The Name of Red
by Beena Khan
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Literary Fiction
Two strangers on the same path.
Survivors. Companions.
They will be each other’s salvation.
On a rainy, winter night, a mysterious woman in a red dress seeking shelter comes inside the restaurant
Kabir was busy working in —primarily the bar— and night after night, drink after drink, she comes back to
the same spot. That is where he sees her for the first time.
Hundreds of patrons around her try to speak with her daily, but she dismisses them. It appears she
wants to remain in a blissful peace alone with her booze and books. After seeing the mysterious woman
reading a book, and because of his shy nature, Kabir gains entrance into her life by anonymously leaving
books with notes for her.
The Name of Red is the story of two strangers, two different personalities who meet on a winter, rainy
night who challenge each other. They have a connection which blossoms into a friendship due to their
fondness of books. But they both have secrets that can bind them together or threaten their newfound
relationship forever.

I
had a dissociation once due to my illness. The book is inspired by a
fantasy that I had during a short period of time.
What
can we expect from you in the future?
The
duet novel of The Name of Red is releasing on July 15, 2020.
It’s called The Weight on Skin, and it’s on pre-order.
Do
you have any “side stories” about the characters?
All
of the characters in my book will get their own book in the series.
Can
you tell us a little bit about the characters in The Name
of Red?
The
main character of the story is Kabir. He’s a humble, shy, reserved,
and submissive man. He meets a woman who goes by the name Red. She is
funny, bold, and more dominating. The bartender is Aryan who is
Kabir’s close friend. There is also Nadia and Samar, the twins who
are also part of his squad. This is not an erotica novel, it’s a
novel about trauma and learning to heal from it.
How
did you come up with the title of your first novel?
I
didn’t have a name for the heroine until halfway through the story,
that’s where the title comes in, The Name of Red.
Who
designed your book covers?
Her
name is Les. She’s a German book cover artist. She is amazing!
Are
your characters based on real people or did they all come entirely
from your imagination?
The
hero is based on my husband. The heroine is based on me.
Have
you written any other books that are not published?
I’m
currently working on a fictional project about an elite academy
besides this series. It’s currently a work in progress.
