Why the Pen Name, KB Manyame?

Why the Pen Name, KB Manyame?

When I released my 2 Books 📚

'Means to an End' and 'Ndakaripa' under the Pen Name, KB Manyame, I had some colleagues come to me asking:

'Why this particular Pen Name?'

Well, I am answering them now ...

KB stands for Kudandaya Barwanowako, names of some of my ancestors

Manyame was the first name of my marternal Grandfather.

KB Manyame writes Horror under The Winona Manyame Mysteries

According to Wikipedia, Winona is a feminine name given an Anglicized form of The Dakota descriptive term Winunna, meaning 'First Born Daughter'

After I had written and published my first Book, I realised coincidentally, I am a FIRST BORN DAUGHTER!!

Talk about an interesting coincidence!!
