I’m good thanks #booksky

~6 weeks ago I started writing Iron & Ivy. ~25k words of fae prince meets bounty hunter, enemies to something far more dangerous. Book 1: First draft with editor Book 2: 14,453 words in and climbing ADHD makes focus impossible some days. Other days I’m unstoppable. Riding that wave. Let’s go.

Currently reading: Serving Him by L.M. Somerton I was looking for some high-heat dark romance with some sub/dom play. I just started but so far I’m intrigued by the whole concept of the Retreat series. Can’t wait to dive deeper. 😈 What are you reading this week? Always looking for recs.

Let’s talk enemies-to-lovers in fantasy romance. What’s your favorite example? What makes it work for you? I’m working on my own take—bounty hunter meets fae prince, neither trusts the other, everything goes sideways. And that’s just book 1. Tell me your favorites. I need more books for my TBR.

A line from Book 1 (working Title: Iron & Ivy): “Not one actual lie. Just truth shaped like a blade, hidden until it struck.” Fae prince. Bounty hunter. June 2025. #WritingSnippet #MMRomance #ComingSoon

ADHD writing life:  This weekend I wrote about 3,000 words. Yesterday I celebrated 9k words into Book 2. Today so far. I’ve made a couple tweaks to what I wrote yesterday, and then stared and the screen for 2 hours straight. The creative brain does what it wants. I’m just along for the ride.

Writing update: 9,533 words into Book 2 in just 2 weeks and the enemies-to-lovers tension is ALIVE. My fire fae prince knows their duty, but my ice prince is having a rough time of it. Looks like all’s going according to plan. 😈 How’s your week going? #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #MMRomance

New here. I’m Ronin Black, and I write gay dark fantasy romance. Currently working on Book 2 of The Fae Court Chronicles while Book 1 is looking forward to a June launch. Morally gray fae. Political intrigue. Enemies who become lovers (slowly, painfully)
