It's here

Subjunctive Mood, the first book in the False Friends series, has finally arrived — and it begins with Ramón.

In the classroom, Ramón is impossible not to watch. He teaches Spanish like a performance: tracing words back through centuries, jumping effortlessly between grammar rules, history and etymology. A walking dictionary with impeccable timing, the kind of teacher who makes even the subjunctive feel oddly entertaining.

But lessons end.

Outside the classroom, Ramón’s attention drifts elsewhere — to accents, to patterns, to the colour green, which seems to follow him everywhere. What looks like precision is something far more personal, shaped by a childhood where emotions were never discussed and observation became second nature.

Then there’s Bianca.

Their connection is quiet, uneasy, and charged with unspoken needs. She has her own problems. Ramón has learned to hide his. Together, they form a question rather than an answer.

Because the subjunctive is the mood of uncertainty — of desire, doubt and what might be true.

And Ramón lives there.

Subjunctive Mood is out now — the first step into the world of False Friends, where every teacher has something to hide.
