Author Empi Baryeh's Blog

It's time once again for the COLOR OF LOVE Blog Hop! Hosted this year by Love Bites and Silk  in conjunction with Empi Baryeh (me), Kiru Taye , and Nana Prah , from today until Monday ( 4th - 8th December ) we are celebrating romance in colour and offering you a chance of discovering new books, new authors and new settings as well as winning prizes. It's bigger and better this year. We have 50 blogs participating, each featuring an interracial and multicultural romance book that you may not have read yet! This is your chance to let the blogging world know what you love about interracial or multicultural romance novels. Is it the diverse cultural setting of the stories, the exotic locations, the sexy accents or the hot bodies? For me, it's definitely the different cultures and settings. I love love love when the author uses non-English words and phrases. Throw in an interracial baby, and I'm in IR/MC heaven. LOL SOOOO, what do you like about IR/MC romance? Answer that q...

Happy Monday, people! Today, I'm over at the RWOWA (Romance Writers of West Africa) blog with my heroine from Most Eligible Bachelor , answering seven pertinent questions posed by my flirty and feisty friend,  Stella Eromonsere Ajanaku . Anyway, I would love to hear from you about this heroine who snatched the most eligible bachelor, the incredibly hot business mogul, Lord McKenzie. Click here If you missed the interview Lord McKenzie granted on author Nana Prah's blog, here's the link (warning: you may need a cold shower afterward) Have a great week.    

I’ve been enticed (read: harpooned) into participating in the ‘ My Writing Process Blog Hop ’, which seeks to introduce you to authors you may not know and gives a little insight into each author's writing process. For that reason, I’ll stick to author friends of mine (I'm pretty sure if I tagged Nora Roberts, she won't play). Author, Nana Prah, nominated me for this blog hop. I am currently reading her most recent release, Midwife to Destiny, which I’m thoroughly enjoying (don’t forget to drop by on Wednesday for an interview with Nana Prah and a sneak peek into her novel + a chance to win a cool prize). Okay, so back to the hop: I’m supposed to answer four (simple) questions about my writing, then pay it forward by tagging three authors and linking to their website and/or blog. The three authors will in turn put up a similar post on their blogs next Monday. Here goes: 1) What am I working on? I’m working actively on book 2 of the ‘From Ghana with Love’ series, i.e. the se...

Ah, the letter of LOVE. I should have known this would be a difficult one. There were two top contenders for this slot, but eventually, I decided to go with Letters by South African band, Watershed (I know, I keep going to SA). It's on their Album Mosaic. I was hooked from the first moment I heard this song and it was enough motivation to buy the album without listening to the other songs. I hope you enjoy, Letters: As I said, there were a lot of 'L' songs, so here are my honourable mentions : Life is Going on (Without You) - Coleske Living Years  - Mike and and Mechanics Love is Life - Hot Chocolate Le Téléphone Pleure by Claude François Landslide - Dixie Chicks The Last Goodbye - Atomic Kitten Any of the above on your list?
