on road to nowhere
these gnarled thorns and angry winds
my companions
yet it is a narrow road
that defines me, ‘cos you are

I’m once again privileged to be spotlighting on my blog a lovely friend, blogger and author, Nana Prah, whom you all know by now. I’m especially excited because Nana is celebrating in grand style the release of her third novel, Love Undercover with a blog tour at the end of which she will be giving away a $44 Amazon or Smashwords Gift Card. (details below). Also from January 1 through to 30, the novel is on sale at only 99 cents. Check that out!
Now, read on…
Title: Love Undercover Author: Nana Prah Genre: Contemporary Romance, Women’s Fiction, Sweet, Multicultural Publisher: Black Opal Books
The last thing she expects is to fall in love with a prison guard…
Hotshot Secret Service Agent, Sarita Cerez is thrown into a medium security prison—for work. Her job is to protect the daughter of the president of South Korea. She never envisioned making friends with illegal immigrants or falling head over heels for one of the guards. Now the clandestine activity, which is integral to protecting her charge, may destroy her only chance at love.
He’s never fraternized with the inmates—until he met her…
Matthew Carter always plays by the rules, which includes maintaining a strictly professional relationship with the inmates in his charge. But when Sarita saunters onto the unit, all bets are off. Her status as a deportee with a permanent ticket to Columbia means they can never be together, but try as he might, this doesn’t stop him from risking his career for her.
He’s a man who values honesty above all else, and she lies for a living. Can two people from such different worlds find any common ground?
As they walked down the first flight of stairs, Sarita’s breath caught when she glanced at him. She missed her footing and would have gone head-over-ass down the steps if he hadn’t grabbed her.The heat emanating from Matt’s body seeped into her. “Thanks. You saved me from a nasty fall.”
“You are so beautiful, Sarita.” His whispered words feathered over her cheek.
She moved forward as his lips came down on hers in a crushing kiss. The impact brought tears to her eyes and a whimper to her throat. He eased the pressure. She took the light pecks as his apology.
She desired his passion over such teasing gentleness. Her hand moved to the back of his head and held him against her mouth, opening for him as his tongue thrust in. She hung onto him for fear of tumbling down the stairs.
Swinging her around, he lifted her onto the railing, wrapping her legs around him. His hardness met the juncture of her thighs. The need to feel more of him suffused her. She rocked her hips and squeezed him closer when he moaned.
The sound of whistling broke through the haze. She eased her feet to the steps and they continued down the stairs as if she hadn’t been about to rip off his shirt.
She held onto the railing so her wobbly legs wouldn’t slide out from under her. She chanced a glance up and saw the camera. How could she have forgotten where they were?
He looked back at the space they’d just vacated and raised an eyebrow. “Blind spot,” he whispered. “Didn’t you know?”

bursting through the mist
silver rays kiss the leaves
ah, the dew, the dew

the light, oh the light
river shimmers at the rays
splendour of spring

Done for Carpe Diem. The idea is to a write a haiku in the same sense, tone and spirit as Lio Sogi’s haiku below. Then the challenge is to write a Troiku based on the haiku we produced out of Sogi’s:
Both grasses and trees
waiting for the moon
dewy evening
My attempt
velvet evening
waiting for the moon
we melt into each other
Troiku
velvet evening
we trace the path
of the shooting stars
2
waiting for the moon
we follow the glow
of fireflies
3
we melt into each other
tracing the outline
of crystal dewdrops

Supplication
in silent despair
their crooked fingers reach out
in supplication
confused at a deaf heaven
casting its fading halo
