• 24 and Gnashing

    I don’t know about you, but growing up is scary, confusing and it doesn’t get any better especially if you’re gnashing.

    Actually, it is both funny and depressing like forcing a little kid to dance.

    But we move on despite the pain, the joy, and rejections towards whatever end.

    24 and Gnashing is a journey through the mind of a 24-year-old striding through the defining decade.

    It talks about heartbreaks, faith, fear, the joy of friends and family, and maybe hope.

  • Ashawo Diaries: Tales of Adwoa Attaa

    A most intriguing intercourse of tragedy and sex

    The titillating intrigues of a good bad girl…delightful reading: sometimes light, sometimes dark; always with ponderous insights! – Koku Dotse

    Ashawo Diaries makes for engaging reading, and beyond connecting with earlier literary forebears, it is important to think about how such a novel enters the Ghanaian social landscape where sex is traditionally a public taboo. Ashawo Diaries is a text that challenges sanitized perspectives of Ghana. – Kwabena Opoku-Agyemang, Lecturer, Department of English, University of Ghana, Legon

    [The author] is zealous towards unearthing the ills of society. I describe her as the “perfect role model of today’s world”. I am not surprised she took this bold step to write this story. Though bold for our traditional society, l am of the view that she held the bull by the horn. The story…will surely leave readers scratching their heads with excitement. – Dr (Mrs.) Nana Ama Pokuaa Arthur, Lecturer, KNUST

    A thrilling page-turner. Amoafowaa is fluid in narration, and succinct in description. – Rebecca Obuobisa-Darko, Personnel Officer, Ga East Municipal Education Directorate

    Cecila’s Ashawo Diaries is storytelling meddled in art, obviously, science and a game of the protagonist. Daring diary entries with erotic sprinkles, gripping and sustaining, which depicts the struggles of a native daughter in contrast to Richard Wright’s native son, the zigzag turns of life and the map of love, friendship, pleasure, identity, re-identity as compasses at each turn. Poetically written and with a feminist undertone. – Grace Ihejiamaizu, Lecturer, University of Calabar, Founder of IKapture and Opportunity Desk, Nigeria

    Ashawo Diaries raises queries on why young girls should experience sexual suppression in a cultural context like Ghana where children are valued, moral standards are held high and sexual discussions silenced. – Dr. Georgina Yaa Oduro, Director, Centre for Gender Research, Advocacy and Documentation (CEGRAD), University of Cape Coast

  • Black Queen Sceptre

    He stole her dignity from her. He was one close friend she could count on. On the night of her seventeenth birthday, her life took a pivoting turn. This was more like survival of betrayal for Nana Fima. To Ma Kukua, it was like déjá vu.

    A passionate quest for revenge leads to a peek into prison life. A flash through New York City, where life takes a second major turn, full of uncertainties. A love story surfaces, with twists and turns and soon a genius is discovered while a ruthless criminal, Rich Hitler, officially becomes an Emeritus of world crimes.

    Nana Fima has to fight a difficult battle once again with unexpected tragic events along the line. Is victory coming from the Black Queen’s camp or it is going to be the same old story of the bad guys winning while the good people fight with their hands tied behind their back?

    This is survival of deception, college life away from parental scrutiny and an interesting detection of crimes.

  • Blackass

    Furo Wariboko – born and bred in Lagos – wakes up on the morning of his job interview to discover he has turned into a white man. As he hits the city streets running, still reeling from his new-found condition, Furo is amazed to find the dead ends of his life wondrously open out before him.

    As a white man in Nigeria, the world is seemingly his oyster – except for one thing: despite his radical transformation, his ass remains robustly black…

    Funny, fierce, inventive and daringly provocative – this is a very modern satire, with a sting in the tail.
