Look at my gorgeously eerie book baby 😍😍😍

The one thing no one will ever warn you about being an author is that there are words you will irrationally hate with all the burning passion of a thousand fiery suns. And the more you write the longer that list gets.

Coffee and edits in the early morning hours because if it's not one project it's another 😅

IDK, just pretend I said something hilariously entertaining, please and thank you.

She's a ten but she'll manipulate men into killing kings because she's fanatically devoted to Fate

Demon: In exchange for your soul I can make your books famous Me: Go on Demon: Millions of copies sold Me: And? Demon: Loved by the world many times over Me: But? Demon: You yourself will never be perceived. Me: Demon: Me: So, is there like a downside to this whole thing or...?

So...is there a quicker way to go through and follow people back rather than one by one by one through my notifs? Because I do not have time for that 🤣

Is Bluesky feral for Gothic Horror? 👀

Greetings to followers new and old! I’m Dani, they/them, author of queer fantasy (mostly romance) & avid reader of lesbian & transfem SFF. See what I’ve been reading on GR: www.goodreads.com/author/show/... Check out my books (available wide): books2read.com/ap/nAApPp/Da... Nice to meet you! 🌸

Just me wandering in to drop this quote from my 1920s urban fantasy WIP, The Butterfly Necromancer

Question for, well, anyone who can answer. If a character kidnaps another character and then the kidnappee turns around and kidnaps the kidnapper, is that a reverse kidnapping trope?

Y'all, Y'ALL, the feeling when a reader DMs you to gush about your book literally cannot ever, and I mean never ever ever, be topped.

Romantic fantasy readers who enjoy slow-burn enemies to lovers, The Sparrow and the Oak Tree by @villainleaning.bsky.social should be your next read! #booksky 💙📚 www.behindthepages.org/post/the-spa...

All my characters seem to live by the motto "Well it seemed like a good idea at the time" and I've just had to make peace with that fact.

Oh nothing, just me sharing quotes from Revenant, my Gothic horror meets gaslamp fantasy paranormal suspense (say that five times fast) coming from the one and only Quill & Crow Publishing House in 2025. 👀

I'm just a girl, standing in front of my characters begging them to follow the plot I haven't outlined.

Today is Toast's birthday! And as a present to her, she asks that y'all buy lots and lots of copies of my fantasy romance retelling of Tristan and Isolde, The Sparrow and the Oak Tree, so that I can in turn buy her lots and lots of treats.

Did you know that when one of those tires on a semi explodes it's REALLY FUCKING LOUD? Anyway, I now know that I have the mental and emotional constitution of a god damn rabbit.

All the romances in my books are just various versions of these couples

If you like banter, capable heroines, secret cinnamon roll LIs, Arthurian myth retellings, and Fae with no courts, have I got the book for you

I'm having to sit through a webinar on updates done to a software we use and how to navigate it in the future. Guaranteed I'll forget all of this five minutes after the presentation is done.

Please allow me 7-10 business days to respond to your replies on my posts because I'm constantly forgetting I'm on this app now.

Me trying to decide if skimming the Wikipedia page counts as enough research for my next retelling project

Food truck tacos are the best tacos

Enemies to lovers with: Forced proximity Instalove/Instalust Secret cinnamon roll LI He falls first Only one horse (and an interfering one at that) Also includes: Elemental magic Arthurian myth retelling Hordes of the undead She saves him

I feel like most authors don't rly want Stephen King levels of stardom, where we can't grab a meal w/o people crying at the table. Most of us just want to support our families, afford health care, have 30 people show up to a book signing, and write books that mean something to those who need them.

Not only are these series chock-full of disaster characters they also contain ✅ Found family ✅ Mythology ✅ Well-intentioned kidnapping ✅ Insidious villains ✅ ✨Bad decisions galore✨

I always forget I gotta post shit to stay relevant.

Today in fun with marketing memes #darkfantasy #fantasy #macbeth

My kids have absolutely no clue who Scooby-Doo is and this is how I know I've failed as a parent.
