I wrote this book for everyone who feels unseen in their pain. I wrote this for those of us who grew up with Disney and Ghibli and felt as if we, too, were made for another world. I wrote this for anyone who loves the thrill of danger among courts, and tension-filled romance balanced on the blade of a sword. That said, this is an adult book for content reasons and difficult topics such as abuse, the perils of obsession, and more (trigger warnings to come).

I describe the first book as a sensual one, not a sexual one. It deals heavily with topics such as lust, obsession, and different forms of attraction. The type of romance you’ll find is a very “who is the ship?!” and “will they / won’t they?” type of tension. There’s a touch of heat, but as with all my writing, I focus much more on the emotional and sensory manifestation of feelings rather than explicit physical descriptions.

Book two will have “cracked door” scenes with physical intimacy on the page, however as before, it will be more focused on emotions rather than explicit details.

Yes! A Dance of Lies will a duology, so two books total. The second and final book will be released July 2026.
