About The Book
On a dangerous run to
scavenge supplies from a remote excavation site in the Meza Ruins, Azubuike and
his friends encounter a unique piece of technology left by their ancestors.
Once exposed to the device, Azubuike’s reality is altered in ways that could
unravel his mind. The team has no way of knowing the danger—or benefit—posed by
this ancient technology which triggered a series of events forever changing
Azubuike and his friends. Has he unlocked the secret to end the alien
occupation of his world or will this device result in the extinction of his
people?
The Bennu Project is a genre-defying novel with the suspense
of mystery, metaphors of science fiction and accuracy of historical relevance
depicting the rise-and-fall of several Nile Valley civilizations.
About The Author
Fed up with the
stereotypical caricatures used to falsely portray the Black culture, Tyrone
Givens is committed to creating heroes and heroines as positive images for our
children. To reverse the less-than-flattering qualities that diminish
self-esteem, self-worth and cultural value, this master storyteller entertains
readers with science fiction plots infused with historical facts often omitted
from school curriculums.
Givens, a homeschool educator whose high school-aged
children are attending college, is a multi-lingual, federally-licensed airplane
pilot. The Bennu Project is the culmination of his passions: empowering Black
children, accurate depiction of our history and rebuilding our community.

What Inspired Me to Write My Book
Of concerns important to me,
representation is among the most pertinent. Many issues that trouble this
generation can be viewed as symptoms of how they view themselves. Minorities
who are often under-represented or outright misrepresented in main stream media
are often affected. That said, what inspired me to write The Bennu Project Series was an overwhelming urge to reverse or
mitigate stereotypes and misrepresentations of certain demographics.
Another source of inspiration: my
children. I am a homeschool educator who struggled to find a way to teach my
teenagers historical reference material while keeping their attention. I wanted
them to enjoy the subject matter as they learned. My attempts to find
literature about social justice heroes (that was more than biographical or reference
material) were getting me nowhere. Thus, I merged one of our favorite topics—science
fiction—with one of my favorites—pre-colonial Africa—and The Bennu Project was born.
The teaching tool I created for my
children to more easily retain historical concepts is now a recommended
resource for history classes. I am amazed and grateful at the progress of The Bennu Project Series and the
reception it has earned with inner-city educators and home schoolers.

10 Places Writers Should Be Writing
If you truly
love writing, you write all of the time.
Ideas come to me in the car, shower or when I’m inspired by another
writer. Ideas for writing literally pop
in my head and I open my note app on my phone or if I’m alone, record it on my
voice recorder app on my phone. The
command denominator here is writing it down and my phone. I take it everywhere. I digress but writers should always be
writing something somewhere. Below are
10 places/ways that writers should be writing.
Whether you want to write for fun or for a career, writers should be
writing. Let’s go write!
Community
Magazines/Newsletter
Your own
monthly or quarterly newsletters to your readers or followers
Create Your
Own blog. This blog can be separate or
included on your website.
Be a Guest
Blogger on someone else’s blog.
Publish
books. This is my world and if you need
help, reach out to me.
Create
Audiobooks or Audio files. It may be a
different format than paper or ebook, these are your words just the same but
through sound instead of black and white.
Ebooks –
This is one of the easiest and less expensive ways to get your message out
there without printing costs and specific page count. The ebook doesn’t have to be long to be impactful
but the content should be meaningful.
Speak – Have
a signature speak is key for writers.
There should be something that you can talk about whether it is the
topic of your books or business at a moment’s notice.
Live Stream
– Now Live Streaming can be intimidating at times but necessary to attract new
viewers, listeners or potential clients.
Although Live Stream may be seem like an author’s words on paper, it is
even more effective because the author’s words are heard out of the author’s
mouth. Your words now have a face and
personality to go along with them.
Social Media
– Social Media is no longer an option but a must, requirement and/or
necessity. I am hesitant to work with
authors who are not active on social media.
You have to pick one, practice and then dominate on whatever the
platform.

message to the masses and turn your words into wealth via books, products and
