Smoke Signals & Love Songs
Poetry|85 pages|2026
Now Available from the collective
Smoke Signals & Love Songs is a collection of poems written in the quiet spaces between memory, faith, flesh, love, and letting go.
Structured like a mixtape, each piece reads like a track on vinyl — some tender, some raw, some lingering long after the page is turned. These poems explore the moments that stay with us: the love that reshaped us, the prayers whispered when no one was listening, and the memories that return long after the season has passed.
Moving through themes of longing, reflection, devotion, heartbreak, and healing, Smoke Signals & Love Songs captures the emotional echoes of relationships, faith, and the parts of ourselves we carry forward.
Because sometimes love is a melody you never forget. And other times it leaves smoke signals behind.
When Atlanta Was Us
Contemporary Fiction|2026
Some love stories don't end. They just stop being spoken.
Nia thought Atlanta was just a season - a city she passed through while becoming herself. But years later, one unexpected reunion forces her to confront a love she never saw coming and a version of herself she thought she had outgrown.
Jordan wasn't her first love, but he was the one who complicated everything she thought she understood about it. He was the one who slipped past her defenses, entered her life unexpectedly, and left a mark she spent years trying to rationalize away.
Time has changed them. Life has shaped them. And yet, when memory and reality collide, Nia is left to reconcile what was with what can never be again.
When Atlanta Was Us is a raw, reflective story, about timing, emotional truth, and the quiet grief of loving someone who belonged to a different season of your life. Told through letters, internal monologues, and moments heavy with what was never said, this novel explores what happens when the heart meets its history and realizes it can't go back.
Because some cities hold more than memories. They hold the love you never planned for and the version of yourself you had to leave behind.
