Hi, I'm J. M. Gokool

Love stories set where the Caribbean is home, not a honeymoon.

I'm from Trinidad and Tobago, and the islands run through everything I write, the heat and the food, the liming, the way a place can quietly undo someone who thought he had himself figured out. Where the Fireworks Fall is my debut novel. If you like your love stories patient, sun-warmed, and rooted somewhere real, I think we'll get along.

Where the Fireworks Fall.
Austin came to Trinidad for five days, for his best friend's thirtieth birthday. Then the island, and one guarded woman, made five days feel like nothing at all.
