Many of my books explore themes that may be distressing for some readers. I firmly believe in challenging ourselves with the books we read, but I also know that not every book is for everyone, and that some books are best saved for a moment when we’re ready to really sink our teeth into them.
If you choose to proceed with any of my novels, I hope you read with curiosity about experiences or desires that may be different from yours, and compassionate engagement with your own responses.
