Friends & Fiction with Tia Williams

On this episode all four of our fabulous hosts — Kristy Woodson Harvey, Patti Callahan Henry, Mary Kay Andrews & Kristin Harmel — interviewing our Featured Author of the Month, Tia Williams, to hear all about her new book, our F&F Pick for February, A LOVE SONG FOR RICKI WILDE. Join us as we discuss Tia’s highly-anticipated follow-up to her NYT bestselling Reese's Book Club pick DEVEN DAYS IN JUNE. This enchanting love story features a free-spirited florist and an enigmatic musician who are irreversibly linked through the history, art, and magic of Harlem, and has been praised for its “dazzling prose” by the New York Times, and predicted as “one of your most memorable reads of 2024” by People. We hear from Tia all about the hints of magic sprinkled through this novel, her research into the Harlem of today and its renaissance era of the 1920s, the importance or representing black excellence and black love stories in mainstream literature, and even her dream casting choices should this book be adapted for the screen.
