Lady Deception

Lady Deception marks an exciting pivot in her literary career with this uplifting and unforgettable New Adult contemporary novel, THE FAIRY COSPLAYER. Serena knows how to make everyone else feel extraordinary. One of Pittsburgh's most beloved cosplay designers, she's built a reputation for transforming fabric into fantasy-and helping countless people discover the confidence to become whoever they've always dreamed of being.
But something broken lies behind the camera and beneath the makeup. When shy college freshman El asks Serena for help creating his first cosplay, an unexpected friendship changes both of their lives. As El struggles to embrace his identity and confess his feelings for the boy he loves, Serena finds herself overwhelmed by online pressure, relentless self-doubt and the exhausting need to be everything for everyone.
With encouragement from a glamorous drag queen Roxxie, Serena must learn that confidence isn't stitched into a costume-and sometimes, the bravest thing you can wear...is your true self. Filled with humor, heart, friendship and unforgettable characters, The Fairy Cosplayer is an uplifting novel celebrating creativity, found family and the courage to live authentically.
