My debut novel - The Orchid of Bliss, is out today! Check out this forbidden romance between a grumpy elf and anxious human! #writingcommunity #indieauthor #debutnovel

If you had the choice between these magical abilities, which would you choose? Casting illusions Healing Invisibility Sleep Magic Well, the elves in my story don't get a choice. They also aren't allowed to fall in love with humans... Without the possibility of prison. #debutnovel #indieauthor

My debut novel is a forbidden romance where 3 elves leave their realm of Veayneri and use their illusion ability to appear as humans so that they can spy on them. Here's a goofy moment where Blaise (the mmc), Penelope and Darius endure trying to understand human stuff. #writingcommunity #debutnovel

My dedication page of my debut novel: "Dedicated to anyone who has ever felt like they needed to earn love. It has always lingered inside of you. Beating through the words you speak, the things you think and in your memories. You have always been enough... because you exist." #indieauthor

Blaise never asked to be an elf born with an ability. Now that he finds himself being tasked with entering the human realm, he'll disguise his elven self and slowly learn more about if humans and elves can co-exist. He may even fall in love too. As unfortunate as it is for him... #writingcommunity

The last paragraph in the prologue of my debut novel-"The Orchid of Bliss." Main Tropes: He sacrifices everything for her She falls first, he falls harder Forbidden love Hidden identity She teaches him it's okay to be soft Mental health rep All characters 28+ #indieauthor #writingcommunity #elves

Thank you so, so much for bringing my characters to life! 🥲 I hope others love the artwork as much as I do! 💜

What other things could you say to your partner when you confess you're in love with them? This is how I had Blaise confess to Stella! 💜 The Orchid of Bliss is written by Ellie Carmen and releases Oct. 10th, 2025! #writingcommunity #indieauthor
