Some characters don’t heal by being “fixed” - they heal by refusing the labels people put on them. 👀

Save this if you needed that reminder today. 👉

In Scarlet Shadows, a taekwondo champ with a bad leg, a doctor who lost her sight, and a wild-card best friend keep moving anyway.

Not because they’re fearless.

Because they’re loyal.
Because they’re stubborn.
Because they’ve decided the past doesn’t get the final word.

That hit me hard - especially the part about other people’s poison not being yours to keep.

What label are you done carrying? 👇

00:00Joe, if Scarlet Shadow serves as initiation into the Scarlet Mysteries,
00:04what is a primary spark or feeling you hope lingers with readers long after they turn the final page?
00:10I really hope people can get a laugh.
00:15I hope people can get angry.
00:17I hope people get sad in parts.
00:20And I hope people can acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, part of them is one of the characters.
00:29Maybe they identify as Bean.
00:32Maybe they identify with Scarlet or Michelle.
00:34And at the same time, to know that no matter what society might say about you, that you define who
00:43you are.
