I grew up seeing other culturesβ stories and folklore everywhere, but rarely my own. Trinidad and the Caribbean have such rich myths and history. Seeing the foreword in print felt like proof that our stories not only belong on a wider stage, but truly deserve to be there.

There isnβt really a part of the story that hit me that much more than it usually did, because by then I had read and reread and reread and reread and reread. No, the one thing that stuck out to me in print was the foreword.

Surreal, to be honest. Like did I really do this?

Reading was my escape, writing my passion. Looking back at the stories I wrote as a kid, I'm grateful for everyone who told me to keep going. If you're hiding your own talent because you fear criticism, share it anyway. #theboisdepinchronicles #legacyofbois #booksky #caribbeanfolklore

Justin Charles stands holding a copy of his debut novel The Boisdepin Chronicles: Legacy of Bois. He holds the book up toward the camera with a proud, warm smile. The cover features a young man of African descent wearing a wooden bangle thatβs flown by green, against a dark forest background. There is a stag with glowing green eyes in the background
Hello Bluesky! Iβm Justin Charles β and this is my debut novel.
The Boisdepin Chronicles: Legacy of Bois is Caribbean fantasy with folklore, heart, and jumbies.
Proud to finally bring Boisdepin to the world. #theboisdepinchronicles #legacyofbois #papabois #caribbeanfolklore #booksky
