Dr Stella Botchway
Dr Stella Botchway, author and doctor.
I pressed pause a few weeks ago and had a conversation with my school friend, Stella.
Dr Stella Botchway is also an author and doctor. Stella studied medicine at the University of Oxford and was an Early Career Fellow at The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities.
We attended secondary school together and reconnected again after I wrote about Stella in one of my stories; Or sit down.
Dr Stella Botchway recently wrote her first children’s book, Heroes of the Pirate Ship, from her book series, Magic Faces, under the pen name, Esi Merleh.
We chatted about our school years, Stella’s career, and her book, published by UCLan Press.
I’m super proud of Dr Stella Botchway.
Listen to our conversation.
Heroes of the Pirate Ship, by Esi Merleh, with colour pictures by Abeeha Tariq, is aimed at children 5+
Open the magic face paints and adventure awaits . . .
Pirate ship or Robot world
Which one will you choose?

When two very suspicious pirates climb aboard the New Leaf ship and start snooping around, Austin and Alanna know they must help their crewmates . . . can they save the ship and complete their mission on time?
