Where Worlds Split Under the Moonlight is a YA–adult crossover short story collection that blends contemporary realism with Caribbean and Taíno-rooted spirituality. Kayla Jones explores identity, emotional truth, and the ancestral echoes that shape young adulthood through vivid, intimate stories that sit at the border between the physical and spiritual worlds.
Kayla Jones is a fiction author, entrepreneur, and cultural researcher whose writing explores the intersections of panafricanism, identity, memory, faith, and ancestral lineage. Drawing inspiration from her Caribbean heritage, Taíno linguistic history, Pan-African worldview, and personal spiritual journey, Kayla creates stories that merge the mythic with the modern.
Her work often centers young adults navigating emotional complexity, cultural expectation, and the unseen forces—spiritual, historical, and psychological—that shape their decisions. With a voice that is both introspective and boldly imaginative, she seeks to elevate underrepresented narratives and open doors for readers searching for reflections of themselves in literature.
When she is not writing, Kayla is building creative businesses, researching global culture, and pursuing generational impact across the African diaspora. Where Worlds Split Under the Moonlight is her debut collection.
