Scarlet in the middle of self-care.

About Scarlet Ibis James

Scarlet Ibis James is a rising voice in contemporary romance. She weaves the vibrant rhythms of her roots in Trinidad and Tobago with the pulse of New York City, which she now calls home.

Her stories, rich with cultural nuance and deeply human characters, explore the intricate dance between love and self-discovery, reflecting the raw and relatable journey of navigating life’s twists and turns.

James’ work is known for its unflinching authenticity; her unapologetically imperfect characters mirror the beauty of real-life complexity. While she may be a romantic at heart, her narratives are anything but predictable, often laced with unexpected humor and a dash of whimsical fantasy that transforms the every day into the extraordinary.

I am a joy-filled woman with grown children, happily married, who loves traveling, dining at fabulous restaurants, and connecting with friends and strangers alike. A natural storyteller who identifies as she/her, I must write — and am always the charmingly loquacious suspect.
