, recently earning a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the Management University of Africa.

Today, Mary is a Christian banker, motivational speaker, counsellor, and trainer with a passion for empowering youth, married couples, and professionals.

Her second book, THE GREAT MILLIONAIRE'S MIND, is a game-changer that allows us to dive into her life as a banker and business woman. In it, she shares her inspiring journey to financial success, outlining the practical steps, personal anecdotes, and hard work necessary to achieve millionaire status. It is a blueprint for success for anyone who dares to dream big.
We are also thrilled to announce we are currently working on her third book, The Beauty of a Righteous Woman.

Mary's story is one you don't want to miss!

We are thrilled to present one of the most powerful new voices, Khalid Abdirizak.

Khalid is a master of emotional depth and high-stakes suspense, and his two books are must-reads.

In his riveting novel, Tentacles of Bliss, he pulls you into a dark world of human trafficking. Farah is on the run, his only ally a battle-hardened guard who is also his lover. Death lurks at every click of a second, and their searing affair must not blossom until the mission is complete.

Then, in his collection Blood-Stained and Other Stories, he presents a poignant mirror to society. These heart-wrenching dilemmas navigate the tumultuous waters of matrimony and detrimental customs, crafting a maze of challenges that is a true conundrum.

This is an author who will leave you breathless. Lay your hands on his work!

Today, I want to introduce you to one of our most remarkable young writers from North Eastern Kenya (Wajir), Habon Ahmed Abdullahi.

Ms. Abdullahi was officially signed to Starletz Theatre & Books Publishers* in early 2024, and in May, we launched her powerful debut novel, CROWN OF THORNS.

This book has sold thousands of copies locally and internationally. Earlier this year, it was ranked as an Amazon Bestseller, a rank it still holds to this day! See for yourself, though dropped drastically😔:

This book is a raw, devastating, and ultimately triumphant story.

This is Hodhan's story:
She is a bright girl, top of her class, with a future full of promise. But a trip to the countryside with her little sister, Naima, turns into a nightmare. An "ancient ritual" of purification is planned.

The "blinded blade" comes for them both.

Hodhan survives the excruciating agony. Her sister, Naima, is not so lucky. She bleeds to death, leaving Hodhan to carry a grief that is only the beginning of her suffering.

Haunted and alone, Hodhan's life spirals into an even darker chapter. Walking home in a thunderstorm, a hand grasps her shoulder. She is dragged into the bushes. Her dignity is "wrenched from her in the vilest manner imaginable," leaving her "shattered" and her "spirit evaporated."

When she discovers she is pregnant with her attacker's child, the elders are called. Their decision, to "restore her honour," is the cruelest blow of all: she is forced to marry the very man who violated her.

Her new home is a living hell. She is beaten "ruthlessly with the belt, until she collapsed on the floor, half dead," a prisoner in a life she never chose.
CROWN OF THORNS is a merciless, heartbreaking, and powerful story of one woman's will to survive. It is the story of escaping the unimaginable, clutching her child, and finding the courage to fight for a new dawn.

This is one of the most important and moving books we have ever published.

🌟 NEW RELEASE THIS MONTH! 🌟

Starletz Theatre & Books Publishers is thrilled to present "The Light in the Mountains," a profound new novel by Halima Denge!

In the sun-scorched lands of Sololo, tradition demands a sacrifice. But for identical twins Fatuma and Amina, their village's desperate plea for rain instead ignites a devastating prophecy, branding them as demons and driving them into the unforgiving desert.

One wields a spear, fueled by vengeance. The other carries a shield, seeking an impossible path to redemption.

As they navigate a brutal landscape infested with warlords, greed, and the gnawing companionship of thirst, they confront not only external enemies but the very definition of their humanity.

"The Light in theMountains is a breathtaking odyssey of survival, sisterhood, and the arduous journey to heal a land—and a soul—broken by drought. Halima Denge weaves a profound tale of indigenous wisdom, the echoes of ancient traditions, and the startling truth that the greatest light blooms from the hardest soil."

This is a story that will stay with you long after the final page. Don't miss this incredible journey!

The Whispers of Lavington PART 1

The air in Lavington hung thick with the scent of jasmine and the distant hum of Nairobi's evening traffic. It was the kind of evening that promised a quiet end to a long day, but for Muthoni, it was just the beginning of a nightmare. She sat across from her father, a powerful, no-nonsense politician, whose face was ashen.

“You have to get out, now,” he said, his voice a low, urgent whisper that cut through the silence. “The audit… it's not enough. They're coming for us.”

Muthoni’s heart hammered against her ribs. She was a brilliant data analyst, and she'd been working on a top-secret project for her father's campaign, meticulously digging through financial records. What she’d found was a dark web of corruption that stretched from the highest offices to the city’s grimiest alleyways.

Just as she was about to ask who “they” were, the front door burst open, and three men in black suits stormed in. One had a familiar, cruel smirk on his face—it was Odhiambo, her father’s political rival and her ex-fiancé, a man whose ambition was as ruthless as his charm was lethal.

“A little family meeting?” Odhiambo sneered, his eyes locking onto Muthoni's. “Did you find what you were looking for, my dear?”

Muthoni’s world was collapsing. The love she once felt for Odhiambo, the man she believed to be her future, was now a chilling memory. He was the enemy, the very heart of the corruption she’d been trying to expose. The man she was supposed to marry had been playing her all along.

As the men closed in, her father shoved a small, encrypted flash drive into her hand. “Run, Muthoni. Don’t stop for anything.”

She didn’t hesitate. She scrambled out the back, scaling the wall of their compound and disappearing into the shadows of the jacaranda trees. She knew only one place to go—to the one person who could help her, a man who moved in the shadows of the city's underbelly: Mugambi. A notorious, street-smart journalist she'd once met during a charity event, a man known for his daring exposes and his even more dangerous enemies. He was a long shot, but he was her only hope. The race was on.

Part 2 Coming soon....
