The Story Behind the Tangled Series

If I had to sum up the Tangled Series, it comes down to one word—choices.

Every character, driven by dreams, fears, desires, and past experiences, makes choices. And choices always carry consequences. Do we ever fully understand them at the moment? Rarely. If we did, perhaps we would choose differently. Most of us decide based on who we are—on what has shaped us so far, and on what drives us. In Tangled Justice, that drive is justice, power, ambition, and loyalty.

When Kasey Landon begins her journey, she is twenty-nine—four years out of law school. For me, personally, thirty was a turning point. Looking back now, I see how much my thirties reshaped me. My beliefs, my views, my sense of self, and the way I saw the world shifted dramatically.

That spirit of questioning, struggling, and growing is at the heart of Kasey’s journey. She is not a perfect heroine. She is flawed, emotional, and scarred. She carries her own fears and hang-ups, yet she refuses to be defined by them. More than anything, she has agency—the luxury and the courage to make her own choices, even when they come at a cost.

That is what the Tangled Series explores: how the decisions we make shape who we become, and how, in the end, every choice leaves a mark.
