Fifty shades of white: the long fight against racism in romance novels Read moreThe ongoing controversy has its roots in a Twitter conversation in August 2019. She wrote a series of tweets commenting on a sample of Davis’ 1999 historical romance novel, Somewhere Lies the Moon. At another point in her complaint, Davis referred to the lost contract as “a three-book contract that had been promised to me”.

Davis said she still believed it was fair to say that she lost a three-book contract because of Milan’s tweets.
