A short note about my second book.
Scarlet Counterpoints: Stories Beyond First Glance is a provocative short story collection that reimagines the narratives of love, desire, and connection through the voices of men whose lives were first glimpsed in my debut collection, Scarlet Yearnings.
Where the first book celebrated Black women navigating love's complex terrain, this collection amplifies the unsung countermelodies of the men and supporting charactersβpartners, rivals, and unexpected connections. Each story peels back layers of perception, challenging readers to look beyond surface impressions and recognize the nuanced humanity within relationships.
Scarlet CounterpointsΒ is an unforgettable exploration of connection. It reveals that to understand love truly, we must be willing to listen quietly and without judgment.
