Maria Kegode Was Introduced To Books By Her Parents At An Early Age

My love for writing emerged from my childhood experiences. My father who was a civil servant bought me a wide variety of books to read. My mother was a Pastor and she shared with me many diverse stories. She brought me up in the Christian faith and values.

I am a born-again believer, a mother, writer and poet. I am a Consultant and Trainer. I am a conference speaker and have spoken at the IIA International Conference among others. I previously worked at PriceWater House Coopers and the banking sector. I have an MBA in Finance, and have had my research papers published in the IJBM.

My parents had a home library on the farm where I grew up. It had a robust collection of books which I read. From Martin Luther King to books on the people of Kenya.

My first primary school also had a library with many different titles. We would go to the library once a week to get a book to read. I immersed myself in reading the books, from Enid Blyton series to Barabara Kimenye Moses series.

It was by God’s grace that I met my publisher last year at a University I teach at part time. She was the CEO of Virtue Plus Publishers and we began a conversation which culminated in her firm publishing my poetry book Fresh Springs. This is a book which I had been writing over a long period.

My aim of writing is to inspire and motivate others in their journey through life. Fresh springs of poems speaks of our faith in God who guides our way, it reflects on the circle of life. It also reflects on the importance of the different jobs people do from Mama Mboga’s to the Matatu sector, to Construction workers, to Corporate executives.

Fresh Springs also has poems on the importance of environmental conservation, it reflects on the role of farmers and the impact of social media. The eBook which is available on Amazon and Books for my Soul, as well as print on demand.
