June_ to adapt for television. The book, just released June 8 by Grand Central Publishing, debuted on The New York Times Best Seller Fiction list. A seductive romance about star-crossed

lovers, the novel follows Eva Mercy, a successful erotica author and the daughter she’s raising on her own in Brooklyn. Unbeknownst to Eva, the love of her life is about to return — and she

hasn’t see him since their affair ended abruptly, fifteen years ago. Chris Coelen, CEO of Kinetic Content along with President and Partner Melissa Myers will team up with producer Will

Packer and Carolyn Newman, Head of Will Packer Media Scripted Television, to adapt the novel for television and executive produce the project. Williams also will executive produce. The

project is the first to be announced since the launch of Kinetic Content’s scripted division last year. Kinetic Content is a reality powerhouse with an unscripted slate that includes hits

for Netflix, Lifetime, ABC, Bravo, Fox, Reelz, E! and HBO Max. Will Packer Media has produced and/or developed scripted programming for networks and streaming platforms such as OWN, ABC,

Amazon, CBS, FX, Nickelodeon, NBC, BET, Lifetime and FOX. WATCH ON DEADLINE “Every so often I get to engage in a project that I am absolutely sure will be a game changer. This is that

project. _Seven Days in June_ is provocative, timely and wildly entertaining, said Packer. “The sexiness, the intensity, the unashamed Blackness makes this an ideal project for us at Team

Packer. Tia is so incredibly talented and Kinetic Content are such perfect partners, this is the right project for the right team at the right time!” Myers adds, “We were blown away by Tia’s

masterful storytelling on _Seven Days in June_ and were passionate about winning the commission, which was sought after by so many in our industry. We are excited about working with Tia and

the team at Will Packer to bring this beautiful and emotional love story to the screen.” Williams also is the author of_ Accidental Diva_ and the _It Chicks_ series. Her book, _The Perfect
