Stitched in Red
The LoveCat Chronicles: Series I — Book I
by Joshua Morris
Before some wounds can heal, they must first be seen. Stitched in Red is a deeply emotional story about connection, resilience, and the people who change us forever — a reminder that being broken does not make us unworthy of love.
Some roommates are chosen. Some are sent. Timothy St. Clair has spent his life learning how to disappear — pressed collars, careful smiles, a stillness that keeps people from noticing what he really is. He feels everything. Everyone's pain, everyone's fear, everyone's grief, pressing against his ribs like a second heartbeat he never asked for. Karza doesn't want a roommate. She wants a locked door and a reason to stop trusting people before they give her one. She's spent years turning her wounds into armor — sharp edges, sharper words, and a past she'd burn the world to keep buried. Neither of them wanted this dorm room. Neither of them wanted each other. But some things aren't a coincidence. As the walls between them start to crack, Timothy and Karza discover that the thing pulling them together is older than either of them — and far more dangerous than either of them is ready for. Because in the quiet corners of Fullerton, something has been watching. Waiting. And it doesn't care how carefully either of them has learned to hide. STITCHED IN RED is the debut novel from author and illustrator Joshua Morris — a story for the intensely empathetic, the wounded protectors, and everyone who has ever loved too hard in a world that told them not to. Featuring original artwork by the author throughout. "Even stitched together, a heart can still save lives."
Reviews
“Timothy and Karza were introduced to each other in a quirky way, showcasing differing personalities that may not have fit like a glove at first glance, but attracted like opposites, leading them to develop a bond that only two people with shared experiences could cultivate... Both of these characters have been expertly and carefully developed over the course of the story, and they combined leave a much-anticipated adventure to be immersed in.”
— Donovan Hilaire
“What I think Joshua Morris is conveying with Stitched in Red is much more than a story about two college students—it's about trauma, healing, and finding someone who truly sees you for who you are. The relationship between Timothy and Karza felt genuine because it was built on trust, honesty, and helping each other grow instead of trying to "fix" one another. The writing is emotional and sometimes intense, but I appreciated that Joshua wasn't afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve. The message that we're already whole people who simply become stronger when together really stayed with me. If you're looking for a fast-paced thriller, this isn't it. But if you enjoy stories with heart, hope, and memorable characters, I think Stitched in Red is well worth reading and you can gain much more insight on the perspective of relationships reading it.”
