Leslye Penelope creëert verhalen die zich verdiepen in fantasy en paranormale romantiek, en dompelt lezers onder in werelden die uit haar verbeelding zijn voortgekomen. Haar schrijven wordt gekenmerkt door een uniek vermogen om droomachtige visioenen te versmelten met tastbare realiteiten, waarbij ze diepgaande thema's onderzoekt via een kenmerkende verhalende stem. Met een achtergrond die creatieve kunsten en technologie combineert, weerspiegelt haar proza vaak een verfijnd begrip van narratieve structuur en digitale esthetiek. Het werk van Penelope nodigt lezers uit op reizen door complexe innerlijke landschappen en de krachtige krachten die het lot van haar personages vormen.
