Goodreads asked Tya Marie:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Tya Marie The idea for A Brooklyn Love Affair (ABLA) came from where most of my ideas come from: nowhere. At the time I was posting stories on Wattpad, a community where writers can create stories, and after having very little success in writing mainstream fiction I decided to delve into African American Fiction, which has always been a love of mine. I had a vague outline of what I wanted Vixen to be and her journey, but as I began to write and get feedback from readers I stopped planning and allowed the characters to create their own stories.
