Hi folks! Happy 4th of April. Today, I'm taking part in a special cover reveal. Keeping Secrets by the fabulous Kiru Taye is coming out on 12th May, 2014, and I am helping her celebrate her brand spanking new cover! *drawing curtains* Tadaaa! Keeping Secrets By Kiru Taye Series: The Essien Trilogy, Book 1 Genre: Contemporary Romance, Multicultural Length: Full length novel Release date: May 12, 2014 The Essien Trilogy - Series Blurb Secrets, Scandals, and Seduction under the African skies.

So my long awaiting book reading is nearly here! If you're in Accra or can be in Accra on Wednesday, 26th March, 2016, please don't forget to come. Autographed copies : you know you love owning books that have been autographed by the author :-), and since I'll be there with my special pen, you can buy a copy of Chancing Faith and have it autographed. How awesome is that! 15% off! I should probably have mentioned this first - print copies of Chancing Faith will be on sale at 15% off their retail price (shhh). Meet other book lovers and readers:  The Ghana Voices Series (which is what Writers Project Ghana calls the book reading sessions) is a good way to meet like-minded people who share your passion for reading and books (like the fact that you love the smell of new books)  There's a fourth reason, but it's a surprise - teeheehee. Okay, enough goofing around. Seriously, it will be a fun one hour of your time. Don't miss out.  

  It's been a fun week, hasn't it? I am sure we all had a blast with the love scenes of various heat levels. I'm not going to ask about favourites since that would be hard to do for many of you. What I will say is, I hope you had a wonderful hop (I know I did) and that you had an even better Valentine's Day (creating your own love scenes). Anyway, enough beating about the bush. Time to announce my Rafflecopter winner....(drumroll) MELISSA C! Congrats to you, Melissa C., and thanks for participating in the blog hop. Your gift will be heading your way soon.

First of all I want to say a huge thank you to all the authors and bloggers who made donations and signed up for the Color of Love blog hop, and then to all lovers or IR/MC romance who stopped by to take part in the hop by leaving comments and taking part in the rafflecopter promotion. This hop wouldn’t have been a success without all of you. A special shout out to everyone who stopped by my blog and left a comment or followed me on Facebook or Twitter. I don’t want to brag or anything, but I'm thrilled about the results, so THANK YOU. Please remember to check out my updates, especially since I am more than half way done on my current WIP. And  now, it’s time to announce winners of my blog prize! Okay, so I said my blog prize was a $10 gift card , right? Well, I have changed my mind (in a good way, so keep reading). In honour of US Thanksgiving Day, I've decided to give one additional prize! Since random(dot)org picked a winner from the rafflecopter, I decided to add an additi...
