Stand Clear

Autor Scarlet Ibis James
en Limba Engleză Paperback – sep 2026
Stand Clear: Sometimes the life you're meant to live is the one you build when you finally stop running. Julie's life in San Francisco is measured in billable hours and carefully constructed success. Three years ago, she ran from New York, her heart, and Damon-the man who asked her to choose "us" over her career. As an Italian-Nigerian woman who refuses to soften herself for anyone, Julie thought she had left the past behind. But when a crucial board presentation brings her back to the city in December, a fleeting glimpse of Damon across the subway tracks unravels her carefully ordered world. Damon has spent the last three years building a life out of the ashes of his grief. Guided by the memory and spiritual nudges of his late brother, he has opened a successful salsa studio in Washington Square and found love again with his new wife, Sofia. When Julie takes a leap of faith and walks into his dance studio on January 5th, she is confronted not just with the man she left behind, but with the life he has built without her. Blending island sensibility with urban realism, Stand Clear is an emotionally grounded story about what happens after attraction becomes responsibility, the weight of the heritage we carry, and the difficult, beautiful truth of second chances.

Notă biografică

Scarlet Ibis James crafts stories where Caribbean spirits intertwine with Harlem's rhythms, drawing deep from her Trinidadian roots and her life in New York City. Her latest novel, "Scarlet Birthright: What My Father Left Behind" (2025), emerged from her acclaimed collection "Scarlet Yearnings: Stories of Love and Desire" (2024), when readers and characters alike demanded their voices be heard.
Known for weaving intergenerational tales that pulse with soca rhythms and city beats, James explores how love, culture, and destiny reflect across oceans and decades. Her characters navigate the spaces between islands and boroughs, between traditional expectations and personal truth, creating stories that feel like conversations with your boldest friend - the one who understands that sometimes the bravest thing we can do is choose differently than those who came before us.
When not writing about love's many faces, James can be found hunting down the perfect roti in Queens (TrinCiti it is!), swaying to calypso in her Harlem apartment-turned-writing-sanctuary, or collecting stories while people-watching on subways and in parks. She believes every tale holds a touch of ancestral knowing, whether it blooms in the frangipani or poui trees of Port of Spain or sprouts through the cracks of New York City sidewalks.
Her writing celebrates the complexity of Caribbean-American identity, the power of inherited stories, and the courage it takes to break cycles and forge new paths. For James, inspiration flows from everywhere - family histories whispered over morning coffee, steelpan rhythms floating on island breezes when she visits home, and the endless possibilities in her American city built where the spirits of the Wecquaesgeek people still rise.
