The Ink Bleeds Truth
Today, Intellectual Ink opens its doors to Butterfly Brooks. Known for her fearless insight and sharp storytelling, Brooks turns the world of urban fiction inside out. Her Red Ink series, written with Thaddeus Kane, is part murder mystery, part industry exposé, and part meditation on what happens when ambition, art, and ego collide.
Bosses, Bullies, and the Butterflies Who Survive Them
Red Ink: Bosses, Bullies & Butterflies introduces Lesli Lyn Faulkner, a Lifestyle Editor and founder of The Kaleidoscope, the internet’s most talked-about urban fiction blog. Through her eyes, readers witness an industry built on talent, tension, and survival. Rivalries flare. Secrets are currency. The truth is always expensive.
Behind the glossy book covers lies a world of politics, competition, and betrayal that mirrors real life in the creative field. Brooks writes with precision and compassion, revealing how power moves through communities that are both creative and chaotic.
Rites, Revenge, and the Weight of Revelation
In the sequel, Red Ink: Rites, Revenge & Revelations, the world she built begins to unravel. A beloved author’s death forces everyone to confront the cost of their choices. Hiram and Georgette Rivers fight to protect their publishing empire while guilt and suspicion pull at every corner of their success. Investigator Geronimo Blackfoot follows a trail that leads beyond motive and into morality itself.
This story moves past the question of guilt and into the weight of consequence. The themes of legacy, accountability, and forgiveness cut deep into the heart of every creative who has ever risked their name for their work.
Butterfly Brooks writes with an unflinching eye. Her work captures the beauty and the bruises of artistic life. She sees the writers, editors, and readers who shape stories and hold each other accountable. Her Red Ink series reminds us that storytelling is a reflection of the world we live in—beautiful, corrupt, and endlessly human.
