This week, we are honored to have author C.M. Barnes @thewritebarnes join Tati on the podcast. She's a wife, mom and engineer who is crafting hot romance and an even hotter series with her Winston Hills trilogy.
About C.M.:
C.M. Barnes is a Black and urban romance and erotica author with a voice as bold as it is tender. Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, she brings both heart and heat to the page through vivid storytelling and emotionally charged narratives. With a background in civil engineering, C.M. crafts her stories with precision—laying the groundwork for characters who reflect the resilience, complexity, and beauty of Black love.
Her writing is inspired by a deep belief that Black women deserve love, happiness, and devotion without having to suffer for it. Her stories celebrate joy, sensuality, and emotional honesty, making space for Black women to be cherished exactly as they are.
When she’s not writing or reading voraciously, C.M. enjoys building intricate LEGO sets and spending quality time with her two children, diving into the things they love most.
