Destiny Mine is on Audio

I'm so excited. Destiny Mine - book #2 in the Destiny African Series is on audio. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to listen to my characters come to life. I laughed quite a bit because both Esi and Adam are hilarious. At least in my opinion. You can come to your own conclusion. My face heated up when I listened to the scene where they made love. Yes I wrote that.

I tortured Mark Rossman with the pronunciations of the places Adam and Esi traveled to in the Volta Region. He did an amazing job with both the words and the story. If you're a Ghanaian and any of the words don't sound quite right to your ears, the blame is on me.


Take a quick listen (Not to the sex scene- you'll have to buy your own book to hear that).




Here is where you can get your copy.

Extraordinary midwife, Esi Darfour, is looking to get married.  She’s a master matchmaker but has no luck when it comes to her love life and has yet to find a man worthy of her. Until she has to deal with gorgeous Dr. Adam Quarshie outside of work.


Adam is a player who refuses to get married—ever. His interest lies more in getting her into bed than in having any kind of committed relationship. Esi’s matchmaker instincts warn her to run in the other direction as quickly as possible, but her heart insists she stay…get closer…and see if what they feel for each other can change his mind.

How I got my book to #1 on the Amazon #Bestseller list



Midwife to Destiny, the first book in the Destiny African Romance Series was released on February 21, 2014 by Decadent Publishing. During that time I took the book on blog tours and used social media as a marketing tool. The most important thing I did was to take successful authors’ advice and wrote more books. Now there are three in the series and a fourth one (Destiny Awakened) coming out this year.

An author’s most pressing question is how to get their book in front of the masses so that they can decide if they want to buy it or not. For me that answer came in the form of BookBub.
I was so happy when BookBub approved Midwife to Destiny. Why? Because as book promoters they have an extensive reach. I doubt that there’s anyone who has ever put their book on sale and listed with BookBub not seen a rise in their Amazon ranking.

On August 18th Midwife to Destiny was featured with BookBub as being on sale for 99 cents under African American Interest. It didn’t take long for my Amazon ranking got start heading toward the lower numbers. Can we say excitement? The next day this is what I saw on Amazon:





People chose to buy Midwife to Destiny which, drove it up the ranks. I think that's because my book is:
1. Well edited (Thanks Zee and Decadent Publishing)
2. Has a fabulous cover (Thanks Tibbs Design)
3. Is good  (Yes I do say so myself, and so do the 17 people who left reviews – Thanks reviewers)

I am now an Amazon Bestseller.

The best part is that people also bought the other two books in the series, which I also put on sale. And my book Love Undercover, by a different publisher, also felt the effects and rose in rank.


I invested $150 with BookBub. Even though I have no idea how many books I sold, but I’m glad that I did it because they definitely know how to deliver.

The Blurb

Time is ticking away for Adjoa Twum. She has until the end of the year to find a guy, fall in love, and marry. Or else, her father will disinherit her from the family business. Adjoa hasn’t had success with the dating game. No man meets her expectations. Esi, her cousin, suggests a fake relationship with Adjoa’s best friend, Kwame Opoku, to pacify her relentless father.
Kwame thinks Adjoa’s request is ridiculous. Posing as her boyfriend might get tricky, but he can’t say no to those beautiful eyes. Once the falsified relationship begins, things heat up. He discovers deep feelings for her, feelings that might lose Adjoa and her friendship.

Should they take the chance and up it to the next level?

The last thing she expects is to fall in love with a prison guard…

Hotshot Secret Service Agent, Sarita Cerez is thrown into a medium security prison—for work. Her job is to protect the daughter of the president of South Korea. She never envisioned making friends with illegal immigrants or falling head over heels for one of the guards. Now the clandestine activity, which is integral to protecting her charge, may destroy her only chance at love.


He's never fraternized with the inmates—until he met her…

Matthew Carter always plays by the rules, which includes maintaining a strictly professional relationship with the inmates in his charge. But when Sarita saunters onto the unit, all bets are off. Her status as a deportee with a permanent ticket to Columbia means they can never be together, but try as he might, this doesn’t stop him from risking his career for her.

He's a man who values honesty above all else, and she lies for a living. Can two people from such different worlds find any common ground?

Song of the day - African Queen

Happy New Year! I thought I'd start it out with a song. Who doesn't love music?

When this song plays in a midst of females here in Ghana, you get a gaggle of women (some men, too) singing in unity. Who wouldn’t want to be considered her man’s queen? His everything? The woman he elevates above all others and treats like royalty because she is the woman of his dreams. Sigh.

This is what Esi Darfour from Destiny Mine is looking for, but she finds Adam Quarshie. He has no intention of making anyone his queen. He’s a one woman right now type of man who’d rather have many princesses than a single queen.

Destiny Mine is a romance so you know it will all change. Adam gets the African queen he’d never thought to look for.

To series or not to series? #Romance #Writing


I never thought I’d be a series writer.  Do you know how much pressure there is on writing a second book in a line? A lot. When I wrote Midwife to Destiny I thought it would be a single book. And then my editor casually mentioned that I should think about a second book.

Of course once planted, the idea sprouted and then grew. I ended up with the tree of Destiny Mine. The story of Ora’s cousin, Esi. She was so much fun to write in Midwife to Destiny. Spunky, adventuresome, and a tad bit over the top. I paired her with Adam, Jason’s best friend. Adam is an alpha to the core. Worse, he can’t stand being involved in relationships, in other words he’s a player.

When I put these two characters together there were fireworks. Enough for me to leave the sweet subgenre of romance and venture into opening the door to the bedroom.

Writing the Destiny Series was one of the best things I’ve ever done and I’m glad I didn’t let fear of being a flop stop me. In fact it spurred me on.The third in the series, Entwined Destiny, is due to hit the bookstores soon. So keep a look out.


Are you a series writer? Did you start the book knowing you would be?

Labor of Love Blog Hop - Enter to win a Kindle, ebooks, and GCs #LOLHop #Giveaway

Happily ever afters only come after heart-breaking work, and this Labor Day weekend, we are celebrating our written labors of love by giving our readers a chance to win a brand-spankin' new Kindle with our personal bests.

That's right, you could win all of our books! Aren't you excited? We are! 

In Ghana (and the UK) the blog hop would be called Labour of Love. 

Destiny Mine is a labor of love in more than one way. The heroine, Esi, is a midwife who excels at both delivering babies and setting people up (at least she had luck with her cousin in Midwife to Destiny). One job I could never do is be a midwife, and yet I have the utmost respect for them. I wanted to relay this admiration to the world. Plus it made for a hot romance when I threw a womanizing doctor into the mix.


I’m happy to announce that Decadent Publishing will be publishing book three in the Destiny series, Entwined Destiny (Yay). 

All of my labors of love are on sale for $1.99 for a limited time at Amazon and All Romance eBooks.

A Touch of Ghanaian Pidgin English - All about Chale #Ghana #Romance #MedicalRomance

In both Midwife to Destiny and Destiny Mine I use the word Chale. In Ghana this is the Pidgin English way of saying ‘friend’. Similar to the word ‘buddy’ or ‘pal’. It can be spelled many different ways such as Charlie, Charley, or the way I chose, Chale.

Either way, when someone calls you this, it’s a good thing because it’s a term of familiarity and camaraderie. Its a sexless term, but I’ve found that men use the term more often. Although I do have a couple of friends who call me Chale, I rarely use it, but love the term.


One of the beer companies in Ghana picked up on it and uses it as part of their advertisement. They aren’t the only ones, but the ad sticks out in my mind because their branding is everywhere- plus I love their beer.

Chale, get your copy of Destiny Mine while it's still 99 cents at Amazon. Or get your print copy if you're so inclined.

Multi-published Bragging Rights #Romance #Author #Writer #Yay

I never got to officially showcase a cartoon I had done by the fabulous Heather R. Holden (she does these amazing comic strips). I love what she came up with (not just because it's got purple in it either).

Sometimes it blows my mind that I, Nana Prah, am a multi-published author. It's incredible only because it was never on my things to do list. I never thought I'd be a writer. An actress, yes, but not publishing books. And now with four books under my belt, there's nowhere to go but MORE. I'm on it!

By the way to help make your choosing a little easier, two of my books are on sale at Amazon for 99 cents. Love Undercover and Destiny Mine. The others are full price, but I have to say that they are totally worth it.

Destiny Mine is also in print. Yes, print! So for those of you who enjoy snuggling up with a good book and turning actual pages then get yourself a copy.
