This Valentine’s Day, Join LA County Librarian and CEO Skye Patrick and author Myah Ariel for an enchanting discussion of romance, storytelling, and a little Hollywood magic.

Myah will be discussing her debut romance novel, When I Think Of You: It’s been seven years since Kaliya’s whirlwind college romance with Danny Prescott went up in flames. While her passions have stalled, his career is taking off. So when the hot shot director reappears to offer her a job on his next production, it’s a shock to the system. Working with Danny may recapture the intensity of their film school days, but trusting him again won’t come as easily. 

Skye and Myah will be chatting about the importance of and the role that romance novels play in our lives, what it means to be a Black romance writer and to tell Black love stories, and what the current romance renaissance says about us as readers.

Myah Ariel is the author of debut contemporary romance When I Think Of You and the forthcoming No Ordinary Love (Summer 2025). Her early love of movies led her from Arkansas to New York City where she earned a BA in cinema studies from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. She also holds an MA in specialized journalism for the arts from USC Annenberg. For several years Myah worked across multiple roles in the film and entertainment industry before pivoting to work in academia. As a medical mom and a hopeless romantic, Myah is passionate about inclusive love stories.
