MARION, OH (MARION COUNTY NOW)—Marion Public Library will host contemporary romance author, Tia Williams on Friday, April 12 to kick off the “In The Author’s Voice” series.
No ticket is needed for this open-house author event. Doors open at 6:00 pm with the program starting at 6:30 pm, and the book signing at 7:30 pm. According to NBC News, Tia Williams “is a writer’s writer with a fashionista twist.” Her debut novel hit the shelves in 2004 with rave reviews. She followed it with a few others that included young adult novels. Her novel Seven Days in June was an instant bestseller just at a time she stated she was ready to give up. The title is in the works to be adapted for a TV series.
Her newest release A Love Song for Ricki Wilde has just hit the stands. This is the fourth contemporary romance for Williams. Though readers may at first think they’ve picked up a historical fiction book, the timeline switches back and forth between the present and the Harlem Renaissance. During Leap Year, as the past and the present collide when the veil between the two worlds is at its thinnest, Ricki Wilde meets and falls for a jazz musician from Harlem of the 1920s.
Stop by Marion Public Library to check out a book by the author before she visits. A selection of her books are displayed just inside the front doors of MPL for easy pickup.
