New Orleans gave birth to many talents that have blessed the world of entertainment with their creativity. Louie Armstrong, Fats Domino, Harry Connick Jr, DJ Khaled, Peyton Manning and Carl Weathers, just to name a few. Tiye Love has gained that status as a New Orleanian that you need to know. This USA Bestselling Author has created her own universe in literary form, giving life to characters her readers rush to the pages for. We not going to get ahead of ourselves though, let's first touch on the journey it took for Tiye to get here.
As a kid, Tiye fell in love with reading, sneaking in her grandmother's room and reading the old western novels she had on the nightstand. It became an escape for her into another world, something different than the city life she lived in New Orleans. With her baby sister Desia, tagging right along with her, the two didn't know the seeds they were planting. Tiye finally ventured away from the western novels her grandma would read to the more urban novels. She found favorites from the late Eric Jerome Dickey and the talented Dianne McKinney-Whetstone. Tiye enjoyed her readings dearly but never thought of herself as a writer. She went to Florida where she studied Journalism but later graduated with a degree in Clinical Psychology. Tiye started playing around with "wattpad" writing short stories in her spare time and reviews poured in on how talented she was with her stories. She gained a following behind the stories she put together, and the "writer's itch" began. With the release of her first contemporary women's fiction novel "The Endgame", Tiye became a published author. She knew she had a gift when readers couldn't wait until she released a new addition to her collection of works, so the newly found author did nothing but comply to her reader's needs.
"I have read the entire Unforgettable series. Tiye is such a wonderful author, that you get tied up in the book and see yourself in their shoes. You feel their emotions, pain, love, joy, and happiness. Will definitely be reading more of her books."
Tiye's creativity continued to pour out one after another, connecting one thrilling novel to the next until it became a collection of series. Her fan base had their favorites, some loving the "Unforgettable series" and some patiently waiting on the next release from the "Lipstick Diaries series". Tiye never ceased to amaze the faithful following she had and kept the ball rolling. Her intriguing storylines and impressive catalog gained the attention of a bookstore owner. Brown Sugar Book Store | Brown Sugar Cafe' & Books | Houston (brownsugarcafeandbooks.com) made Tiye Love their ambassador. Brown Sugar Cafe & Books was more than just a bookstore and Tiye was able to introduce her other passion to the masses.
Along with creating the alternate worlds her readers so loved, Tiye Love is a practicing Clinical Psychologist, yes Doctor Love. Just kidding, but she really is a doctor though. The bookstore hosted several events and one of the events was a podcast "Da Mind Matters Podcast" (2) DA MIND MATTERS PODCAST | Facebook a podcast that focuses on mental health.
"Sometimes you have to take a moment to breathe and appreciate nature at its finest... #DaMindMatters"
Her name literally became a driving force because of her love for reading and writing but also her love to help the mentally disabled. Tiye juggles two passions and she hasn't skipped a beat. With 38 novels under her belt, she has three more waiting to jump out at her fans. "Unforgettable Time", "Drive Me Crazy" and "Game Pass" are all sitting in the editing room as we speak. Tiye's fluid writing is inspired by everyday life, as she says and her aspirations for her writings are similar to most. She would love to see her stories adapted to TV or the big screen one day, something she's heard from her fans on occasion.
Tiye's been to multiple book events where she's had the opportunity to meet a few of her readers. Her goal next month though is to have her own personal book signing but we're going to have to wait for her to give us an actual date. As for staying up to date with everything Tiye Love, you know The River's Edge Writers got you covered though. Below you will find Tiye's website, you author's page, social media sites and more.
