I write fiction that sits close to Ghana — highlife on New Year's Eve, a house on a ridge above Cape Coast, a moon that refuses to set. Some of it is gothic. All of it is trying to tell the truth one sentence at a time.

The debut novel
Ohio University Press · Modern African Writing series
A newly hired teacher on a quiet ridge in Cape Coast befriends the strange, brilliant boy next door — a child who calls himself Wolf, answers to no one, and may be the only honest person she knows. Equal parts coming-of-age and gothic fable, The Wolf at Number 4 asks an old question in an unfamiliar house: are we made, or are we born this way?

It's a cool night on the 31st of December 1965. Quincy parks his father's '57 Vauxhall Victor outside the Nirvana bar in Osu, where old friends gather for one last night before leaving Ghana for Britain. But when Lamiokor appears at the car door, the past refuses to stay behind.
Flash fiction
A late-night text thread between two friends, told entirely in timestamps — one of them reaching out, the other not quite hearing it.
