About The Author
Makanjuola .O. Dada is a Nigerian-born storyteller, sometimes a poet—and always a seeker of emotional truth.
He writes from the places most people run from: silence, heartbreak, the ache of belonging.
His debut work, A Night in Rome on a Full Moon, is a novel-in-verse told over one night of emotional awakening—yet rooted in a lifetime.
It’s a story of forbidden love, longing, unravelling identity, and the search for home—within and beyond the self.
