My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Nkrumah Mensah , author of the book Anne of Survivor. Nkrumah Mensah: mother of two, lover of Star Trek and Shakespeare, anime enthusiast, and ballroom dancer adds another tagline to her name . . . novelist. Born into a long line of storytellers and with a desire to share her tales with the world, Nkrumah is the first in her family to bring her characters to the written page. In a mystical place called Greensboro, in the zany land of North Carolina, she works in commercial construction by day and toils on her writing passion at night. An English graduate from Mary Baldwin College, Anne of Survivor, begins her epic journey into the world of YA publishing.

In my book review, I stated Anne of Survivor is an amazing young adult historical romance – and despite my age (well past young adult), I couldn’t put this book down!

Anne is a young, privileged girl who simply doesn’t see life in the same way as her parents. When her father punishes her for her behavior toward a potential suitor, Anne leaves her home and ends up working as a crew member on a ship – but not before meeting a young prostitute that she sets on the straight and narrow. Anne has guts and gumption and soon discovers that she more strength than she knew. But what will she do when she realizes she has feelings for her captain?

And what of the captain who is not what he seems? And Anne’s family who finds themselves entwined with Anne’s young friend?

The story has many twists and turns and is the first in a series. A definite must-read.
