Alban Désiré Afène is a Gabonese novelist. He was born on March 5,1972 in Gabon where he grew up. In 1992 he moved to France to study Law then relocated to Canada in 1994 where he enrolled in Political Science. Back in Gabon in 1999, he ended up working in the sale and marketing department of a mobile phone company. In 2010, Afène relocated to the United States of America where he currently lives.

Although becoming a writer has never been in his bucket list, Afene pushed open the doors of literature in 2009 when he published "Essola" with L'Harmattan in France. Since then, he has authored several books, all written in French. Afène's inspiration draws from both the turbulence and the serenity of modern societies. His work covers a wide range of social and sometimes controversial issues such as religion, occultism, politics and sexuality. His storylines mostly focus on the complexity of social structure, question modern and traditional family dynamic and their impact on individuals.

In 2017, his writing took a different turn when he created "HOMICIDES 241", a police novel series portraying a high-ranking female police officer Captain Mandy Rose Nguema in charge of the homicides department at the police headquarters in Libreville Gabon.
