Dr. Kwei Quartey is medical doctor, born in Ghana and raised by an African American mother and a Ghanian father.  He has lived and practiced medicine in California (where he is the lead physician for an urgent care clinic) for a number of years; he wanted to be a writer since he was a young boy and writes in the morning before going to work.  Writerscast host David Wilk interviewed Kwei during a recent visit to New York where he was appearing at Book Expo America.  Dr. Quartey talks about his writing, the background for his new novel, a complicated and beautifully written mystery set in contemporary Ghana.  Wilk and Quartey explore many aspects of the writing life as it has emerged for this first time novelist.   Wife of the Gods is an impressive debut by a new talent, and as the first in a series based on his compelling main character, Inspector Darko Dawson.  This interview should be an equally compelling introduction to the author and his work for many readers.
