Wishing my friend and fellow author, Tati Richardson, a very happy release day! Tati's latest novel, LOSING SIGHT, is out now. Keep reading for all the deets on this steamy rom-com!
What if a mysterious pair of glasses helped you to see
life—and love—clearly?
Sports reporter Tanika “Nikki” Ryan is at the top of her game until she isn’t. Squinting at the teleprompter and flubbing lines, she loses her coveted Thursday Night football spot to a younger, less qualified woman—and that’s only the start of her troubles. After her impaired sight leads to an accident nearly costing her life, Tanika finds herself in the office of handsome widowed optometrist Gideon Miles. There, mysterious circumstances lead Tanika to an enchanted pair of glasses, changing her world—and Gideon’s—forever. With help from her “boss chick village” and a bit of magic, Tanika finally learns to see the love that’s right in front of her eyes.
In this high-heat and hilarious rom-com that harkens to the golden age of Black romance, celebrated novelist Tati Richardson proves life is sweeter after age forty, and gives readers of all ages a reason to believe in second chances.
Tati Richardson is a fiction writer, podcaster, and (sometimes) blogger from the eastside of Atlanta, Georgia. As a kid, Tati’s mother instilled in her a love of books and she started reading full sentences by the age of 3. It was a trip to the library at age 14 with her mother that she discovered the world of romance in copies of historical romances by Beverly Jenkins.
After graduating Magna cum Laude from Clark Atlanta University with a B.A. in English, Tati received her Master of Arts in English (Editing and Publishing) from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro in 2003.
Although she has spent the last 20 years working in higher education administration, Tati's real passion has always been writing. She started a successful and popular blog in 2008 (SexandtheSouthernBelle.com), chronicling her adventures as a single, black woman dating in Atlanta. In 2018, Tati decided to pursue the craft professionally, writing inclusive contemporary and romantic comedies centering Blackness, queer-identity, and body-positivity. In December of 2019, Tati started the podcast, Romance in Colour with her friend of nearly twenty years, Dr. Yakini Etheridge. Initially a place to talk all things Hallmark and holiday movies, Romance in Colour has evolved into a podcast dedicated to the discussion the intersection of race and romance in movies, television, books, and all facets of pop culture.
Tati lives in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia with her husband and their school-age daughter. When she isn't writing, Tati enjoys watching rom-coms, tattoos, 90s R&B, Southern Rap, crafting fails from Pinterest, sweet tea, Marvel Comics, Wonder Woman, and collecting “the perfect shade of red” lipsticks. (She’s up to 22 so far!)
As always, thanks so much for stopping by! I'll see you next month, when I'll be sharing an excerpt from my upcoming Harlequin Intrigue, PREYED UPON. Until then, enjoy your Valentine's Days!
