Meet Macey Kaper

Avery Dalton never planned on becoming the world’s most unreliable narrator of her own life. 

Once a high-powered international businesswoman, now demoted to errand-runner for suits at a computer company, she discovers a strange new hobby: making things up.

One “harmless” lunchtime whopper about hydroponic beets in the bush snowballs into a full deli sideshow. From there, the lies get bigger, bolder, and far too much fun to quit. Avery & her coworker in crime dub it “public lying” — a social experiment that wins laughs, turns heads, and for the first time makes her feel like somebody special.

But what begins as a prank quickly tangles with real life. Her husband Zach doesn’t get the joke. Her coworkers lean in too close. And as lines blur between fantasy and reality, Avery finds herself swept into a darkly comic spiral: the innocent becoming guilty, the fun transforming into nightmare.

The Art and Science of Public Lying is a whip-smart comedy about how a single game of make-believe can topple into chaos — and a drama about the truths we hide, the lies we tell, and the desperate need to be seen in a world that’s stopped listening.

At The Grier School for Girls, rules aren’t meant to be broken—they’re meant to be shattered.

Prestigious. Elite. Untouchable.

That’s the image The Grier School for Girls projects behind its iron gates and ivy-covered walls in the hills of North Carolina. But for Sloan Harper, the school is less a place of refinement and more a gilded cage. 

Rebellious, sharp-tongued, and allergic to authority, Sloan makes it her mission to test every limit, challenge every teacher, and defy every expectation.

Her stunts start off as harmless fun—midnight escapades, elaborate pranks, whispered lies in marble hallways—but when one of her schemes spirals wildly out of control, Sloan finds herself crossing the line from mischievous to criminal. Suddenly, the queen of trouble is facing real consequences: expulsion, scandal, and even a night in jail.

But Sloan isn’t about to go quietly. With her future—and her freedom—on the line, she discovers that beneath the Grier School’s polished surface lies a nest of secrets, rivalries, and betrayals darker than anything she’s ever dreamed up. 

And this time, the trouble she’s in might not be of her own making.

The Grier School for Girls is a sharp, witty, and dangerously addictive tale of privilege, rebellion, and the thin line between innocent fun and catastrophic fallout.
