I hope you’re having a great week and that you’ve got something fun or relaxing planned for the weekend. I’m behind on the super secret project I’m working on, but I’m squeezing in some time with the grandkiddos this weekend. How about you? What are your plans for the weekend?
Then, next week, I’m excited that I get to chat with Tia Williams, the New York Timesbestselling author of Seven Days in June, at a reader event in Winston-Salem NC, hosted by Bookmarks—one of my favorite independent bookstores. If you’re an easy distance from Winston-Salem, I’d love it if you’d join us on February 12th at 6:30 PM.
We’ll talk about Tia’s latest release, A Love Song for Ricki Wilde, her career, and a variety of other topics. Tickets for the event are $23 (plus taxes & fees) and include a paperback copy of A Love Song for Ricki Wilde. Tia’s books will be available for purchase at the event, as will paperback copies of my Love & Music Suite: Spin the Block, Never the Right Time, and More Than Friends. A booksigning will follow the seated program.

In this sexy modern-day fairytale from the New York Times bestselling author of Seven Days in June, a free-spirited florist and an enigmatic musician share a soul mate connection told through the history, art, and the magic of Harlem.
Leap years are a strange, enchanted time. And for some, even a single February can be life-changing.
Ricki Wilde has many talents, but being a Wilde isn’t one of them. As the impulsive, artistic daughter of a powerful Atlanta dynasty, she’s the opposite of her famous socialite sisters. Where they’re long-stemmed roses, she’s a dandelion: an adorable bloom that’s actually a weed, born to float wherever the wind blows. In her bones, Ricki knows that somewhere, a different, more exciting life awaits her.
When regal nonagenarian, Ms. Della, invites her to rent the bottom floor of her Harlem brownstone, Ricki jumps at the chance for a fresh beginning. She leaves behind her family, wealth, and chaotic romantic decisions to realize her dream of opening a flower shop. And just beneath the surface of her new neighborhood, the music, stories and dazzling drama of the Harlem Renaissance still simmers.
One evening in February as the heady, curiously off-season scent of night-blooming jasmine fills the air, Ricki encounters a handsome, deeply mysterious stranger who knocks her world off balance in the most unexpected way.
Set against the backdrop of modern Harlem and Renaissance glamour, A Love Song for Ricki Wilde is a swoon-worthy love story of two passionate artists drawn to the magic, romance, and opportunity of New York, and whose lives are uniquely and irreversibly linked.
