RUBY IN THE SKY By Jeanne Zulick Ferruolo Sometimes, it seems as though everything goes wrong in a person’s life. Is it asking too much to want a true forever home? In Author Jeanne Zulick Ferruolo’s novel RUBY IN THE SKY, Ruby and her mother are moving to their forever home. Only it doesn’t work out the way they had planned. Ruby’s mother is arrested, and that’s only the beginning of events in Ruby’s life. As she befriends an old lady and a boy in school, she learns that people are not always what they seem. RUBY IN THE SKY is a story of family and friendship, forgiveness and bravery, along with a touch of magic and the realization that everyone has his or her own story. I also learned something about the real “Ruby Moon",  which is very rare, sort of like Ruby Moon Hayes in the story. Do you know what it is?  This novel is ideal for school libraries, as well as your own private library. Jeanne Zulick Ferruolo has written a story that will ...

Others are completely out of my reach. If I could turn back the hands of time, I will certainly do some things differently. For instance, I won’t venture into writing and publishing.

Imagine Africa without poor leadership, corruption and religious fanatics. And high moral values and innovation are adequately rewarded. What if you realize that you don’t need to be a Christian or Muslim to be rich? Nothing guarantees success like following due process. Can religion build a country? The idea of applying spiritual solutions to physical problems has to stop. Great countries and continents are not built by faith—they are built through vision, integrity, hard work and scientific creations. Some people are poor or below average in Africa, especially Nigeria because they value religion more than anything else. What if the man you so trusted to give you spiritual guidance is actually a fraud and all he wants is for you to remain impoverished so that you could be his puppet? Fear of the unknown. Fear of backlash. Fear of failure could hurt anyone. In the world of a charlatan, winning is all about keeping majority of the people poor with a religious c...

Ruyi: How would you describe yourself? Tell us something about where you are based, and how you came to be a song writer and musician. I am Josephine Latoya Okunbor. I am married with two children. I am from Edo State. I studied Business Education at the Adeniran Ogunsaya College of Education, Ijanikin, Lagos state, Nigeria. My journey as a musician and song writer started when I joined the 144,000 music group many years ago. Ruyi: Ah! I remember. Then I was the coordinator of the group and it was like 144,000 or nothing. How time flies! Yes, you are now a gospel artiste. You are aware that secular music is doing well in Nigeria. Davido, Wizkid and a host of other secular artistes are making cool hard cash from music nowadays. As you know, no reasonable human being wants to be left behind. Have you considered secular music? Some say it is a goldmine! No, I have not considered it. Well as for today, it is gospel music all the way. Ruyi: It’s all right. I know a lot...
