PSA for the KU members: Fire & Magic is waiting for you. 🐉🔥 It's there now, but I can't promise it'll be there always, so if you've been putting it off, stop that. Go grab it. You're welcome. 😄 #booksky #fantasyromance #dragonromance #romancereads #KUReads

A reader messaged me just to tell me I'm too damn cute not to have a picture with every single one of my books and I think that's the most important feedback I've received all year. 😂 I mean… who am I to argue with that? 📸✨ #booksky #selfietime #readersky #Indieauthor

My books are now available at bookshop.org. bookshop.org/beta-search?...

Have you ever fought your way out of a bad dream, woke up, then drifted back off to sleep, only to be dropped right back into that dream? Like your brain saved the checkpoint? 😭 She was on some fkk ish last night. 😩

"One thing I’m actively working on is my deep register. I go deep to voice the male characters, and sometimes... it goes a little too deep. I laughed at myself more than once during playback." #booksky #narrator #indieauthor open.substack.com/pub/yvonneni...

Just finished another story in the Dragon Queen series! Now comes the fun dilemma. Do I release it wide or do an exclusive run through my website first? I'm leaning toward a website exclusive launch... which also gives me the perfect opportunity to drag y’all over to my site. 😄 Stay tuned! #booksky

Had to split up a very chunky chapter. Final chapter dropping this weekend. yvonnenicolas.substack.com/p/chapter-se...

Did some narrating today and I can’t get the country out of my voice no matter how hard I try. 😭

The Author ✨ The First Page 📖 The Cover 📚 Saw my fellow authors, having fun with this trend, so I had to jump in. This novel is my love letter to Black cosplayers and gamers—the creatives, the dreamers, the ones who show up boldly in every space. #booksky #fantasyromance #indieauthor

Grammarly has taken it upon itself to name my chapters...and I kind of love it. #authorsky

Finally getting a handle on Shopify. Spent the better part of yesterday setting up my website and store. Got my BookFunnel linked up so the move is officially happening. Thank God I’m good at learning curves, ‘cause this could’ve been a headache.

Created my new thumbnail. I’m treating my YouTube channel like the creative space it deserves to be—voice work, storytelling, behind-the-scenes moments, and growth in real time. This is me showing up consistently and on purpose. Let’s see where it goes. #readersky #indieauthor #booksky

Feels strange to promote my books while the world is spiraling. But I like to think my stories give people a small escape from our dark reality. #booksky

*clears throat* Just a reminder... Fire & Magic is for you if you love: 🐉 dragons with attitude 🔥 magic tied to emotion ⚔️ enemies-to-lovers tension 💋 slow-burn heat that snaps Available now on Kindle Unlimited. #booksky #fantasyromance #dragonromance www.amazon.com/Magic-Fantas...

“When the world is on fire, all we can do is be the rain. So eventually, we become the flood.” ~Lynae Vanee

🔥 FIRE & MAGIC IS LIVE 🔥 It’s finally here. Dragons. Magic. Danger. And bond that refuses to be denied. Fire & Magic is officially available today. And yes, it’s in KU. Thank you to everyone who preordered, supported, cheered me on, and believed in this story. #booksky #fantasybooks

3 days until the Fire & Magic release. “You shouldn’t look at me like that,” he growled. She quirked a brow. “Why not?” “Because I don’t know how gentle I’ll be.” “Silly dragon. Who told you to be gentle?" Yeah… the tension is illegal. 🔥 January 16th. We’re almost there. #booksky

I LOVE writing, but I hate promoting my books. This ish is hard. 😩

4 days until Fire & Magic is unleashed. This story has: • dragons who don’t know how to behave • magic that answers emotion • tension that snaps instead of fades • and a forbidden bond that changes everything January 16 is almost here! 🐉 If it’s not on your TBR… this is your sign. #booksky

So many Black women are starting their natural hair journeys, and I love to see it. Just remember…water and leave-in conditioner are your best friends. 💁🏾‍♀️

Ending the year grateful. Starting the next one with dragons and fire. 🔥🐉 Fire & Magic releases January 16. Preorders are live. Cheers to new beginnings and stories that light the way. 🥂🐉 #Booksky #fantasyromance

Cowboy for Sale is a new MM Romance! New in December: M/M Romance Releases here: books.bookfunnel.com... #BookSky

Bought a new planner and a fresh set of pens I didn’t need. Creativity and productivity is officially loading for 2026.

Georgia girl, if I wanted a warm holiday season, I would’ve stayed in Florida. 😭

On top of prepping a new release and mapping out next year, I’ve officially decided to leave GoDaddy. It’s time. Honestly… it’s BEEN time, but I was afraid to start over. I no longer have that fear. Onward and forward. #booksky

I think it’s finally time for me to bid GoDaddy adieu. The thought of learning the ins and outs of a new hosting platform is low-key stressing me out… but I’ve definitely outgrown GoDaddy.

🔥 PREORDER IS LIVE! 🔥 Fire & Magic is officially up for preorder, and my heart is in my throat because I’m nervous and excited. Alysa’s power is awakening. An ancient dragon is done hiding. And the world is not ready for either of them. Releases January 16, 2026 #booksky #fantasyromance

This is your reminder to escape into fantasy. Sometimes it’s the only thing keeping me sane. #booksky #authorlife #indieauthor #fantasyromance

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 🍂 Just wanted to say how grateful I am for all of you. Thank you for riding with me, supporting my stories, and bringing such good vibes to this journey. I hope your day is full of great food, good drinks, peace, and belly-aching laughter. 😘

Going thru it yet again. Fingers crossed I have a great release day. Announcement coming soon. Happy Saturday. #fyp #booksky #authorsky #indiesuthor

I’m deep in edits for Fire & Magic, and I’d forgotten just how psychotic, arrogant, petty, and deliciously sexy the dragon shifter is in this story. #booksky

My son just discovered that people used to pass out at Michael Jackson concerts. 😆 He watched one clip and said, “So bro just stood there…and half the stadium fainted?? What kinda superpower is THAT?” 😂

Normalize unfollowing and unsubscribing from people who no longer meet your expectations. You don’t need a dramatic exit speech or a smear campaign on social media. Just click, close, and carry on.

My goal is to narrate my own books. I’m still wading my way through this process and learning a ton as I go. Every step’s a new lesson, but I’m convinced the right app will make this whole journey smoother. 🎙️✨ #booksky #voiceover #narratorlife #indieauthor

Just boarded my flight to Japan, and seeing so many Black folks on the plane just makes me smile. ✈️🤎😁 #japanbound

I’m so glad I've reached the point in my life where protecting my peace is non-negotiable. ✨

I was scrolling Threads and saw a wild number of posts about people being walked out of their jobs over something they posted online about recent events. Just a reminder, if we can see it, so can your employer. Stay smart and stay safe, folks. #fyp

My braider told me NOT to use mousse because it’ll mess the style up over time. 😅 But I’ve seen so many videos where women with Boho braids swear by mousse! For those rocking Boho braids, what’s your go-to method for keeping them detangled? #braidstyles

Finally got my boho braids and sis got me looking like a mermaid. #fyp #bohobraids

Writing a super steamy love scene while my braider is peeking over my shoulder was the highlight of my day. 😅 #booksky

Today’s vibe: roll up, anime marathon, and forget responsibilities. Reality’s vibe: these books are sitting here, giving me side-eye. 😅✍🏾 UGH, deadlines. #booksky

Finally got Jinx all set up, and I’m in love. 💜 Filmed a little video while putting her together. I’ll post it tomorrow. #fyp #jinx #jinxarcane #arcaneleagueoflegends #leagueoflegends

Spent the entire day packing book boxes and filling orders. I thought it’d only take a couple of hours… but then I decided to add a handwritten note to each one. Now my orders are full of love, and my hand is full of regret. 😫✍🏽📦 #booksky #fyp

I try not to lean too heavily on dictating, but it makes life so much easier. And since I’m juggling 3 books right now, I need all the “easy” I can get. But I’m feeling a little lazy taking this route. 😅 And yes, I dictated this message. #booksky #authorlife

Unfortunately, this is where we are headed... shameful...🥺

He already had a feeling that she was powerful, but hearing how easily she could manipulate perception honestly scared him. Chapter Five is up and ready to be devoured. 📖 #booksky #darkfantasy #earlyaccess open.substack.com/pub/yvonneni...

I reduced the heat level on this one to really focus in on the love and the choices we make to find peace. Don't misunderstand, the story is sexy and sensual. Mae's reaction to him, the connection, the understanding, is simply...beautiful. amzn.to/4jpH7Cf books2read.com/u/mV58ll
