The Stories
At Heart & Soul Beware, we do not write for trends. We write to reveal what is carried, what is hidden, and what refuses to be forgotten.
Books by B. M. Barnes
Heart & Soul Beware publishes reflective literary works exploring truth, identity,
silence, and emotional resilience.
Through contemporary fiction, fantasy, and literary storytelling, these narratives explore emotional complexity, identity, relationships, resilience, grief, healing, and personal transformation.
Four books. Four very different worlds. Each asks what we carry without naming it, what love looks like when it cannot reach, and what becomes possible when silence is finally broken.
Beware: Hidden Truths For those who have ever stood before a mirror and not quite recognized the person looking back.
Diamond Heart, Frozen Souls A queen. A curse. A family learning that love is stronger than the silence it was buried beneath.
Where the Baobab Whispers Six women. One silence. Passed down like an inheritance no one asked for — and one generation deciding to name it.
Heart & Soul Beware: Recipes & Reflections Everyday recipes. Quiet reflections. Ordinary moments that linger long after the last bite.
Salt, Sand and Silence When the ocean herself refuses to move, eight elemental beings must reckon with what it means to carry grief for a world that forgot to ask.
