Dear Wo Se Ekyir Readers,
As many of you know, I keep this blog because I love Ghana and want to write about the life here, but another key reason why I maintain Wo Se Ekyir... is to keep me writing as I am an aspiring novelist. I'm very pleased to announce that I responded to Ivor Hartmann's invitation to submit a story to StoryTime, which was accepted, and recently launched! I couldn't be more thrilled!
Here's what Ivor Hartmann had to say about it: "ST is very happy to proudly present, Esi W. Cleland and her debut ST story, Choices.
In just 1099 words Esi takes us on a breathless satori of love that leaps to the skies and transcends time/space, there to fly free like Icarus and kiss the rising sun. But as the title suggests, is their love strong enough to out-soar the shears of social conventions?
A bold, vivid and heart-felt story, Choices clearly marks Esi W. Cleland as a most promising new author".
Readers, enjoy, and leave me comments on my StoryTime Page. If you like this story and any of my other works, then you should check out other new fiction by African writers on StoryTime.
Now you are getting the recognition you deserve Esi well done on a very well written ,descriptive and poignant story
