Well, I'm losing my damned mind. Bookvault screwed up my special editions for the third time. I am so screwed.

I had the immense pleasure of working with my tattoo artist, Nikki to bring you the Femme Fatale Tarot series starting with Faith from No Sugar Coating It! This stunning card is available exclusively for my Fae Realm Royalty Pa🌲on members (It's the $10 tier!) www.patreon.com/c/djandaq

A Romance author plays... Arcade Spirits! First Bite was a huge hit, so we're tackling another visual novel tonight! www.twitch.tv/heart1lly

A guy who has been pursuing me for about a month... Ummm. Okay.

My friend @dnbryn.bsky.social got mentioned in this! Pick up their books!

Omg I just remembered that Date Everything comes out on Valentine's Day and I cannot wait to stream it.

When men lose interest in a woman (and this is from personal experience, so let's not 'but not all men!' right now), they tend to breadcrumb. A lot. And this is so that when he's lonely and horny again, he can circle back.

My writing partner (boyfriend) and I will be doing our very first Zoom meeting with Patrons on the 22nd! If you'd like to see him swatch and try out the new Romantasy makeup line from Colourpop, you still have time to sign up! #romantasy #indieauthors www.patreon.com/c/djandaq

Stop, this is so cute!!

NOW AVAILABLE TO READ IN THE YLVA SHOP! Thank you ylva publishing for believing in this book. Also: I couldn’t resist getting art done of me with Iris and Lena by heyo its ro! Can I please be carried by muscle mommies? #lesbianromancebooks #monsterromancebooks #womenswrestling

Caught a ban on Tinder and I have absolutely NO idea why. Verified account. Never said anything mean to anyone on there - at all. I mean I did just reject a guy who didn't read my bio that states I'm polyam. And then 2 minutes later bam. Banned. How frustrating.

My 75 year-old mother, bless her, went from reading me to Kimberly Lemming... and then fell straight down the cliff into Vera Valentine and Latrexa Nova's work. Like, that was a very steep cliff. But she's okay! She made the drop and she is OKAY.

Hey, if you're an indie game dev who creates romance visual novels (bonus points if they are weird and have monsters), please let me know? My readers and I love to stream these on my Twitch channel and I'd love to check out yours. (Unless they are too NSFW, then I cannot, sob.)

HIGH KING CAGE HAS SPOKEN 🗡️👑

Dammit. I had a Tik Tok video pop off and it really did affect my income in a positive way. I hate this, because I thought it meant my accounts were healthy again. Nope. Right back into the 100s. I hate gambling like this.

We are going to be streaming Arcade Spirits next on the channel since everyone adored First Bite. That had to be the most entertaining couple of streams I've done. Makes sense considering... I'm a monster romance author. ANYWAY, go play First Bite if you're into sexy vampires!

@peachyaenne.bsky.social I streamed First Bite on my channel the past couple of times and my readers LOVED it. So if you get an influx of new monster fucker followers, that might be why hahaha.

Sinful Sunday!!!! Pinned By Love comes with a spicy exhibitionism scene for your reading pleasure!!! Pinned By Love releases early on February 5 in the ylva_publishing shop and on Amazon and KU on February 12. #monsterromance #lesbianromance #sinfulsunday #spicybooks

I need the pole dance shops to CEASE with their adorable Valentine's Day drops PLEASE.

Hi friends! Today is the last day you can pick up the City Aliens duology before it is gone foreeeever! I'm removing them from my backlist tomorrow! www.amazon.com/Abduction-Se...

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

Me over here, putting down a SINGLE boundary with a guy (and that boundary is not sexting until we, at minimum, meet in person!)... and then said guy getting upset about it. Throws a hissy fit. Oh my god, easiest block ever but c'mon now. This is exhausting!

Hey this isn't to get down on anyone in particular, it's just something that I see happen often (and it's happened to me). If an indie author is talking about how difficult it is, selling their books... (1/2)

We all enjoyed the heck out of First Bite! We got to the third act and stopped - we'll be back on Sunday night to see where things go with Valeria (because yes ofc we had to make it sapphic). Any other visual novels we should try on stream?

Having a little stream of First Bite, a vampire romance visual novel, for the next couple of hours if anyone wants to check it out with me! www.twitch.tv/heart1lly

Blue Sky and Tome have such retro social media vibes to them and I LOVE IT.

Hey all! I'm on Tome now! So if you're there too, you can find me here: tomebooks.com/user/authord...

Victor lookin' miiiighty fine. He's a total daddy shifter and cafe owner from Charmed by the Nixie. You can meet him on our patreon! Art by Egghead Scientist. patreon.com/djandaq

Polyam people REALLY need our own dating app. Seriously sick of Feeld and 99.9% of people using the polyam tag just want a fwb with zero emotional connection whatsoever. It's demoralizing.

I'm going to include some more information about this in February's newsletter. 1. This is the last week to pre-order signed paperbacks of the City Aliens duology for Monsterotica before they are gone forever. 2. So long as my supplier gets the books there on time, I will have 20 extra SEs available

There are so many of you following me! Please drop a little note under this saying hi so I can follow you back! I'm overwhelmed!

Gaming wishlist that I'll never see come true part 1: Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon. As is, on Switch Online. Please. Ocarina of Time remake. HD remake of Diddy Kong Racing.

My City Aliens duology will be unpublished on February 1st. If you are interested in some weird alien peen, aliens who look like gargoyles, tail play, healthy polycules, and the forced proximity trope, check 'em out before they are gone forever! They are both only 99c! www.amazon.com/dp/B0BDX6ZQZ9

Considering three people have asked me if I'm okay today, I should probably do some self reflection or something over the weekend. And clean. I need to do that, too.

The Femme Fatale Monsters is a ???-books planned (no idea how long this is going to go, folks!) monster romance series where SHE is always the monster. And sometimes he is. - Demon - Lagoon creature - Honeybee queen Monsters coming up next: - Nosferatu - Frankenstein's monster Art by Miss Alice Meow

If you are going to Monsterotica this year in Baltimore and you've had your eye on the Femme Fatale Monsters special editions... good news! I'm bringing extras! I'll have 20 sets available. First come, first serve unless you pre-ordered!

As an author who's been doing this since about...2020, 2021 o so... there's that sinking, overwhelming feeling where I feel like throwing in the towel. Because there are limited funds and even more limited opportunities. It almost makes me feel like querying again.

Greetings!!! My name is Elaine J Daniels and I write queer monster romance! When I’m not writing or reading, I’m usually spending time with my friends/partners or puzzling and listening to music. You can find all my important links here: authorelainejdaniels.carrd.co

Instead of relaxing and playing video games like I said I would, I gave the Pat*eon a makeover! There's also an entirely new tier there - 20 slots available if you want swag sent to you in the mail since we needed to do away with our shop recently. www.patreon.com/c/djandaq

Good news - I think I may have found a better supplier for special editions! So with any luck, I will have plenty of extra copies for the Femme Fatale Monsters to sell at Monsterotica in May. Fingers crossed. They'll still have the sprayed edges and pretty foil lettering.

While I look for a more permanent place to promote my Etsy shop (there's a zero percent chance I'm going back to tiktok or instagram during this administration) here's another new valentines design. I took all these pictures with no place to put them. So. Here ya go! 🖤🩷❤️💋 #booksky #romancelandia

Nonbinary and Trans friends, this queer gal's got your back if it's needed. Ready to throw hands.

Having so much fun writing this series! At this rate, probably going to wind up rapid releasing it but we'll see. This is Will, the wereram from the series Tale From the Vale. I'm writing it with my boyfriend! The artwork is done by Egghead Scientist.

Soooo whatcha all reading right now? I've been working on various nonfiction books right now to help me develop my craft. But for fun, I'm reading Shelter Me From Darkness by Katie L. Smith and it is SO. Freaking. Good. It's been a while since I've read such an addictive PNR!

Nothing is going to be changing for me regardless of what TT does, because I'm still shadowbanned on it across all of my accounts. For months now. I could make new accounts, sure. But I just don't have the time or energy when I could be writing instead. Very frustrating.

For those not subscribed to my newsletter, I mentioned in it today that I'll be unpublishing the City Aliens duology. They're both 99 cents right now, but on Feb 1st they'll be removed from Amazon. You still have time to read them in KU or pick them up until then! www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7R6S5Q6
