“Our deepest traumas, held in love, will heal humanity.” This sentence is the quiet heart beating beneath the surface of the Night Dance saga. It’s the compass of the novel series—its essence and direction. The stories I tell revolve around people whose deepest wounds do not heal through fight or repression, but through the power of conscious, radical love. Not a romanticized healing - but a love that doesn’t avoid pain, gives it space, and holds it.
 
In my saga, personal, collective and historical traumas are interwoven with the biographies of my characters, embedded in larger fields of war, colonialism and spiritual forgetting. What transforms these traumas is not revenge, control or amnesia. It’s the decision to face what is: feeling, loving, truthful.
 
“Held in love” here means an active holding - an inner stance in the storm of memory, as old wounds break open and we meet them head‑on. My characters encounter the past, the pain of their ancestral lines, the echoes of older cultures, and realize these wounds are not only personal - they mirror a greater human wound.
 
So Night Dance also shows that true healing is never only individual. When a human being begins to hold their pain in love, it touches a collective field. It changes relationships, families, societies - perhaps even history. In this sense, my saga is an invitation: to return, to remember, to embrace pain in love - and to the possibility of a new humanity.

Night Dance - The Sleeping Phoenix (Book 1)

What if the wounds within you are older than your own life?

Zayla is a British medium. Logan is a Lakota man, raised between the reservation and the world of global power. When their paths cross, something breaks open—something larger than themselves.

Across three continents, nine people are connected. In their relationships, their fears, and their guilt, something persists that began long before this life. What was denied for generations begins to rise to the surface: old pain, hidden entanglements, and love that knows no bounds.

Zayla and Logan, alongside those who stand with them and those who stand against them, draw ever closer to what connects them all. With every encounter, it becomes harder to suppress the nameless longing—and clearer where it leads.

Night Dance is a story about what lives on within us, about love in the face of pain, and about healing that begins when we stop turning away from the darkness.

Night Dance: Phoenix Rising 

!! Spoiler warning if you haven’t read Book 1 !!
 

Spanning Sydney, London, and the Great Plains, Zayla and Logan are drawn into a story shaped by memory, vision, and the courage to live their own truth.

Six years after seeking refuge in Glastonbury, England, Zayla finds herself caught between three forces: the schemes of her child’s father, her enduring love for Logan, and her bond with Deimos—connections that echo across lifetimes. As old wounds rise to the surface, she faces a painful choice: surrender to her desire for revenge or choose forgiveness once more.

Logan returns to Australia, where he and his adoptive brother take control of their father’s media empire. But when his grandmother asks him to join Zayla and Travis in searching for the grave of the Black Wolf Chief, the path ahead begins to shift. Logan must decide what matters more: loyalty to those he loves—or the power within his grasp.

Shortly before the turn of the millennium, reading Clark Wissler’s description of the Lakȟóta Night Dance (Haŋwáčhipi) inspired the title of my tetralogy. The saga is not only about bringing collective and individual shadows to light, but also about ancient soul‑bonds and the power of the heart - so the title resonated on many levels.

“Night‑Dance… The members were unmarried… As the songs for this dance were sung, a man would rise and dance with a present which he then presented to one of the young women… At the close a feast was made.” - Clark Wissler (1912)


“Haŋwáčhipi - Night Dance… they would get together and dance almost all night long… they usually danced holding each other in the arms (men with women).” - Lakota Dictionary (2011)
