If you’ve ever finished a story and wondered what love might look like after the last line, at second glance, this is for you.

I’m inviting a small circle of thoughtful readers to join me as beta readers for my upcoming short story collection, Scarlet Yearnings: Beyond First Glance.

These stories revisit familiar souls and introduce new ones — grandmothers, lovers, doctors, and dreamers discovering that love, in all its forms, is never static. The settings move from the Caribbean, to North America, Africa and even a future plane. From hospital corridors, beautiful parks, corner shops and quiet courtyards, where forgiveness and redemption might find 'home.'

You’ll receive early access to the twelve new stories before publication and a glimpse into my creative process. In return, I ask for your candid feedback — what moved you, what confused you, what you keep remembering and want to share with someone else.

As a thank-you for your time and insight, you’ll also receive a free ebook copy of my published collection, Scarlet Yearnings: Stories of Love and Desire.

If you love reflective fiction about connection, courage, and second chances, I’d be honored to have you read with me. 💌
