Greetings fellow Adventurers!
Things are shaking up over here on Adventures. We have a new look and loads of great new content. To add to that, this summer promises to be a blockbuster for readers and writers of African fiction and chick-lit (if it’s still PC to call it that.) Chimamanda Adiche has written Americanah, Nnnenna Marcia and VV are about to be published, and yours truly finally put finger tips to keyboard and completed the mandate that I’ve put off for far too long…
ATS will be available in print on May 10th. (shiii!)
That’s right guys, we’ve penned our first novel!
Look for The Daughters of Swallows on bookshelves and on Amazon.com. We can discuss how my fellow ATSians feel about how everything ended with the girls. Was it a fitting end? Did everyone get their just desserts? Was Tony everything he presented himself to be? Questions, fila and sappor!

Ooh!!! GIRL!!!!!!! Will it be just in print or will there be an ebook format? Congratulations!!!
I’m terribly, terribly excited. You’d think it was my book.
LOL! Thank you luvin’! Both. I’m looking into getting it printed in Ghana as well, so it can be available to my people on demand. 🙂
I can’t wait for your book to come out. It’s going to blow the roof off, I’m sure!!
*tears of joy*!! Sooo VERY happy for you!! 🙂
Herh!!! Kwasi Gyekye’s daughter!!! You’ve finally done it!!! Had already consulted the priest behind my GrandFather’s farm, yes, that very one twenty steps from the stream to ensure you continually have bad hair days until you publish… Now, thou art free… Book Launch, Book Launch… Aha!!! Oh, and bring Stone over for Summer Camp over at Chorkor… When he returns, Tarzan saf won’t come close..
Herh! SCROOGE you! So you are the one responsible for my unkempt appearance? See your life. As for the book launch dierr, it has to go down. Ask your grandfather if we can catch some small fish for the guests.
AM: As for you, I have to apologize to you. No, no! Just take the “I’m sorry”. I made you a promise last year and failed, but I think now is the right time. Thank you for pushing me 🙂
This is exciting! Congratulations!
Cannot wait!!!
Malaka looking forward to it. You have been working very hard since your Ghana trip. More oil to your elbow
Dela, you noticed eh? I’ll never cease saying it: This trip to Ghana was the shot in the arm I needed!
Congratulations Malaka….i guess with so many ladies getting published, boring reading nights for me are a thing of the past!
VV getting published?! Tell me more…
oh yaaayyyyyyy! just one question. how possible is it to order an autographed copy?
@ozohu – I don’t see why not! I’ll work out the logistics 🙂
Congrats to all and their hard work. My summer indeed will be full of good reads.
Congratulations!! and may you have many more published works. I look forward to reading The Daughters of Swallows.

Next step is the trailer for the book. I have so many ideas, none of them ‘acceptable’. Ha!
