Bitcoin Royalty: The Rise of King-P is a powerful blend of storytelling, vision, and financial insight. It follows the journey of King-P, a bold and visionary ruler who dares to break from tradition and invest in Bitcoin, the digital gold of a new era.
Through his quest, readers are taken into a world where heritage meets innovation, and where courage to embrace change reshapes not only a kingdom but also the future of its people.

How do you create your characters?
The characters in Bitcoin Royalty: The Rise of King-P were crafted to serve both as individuals within the story and as symbolic representations of larger themes. King-P was developed as the visionary leader, embodying courage and foresight, inspired by both historical African rulers and modern innovators who embrace change. His character stands as a metaphor for leadership in uncertain times.
The royal court and advisors were created to represent tradition, caution, and resistance to change. They reflect the skepticism that disruptive innovations like Bitcoin often face from established systems such as governments and banks.
The people of the kingdom were designed as the beneficiaries of the king’s decisions, symbolizing ordinary citizens in societies worldwide who stand to gain from financial empowerment and innovation.
The opponents—external forces and entrenched powers—were introduced to create conflict and represent the old order that resists decentralization and the shift in financial power.
Overall, the characters were constructed not just to tell a story but to personify the central struggles of vision versus fear, innovation versus tradition, and freedom versus control. This symbolic approach ensures the narrative operates as both a captivating tale and a broader commentary on the challenges and opportunities of cryptocurrency.

What does your typical writing day look like?
Morning – Inspiration and Planning
The day often begins early with quiet reflection, prayer, or journaling to set the right mindset. Mornings are reserved for gathering inspiration—through reading news on cryptocurrency, reflecting on African leadership history, or reviewing notes taken the previous day. This time helps align the book’s message with both real-world insights and creative imagination.
Late Morning – Drafting and Deep Writing
Once settled, uninterrupted writing begins. This is usually the most productive period, with focus placed on drafting new chapters or expanding existing sections. The approach is immersive: envisioning characters like King-P in dialogue, playing out their struggles and triumphs, and weaving them into the broader themes of empowerment, leadership, and financial revolution.
Afternoon – Research and Refinement
After a break, afternoons are used for research—fact-checking cryptocurrency concepts, revisiting African cultural elements, and ensuring the narrative’s lessons remain both educational and compelling. During this period, rough drafts are refined, and dialogue or monologues are polished to strike the right balance between story and message.
Evening – Reflection and Notes
Evenings are more quiet and reserved for reflection. This might involve jotting down new ideas, planning future chapters, or revisiting the day’s writing to identify gaps or areas that need more depth. Sometimes, inspiration strikes in reflective moments, leading to additional late-night notes.
The Rhythm of Writing
The author’s writing day is not just about filling pages but about staying true to the mission: to inspire, educate, and empower readers through story. Each day blends discipline with flexibility, ensuring that creativity flows naturally while keeping the narrative consistent and purposeful.

What’s one challenge you’ve faced in your writing journey?
One of the main challenges that were faced while writing Bitcoin Royalty: The Rise of King-P was balancing technical accuracy with storytelling.
On one hand, the book needed to capture the essence of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in a way that was truthful, educational, and reflective of real-world financial dynamics. On the other hand, it also had to remain a compelling narrative with rich characters, cultural depth, and a storyline that could engage readers who may not be familiar with crypto at all.
This balancing act meant constantly asking:
- How much technical detail is too much before it overwhelms the story?
- How can I weave in financial concepts without losing the imaginative flow of King-P’s journey?
- How do I ensure the book inspires both crypto enthusiasts and everyday readers who just love a good story?
In short, the greatest challenge was making a complex and often misunderstood subject accessible, relatable, and inspirational—without diluting the richness of the narrative or the accuracy of the message.

What advice would you give to new or aspiring indie authors?
Writing and publishing a book is as much a journey of discipline as it is of creativity. Start by committing to a consistent writing routine, even if it’s just a page a day—small steps compound into finished chapters. Don’t wait for perfect inspiration; begin with what you have and refine as you go.
Most importantly, write with authenticity. Let your voice, experiences, and convictions guide the story. Publishing can feel daunting, but remember: there is no “perfect moment” to release your work—only the courage to share it. Trust your vision, and know that your story can inspire someone in ways you may never imagine.
