Unabridged: Bubbles with Tia Williams
For today’s Unabridged we’re joined by bestselling novelist Tia Williams to talk about her newest book Seven Days in June, in which two rendezvousing writers rekindle a 15 year-old flame. We discuss the inspiration behind the book, the rules of romance, and being Black in romantic fiction. We also hear how Tia’s writing skills as a magazine beauty editor translated to novel-writing.
