The Middle Daughter and Grace

Grace is out today in the UK!! I am feeling like an older sibling. And like any older sibling, I wish Grace lots of success, lots of readers and everything good @chikaunigwe

Some good book news to end the year: The Middle Daughter is a finalist for the Townsend Prize (previous winners include Alice Walker and Ha Jin). Ephraim's wickedness gets more blasting from more readers!!!! #themiddledaughter

In a country obsessed with women's fecundity, & adoption isn't very popular, scams like this will continue to thrive, as will baby factories like Nani's mother's in The Middle Daughter @chikaunigwe ):

@TheMidDaughter You are already on my shelf. Soon, I will summon you and dance between your lines.📚❤️

Happy Paperback Publication Day to Me!!!!! Have a drink and a slice of cake on me :)

Make sure that your writing encourages empathy with your characters, not sympathy for them. The latter is telling rather than showing. #WritingCommunity #writingtips

Opened an old file and the first line of an earlier draft of the novel is Nani thinking this: "The heart is a muscle and mine is strained. A line from a song? A line from a poem mostly forgotten?" I am glad I got rid of it :)

@FilifreE1 @chikaunigwe thank you

@chikaunigwe @TheMidDaughter Congratulations

Grateful and honored to see @TheMidDaughter on this list!!

If writing for you is keeping up with what is trendy, you’ll end up always chasing shadows. Write the stories that demand you write them, the ones that haunt you. Write them bravely. Respect the process. #writingtips
