- What You Need to Know About Me:
- Who is a'Kihoro? The name is derived from the Swahili 'a'kiroho' and translates to mean Spiritual. I believe that God gives all of us special talents or “gifts” (Matt. 25:14-30), which when used for His glory become greater than we ever imagined.
In my ministry, I am a desktop publishing consultant assisting authors with manuscript pagination, book covers and publication design, marketing and promotion.
Works in Progress: Currently I publish a monthly online subscription newsletter titled, The Village Griot, and I am working on my second book of poetry.
I have also just completed much of the research for my yet untitled novel --a historical fiction, that will allow the reader to travel back in time from 1960 Baltimore, into New Orleans during the late 1800s and the Rappahannock River in Northern Neck of Virginia, while learning of a deep family secret.

Daddy... Benjamin Franklin Moore
by Sharon Moore Stenhouse (aka) a’Kihoro
Benjamin Franklin Moore –no, not the wall paint manufacturer; my father, was the kindness, most gentile man I have ever known. People often flocked to be in his presence. He was born, along with his twin brother Joseph, on a tenant’s farm in Abbeville, South Carolina sometime between 1910 and 1920, no one alive knows for sure. Most in the family called him Ben although I can remember he loved when the churchwomen… Continue

Beauty Is...
The sky
the clouds
the flowers and trees
birds perched upon carved branches
to the warmth of a summer breeze
Close your eyes
draw air through your nostrils
a soft whisper in your ear you hear
beauty is …
never, ever fear
Works of creation for all to savor
pallet of colors loading the brush

- Hi Sharon,
Thanks so much for your interest in my books. The first is titled Toward the Light. It's about a troubled young man with a dark side who actually lives a very charmed life. He feels that he has it all together, when in fact it's just the opposite. He meets and falls in love with a beautiful young woman and puts together a plan to keep her close, but still maintain his secret life style. Of course it back fires but he allows the tragedy that follows to change him for the better.
My second book is titled The Prodigal Son and is the sequel to Toward the Light. In the second book a young lady from his past comes back into his life seeking revenge for past hurts that he's inflicted upon her.
If you go to my website you can read excerpts from both of them www.thesavannahjpublications.com My desire is to self publish a second edition of Toward the Light under my own imprint followed by The Prodigal son. I am also working on a third novel and co-authoring a trilogy with a friend.
Thanks again!
