Up-to-date Nana News on 2016

I had this picture taken to kind of resemble my banner because I'm still in love with it (thank you Love Bites and Silk).

Happy Brand New Year! 

On a terrific note: 

• Zombies haven't taken over the world (whew). 
• Vampires are still in the closet (hehehehe). 
• Chocolate is still delicious (I never feared).

The bad news includes: 

• I can't disappear without walking through a door or climbing through a window (quite anticlimactic unless I storm out in a huff, but it's not the same as going poof). 
• Me engaging in sword fighting would leave me without of my vital parts and in jail. 
• It hurts me most to tell you that although I've tried (and tried and tried) I still can't shift into a dragon. 

(Can you tell that I've been a little into paranormal novels lately?)

Fortunately, 2016 will be fabulous year for reading, writing, blogging, and being a mostly loving and happy person. I hope the same will be true for all of you (if you get the dragon shifting down, come pick me up for a ride).


I've made only one resolution for the year. By hook, crook, plane, train, or automobile I will publish five books in 2016. Yes. The good news is that Entwined Destiny is being released on the 12th so that's one down. 

I have a surprise announcement for you a little later about the book that will be published on December 24th, 2016 by a huge publisher who will be named at a later date. Just know that Nana (yes I did refer to myself in the third person) will be blowing up - figuratively only- in 2016.

I'll be doing other things during the year, but I'll call those GOALS and keep them to myself for now. 

By the way there's a man in the picture - and I'm not just talking about my book covers. I'm just saying.

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?

What I got from The Hobbit – The Desolation of Smaug

Here’s the awesome theme song by Ed Sheeran for you to listen to while you read my post. (I stayed for all of the credits to hear the whole song).  

When my brother, Nab, got sick years ago, he wanted the The Hobbit book. Me being the awesome big sister and feeling guilty that it was him and not me that got ill, drove all over Cleveland, not a city I was familiar with, to find it. He appreciated it, never got to read it.

 I read it years later and loved it. It holds a special meaning for me. I know without a doubt that if my brother had lived and seen the movie, we would’ve discussed it for days on end. I’ll share a few of my impressions  with you, my fabulous readers, instead.

1. I want to be an elf- they’re the best mystical beings ever. They’re beautiful, but  are not to be crossed, because they can kick arse  (just like me).  Except I’d love to have a touch of their magic, okay all of it.

2. Love comes during unexpected moments, sometimes with the least likely individual.

3. Never give up, even when it all seems to be at an end, the light will shine and show you the way.

4. Being brave is only a matter of looking within yourself and doing what you never thought you could do. Just do it.

5. From the creators of the movie I learned that when you have an idea, no matter how grand or impossible it seems, you can make it happen.

As wonderful as both Parts I and II of The Hobbit turned out to be and look forward to the last segment, I enjoyed the book better.

Thank you all for sticking with me in 2013. See you  in 2014 – the year to rock all years (until 2015 comes).

Did you see read the book or watch the movie? Any impressions?
