    About this ebook

    Low Key is the story of Los Angeles detective and Marfan syndrome sufferer, Illy Robin. In 2025, after the self-driving car has revolutionized transportation and forced thousands into homelessness, Illy is hired by billionaire real estate tycoon Randolph Royce to find his daughter, Dorothy. As a reward, Royce sets Illy on a string of blind dates but every girl winds up dead the next day after the date. Suspected by police for his involvement, Illy must clear his name and find the real killer. Perverting the archetypes of our childhood-favorite animated films, Illy sees every girl that he fancies as a different Princess, showing us the raw streets of Los Angeles through “Disneyfied” eyes.

      Feb 1, 2024

      As a writer, it’s rare when you can pinpoint the moment a whole book series came to you. This is probably why so many authors hate That Question. You know, the ‘Where do you get your ideas from?’ one, which is often so hard to answer. But with my ser
