In my latest release, Midwife To Destiny, Ora
meets Jason on her vacation to South Africa. Last year I traveled to Cape Town and gained weight (thought I'd share), but when I came back I had
to make some changes to the book to allow the reader to see more of Cape Town than I had previously shown when it had only been the internet and my
imagination guiding me.

Here are a few of my vacation
pictures. As you can tell, I had a wonderful time.
Blurb
Ghanaian
nurse Aurora ‘Ora’ Aikins never expected to find the love of her life while on
vacation in South Africa. Engaged to another and believing that love has no
place in her life, she returns to Ghana, and puts duty and honor first.
Three
years later, Dr. Jason Lartey still can’t get Ora out of his mind or his heart.
After learning she never married, he takes a risk and moves to Ghana hoping to
rekindle what they started. His sudden appearance in Ora’s Emergency Department
sends sparks flying all over again.
They’re
in the same country, working in the same hospital, and together but distance
creeps between them. Can they make their destined love one for the ages?
Your posts make me want to stop what I'm doing and make travel plans.
ReplyDeleteLol. What's stopping you, Medeia?
DeleteExactly.
DeleteMedeia, if you're ever in South Africa, don't forget to visit my neck of the woods... and you too Nana *waving*
Next time I come down Michelle, I'll have to drop by.
DeleteCape of Good Hope-- that pic makes me envious!
ReplyDeleteI could have stayed there all day.
DeleteSure looked like you had a wonderful time, Nana Prah. Oh, and thanks for visiting my blog! :-)
ReplyDeleteI did. I'm having a wonderful time finding all of these great blogs.
DeleteBeautiful pic's, Nana. I meant of you!! Like your smiley face.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cathy. If I'm not smiling in a picture, then it means Tallas may as well be created.
DeleteCape of Good Hope! That rigs a bell from my log ago history lessons! Lovely pictures, Nana!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful place. To bad schools don't do international field trips.
DeleteYet another destination to make note of. Love your character name. Ora is golden.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Clee. I love the name Aurora.
DeleteBeautiful. I'm sure the jellyfish recovered, and that's an awesome picture! I love the plateau mountain hovering over the city. *sigh* Mountains...

Thanks. I really enjoyed the trip.
DeleteWow this must have been a wonderful trip. What a gorgeous place. And I love the monkey on your shoulder! :)
ReplyDeleteI was kind of afraid after the lady told me it liked to steal hair bands. And the sneaky cuties had a habit of going into bags too. That's why it's clapsed under my arm.
DeleteLooks like a fun place! Can't wait to start reading the book. It's next on my list. :)

It was awesome. There was so much to do. I hope you enjoy it.
DeleteBeautiful pictures of the landscape and of you! The one with the mist is gorgeous. I'd love to visit sometime.
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend the journey. Cape Town is gorgeous. Glad to see Google allowed you to comment again.
DeleteExcellent research trip!! Lovely pics.
ReplyDeleteToo bad I had to pay for it. Wouldn't it have been nice if someone had given me a book research account?
DeleteYay! You've finally reached my side of the globe...
ReplyDeleteAh, Cape Town IS beautiful... a tourist's paradise!
I haven't visited CT in a long time...
I'm glad I could finally make it south, Michelle. Cape Town is a fantastic city.
DeleteFabulous pictures. Interesting that looking down on Cape Town doesn't look much different than looking down on O'ahu from the top of Diamond Head. Aloha.
ReplyDeleteGail visiting for AtoZ
I have always wanted to go to Hawaii. One day you'll be seeing pics from that trip on here. Looking forward to hula dancing and sinking my feet into that glorious white sand and blue water. Sigh.
DeleteThose pictures are beautiful, I especially like the one of the misty coastline!

Thank you Afshan. I would have liked to have gotten down and walked in the mist.
DeleteWhat an exciting trip. That's one of those trips of a lifetime. It sounds like you were inspired well!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to go again one day, but there are so many other places in the world to experience.
DeleteI went to the World Cup in South Africa in 2010 and loved it. I thought Capetown was so cosmopolitan and beautiful. Truly one of the prettiest cities I've ever visited. It reminded me a lot of San Francisco! Great to see that you enjoyed yourself in Capetown. :)
ReplyDeleteEver since I saw 'The Real World: San Francisco' I've wanted to go there.
DeleteLovely photos, Nana.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy.
