My name is Makonnen. Stif is my middle name shortened from Stifanos. I am originally from Ethiopia, although I live in Stockholm since 1980. I 'm father of three children and author three novels in Amharic language. I write screenplays as well. Recently, I was engaged in translating an outspoken Swedish book, titled “438 days” by M.Schibbye & J Person. Writing is not my profession nor is it my gift from the heavens, but I have learned some of the crafts from books and of course from reading other books. So, I try. I have completed writing an English novel of 100 000 words, checked the spelling, and whatever I could. Now I need you. Stif.
