History
Sanusi had talked with a number of publishers and received "...'rave rejections' from Christian publishers who couldn't publish some of my work as it didn't fit their remit". During this time she was editing two online magazines and running a personal website. In 2004, she secured book contracts with two different publishers.[2]
Kemi's Journal (2005) was her first work of fiction, followed by Zack's Story of Life, Love and Everything. God Has Daughters Too is a devotional book written about 10 women of the Old Testament.[3] Her most recent novel, Eyo, published by WordAlive Publishers was shortlisted for the 2010 Commonwealth Writers' Prize.[4]
