** A NEWSLETTER EXCLUSIVE**
I’ve teased and talked about my upcoming novel, Losing Sight, for months now. It is my new traditionally published novel with Generous Press, the romance-focused imprint of Row House Publishing. They are dedicated to publishing lush, romance-focused books written by BIPOC and marginalized voices. I am so honored that my book will be the first, full-length romance offering for the press.
Well, without further ado, here is the cover! And as my newsletter subscribers, you get to see it it first.
It is absolutely gorgeous. Shout out to, Mlle Belamour the artist behind many covers including Talia Hibbert’s YA debut, High Suspicious and Unfairly Cute and a super successful collab with Target. Also, shout out to my publishers, Elaina and Amber, who allowed me to have so much input on how the cover should look. They listened and they really took things to heart. It was so refreshing to be part of the process. That is what makes Generous Press such an amazing publishing house to be a part of!
So what is Losing Sight about, you ask? Here’s the official synopsis:
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.
Losing Sight will be available on February 11, 2025, just in time for Valentine’s Day :) Amazon and other retailer Pre-Orders are available HERE.
