Posted Wednesday, April 21, 2021 5:55 pm Multi award-winning actor and director, Robert X. Golphin, has released his new novella, Cold Night In A Warm Season.
After a devastating loss, a graduate student’s personal relationships and the road to becoming a successful screenwriter are thrown into jeopardy. The unexpected turmoil forces him to reckon with his fear of self-mortality and the mortality of those around him. His deep-seated insecurities, and the power of people’s words (and his own), will rock him to his core.
Cold Night In A Warm Season, set partially in South Carolina, centers on the arts and mental health. Its release coincides with National Minority Health Month and Stress Awareness Month. The story probes self-identity, sparring with destiny, wrestling with internal curveballs and external obstacles, facing detractors, owning your environment, discovering where your heart lies, and determining what matters most in life.

First, there was Breonna Taylor, a Black woman who was fatally shot in her Louisville, Kentucky, home last March. Then there was George Floyd, whose Memorial Day killing by a Minneapolis officer sparked global protests.
