Like to watch a no-spice book turn into audio?

Boots and Roses is in the narrator's hands!! 😍 Elaine was kind enough to give me some of the video of her process so we can hear a snippet - plus, isn't it kind of fun to see how converting a no-spice romantasy into audio works? 😊 I'll have some swag with signed paperbacks and early-

I mean, everyone’s writing this, aren’t they…? 🤣

I try to make each story unique, but the weirdest things repeat themselves in different way…🤣 Seriously, miller's daughter who technically has a second chance romance but doesn't know it because magic keeps her and her guy from recognizing each other? And they aren't even two random

Books are better! 🤣

When I scroll social media, I see: - Other people's shiny things (art, success, effortless humor) - Advice with which I disagree (but which I spend the next hour pondering whether it is hubris on my part to ignore it, then mentally pour over my latest manuscript considering if it is

I dunno, maybe these are reasons Bookstagram WILL like this no-spice retelling of Cinderella. Full disclosure, I've never really understood how to do this kind of post…😅 Ella doesn’t need a prince. She just wants to be loved. Trapped as a servant in her own home, Ella has four years until

Surprise cover reveal!

My no-spice friend-to-lovers Goose Girl retelling has been out for a year and a half, but I was never pleased with the cover I made for it - the book wasn't planned, so I didn't have the budget for a "real" cover from the designer for the rest of the series. But I broke down and bou

It's clean, fantasy romance, light on the magic, Cinderella, and short and sweet… Would you read this book? Ella doesn’t need a prince. She just wants to be loved. Trapped as a servant in her own home, Ella has four years until the law sets her free – four years of her stepmother's

Things reviewers didn’t like about my books

My clean, no-spice fantasy romance fairytale retellings are not universally admired (isn't that shocking??). I thought I'd share some of the complaints from reviewers that I find most amusing! What do you think? Do any of these crack you up? Any make you want to read the book instead of

Looking for fairytales with substance?

Some readers expect no-spice fairytales to be happy escapes from reality, but I believe that it should be possible to have realistic relationships and struggles in a fantasy setting, even one that's retelling a fairytale. Hi! If you're new here, I'm Erin Halbmaier, and I write clean

If I had $1…

I didn't mean to put the same plot device in two of my no-spice fairytale retellings…🤣 And it comes about in a different fashion - I promise they feel like different stories! But Katy in Songs and Spun Gold ends up betrothed to Prince Axel as a result of a magical bargain she didn't realize

No-spice fantasy romance influences

What are the background influences for my clean, fantasy romance stories? …all sorts! 😆 I love adventure, witty banter, flawed characters, redemption - all while keeping things clean, because I do NOT appreciate spice, swearing, or gore. I DO love stories about love - real love that puts others

Clean fantasy romance!

No-spice fantasy romance. Cinderella x Sleeping Beauty. Phantom of the Opera x Rumpelstiltskin. Real characters, deep emotions, danger, intrigue, tales that continue past the wedding. If these sound like the kind book you want to read, the first box set in The Roumaterra Chronicles is releasing

It can be clean AND real…

Clean fantasy romance is often high stakes, new love, love is easy once you find it. And I write higher stakes in my other books, but the first book I wrote is different. It’s about life. Love - real love that requires tough choices and forgiveness and is about more than feelings. Fighting false

Cover concept!

They're exactly alike, aren't they? 😂😂 But didn't the designer do an AMAZING job with it?? MoorBook Designs astounds me every time when they take my little concepts and turn them into a cover. If you haven't read the story, Songs and Spun Gold is a clean, no spice fantasy romance

Is it funny, or is it suspenseful…?🤣

Clean, no-spice romance doesn't have to be fluff or centered around the relationship. It can also have action, suspense, high stakes… For five years, Katy's barrenness has been her protection from a magical debt. Now she's running out of time. Axel deserves the painful truth - and

Healthy != perfect

Sometimes, the relationships in romance books are depicted as a little too…perfect. Either that, or they're super toxic. I always appreciate finding a no-spice romance that acknowledges that if you put two imperfect people together, their relationship won't be perfect. But that's not
