On today\u2019s Complicated Conversation we welcome back one of our favorites, New York Times bestselling author, Tia Williams. We discuss her steamy and beautiful new novel, A Love Song for Ricki Wilde, a story about a free-spirited florist and an enigmatic musician who are irreversibly linked through the history, art, and magic of Harlem.\n\nMaking her three-peat appearance on PFW, we chat with her about writing the most un-Tia female protagonist of all her novels (a \u201cchaotic Gemini\u201d); the inspiration behind Ezra, her smoldering and enigmatic male lead (a true attention loving Leo); how the idea for this novel came to her and how she has true confidence in her own voice; diversity in the publishing industry; love, fated soulmates, and the magic all around us; the glamor of the Harlem renaissance; and what it was like to see the literal manifestation of her dreams with the Netflix adaptation of her prior novel, The Perfect Find.\n\nA Love Song for Ricki Wilde is out now and it's magnificent - Tia has done it again!
