Hi! Probably a good time for an introduction.

I’m E. I write dark things with hot spice. Dark romance is my bag, but dark romantasy has a piece of my heart.

I have two series currently going—one is a dark fantasy romance, 3 books, with the 2nd releasing 10/28 and the 3rd releasing March 2026. The dark romance series are all interconnected books with Shakespearean twists, that don’t need to be read in order (but should!).

I like hot coffee even when it’s 100+degrees outside. I eat unhealthy amounts of dark chocolate. I can literally cook anything—as long as I’ve tasted it before. So that also makes me a foodie. I taught myself to knit, I garden and I want to own a mini cow—so essentially I’m 87 , in a thirty-something body.

I’m sarcastic and witty and I’m the biggest cheerleader you will ever find. I will shout out all the indies who are killing it and make you read their books. Because they’re awesome!

Stick around and enjoy the journey 🖤#booktok #indieauthor #indieauthorsupporter #darkromancebooks #darkromantasy

... Read moreIf you're a lover of dark romance or dark fantasy romance, understanding what makes these genres captivating can deeply enhance your reading experience. Dark romance often explores complex characters and relationships, marked by intense emotions and darker themes, while dark romantasy combines this intensity with elements of fantasy worlds and magical twists, offering layers of escapism. E's approach, with interconnected series that can be read in any order but benefit from sequential reading, invites readers to immerse themselves in a richly woven universe filled with suspense and passion. Her mention of Shakespearean twists suggests a deep literary influence, which could mean themes of tragedy, mistaken identity, or poetic justice featuring in her stories. Beyond writing, E's personality shines through her love of hot coffee, even in the heat, and a strong affinity for dark chocolate, resonating with many readers who appreciate relatable, human quirks in their favorite authors. Her culinary curiosity, learning to cook by tasting, adds a genuine flavor to her life narrative, underlining the importance of sensory experiences that can also translate to vivid, immersive writing. Her enthusiasm for knitting, gardening, and owning a mini cow reflects creative and nurturing traits, which might influence her character development and the themes she chooses to explore. E's sarcastic and witty nature, coupled with her active cheerleading of other indie authors, illustrates her community-driven spirit and passion for promoting independent literature. For readers, following E's journey offers not just access to compelling stories but also a glimpse into the life of an author whose dedication and personality enrich her narratives. Engaging with her work through hashtags like #booktok, #indieauthor, and #darkromancebooks connects fans and fellow writers alike, creating a vibrant community around her dark and spicy storytelling.
