Author of SPIRITCHILD, EARTHCHILD, and THE RISE AND FALL OF AOS.
Opening threads every day to see a dozen iterations of “where my indie girlies at?” “Where are all the indie fantasy authors?” “Where my U.K. bookish gals?” And I’m just hopping up and down behind the garden fence waving my arms in the air going “I’M OVER HERE!!”

Am currently experiencing “this is gonna be utter crap” phase of drafting.

Just sliding back on here to remind y’all that I wrote not one, but two fantasy duologies. So, y’know, if you’re into elves/dwarves/dragons, magic, found family, epic quests, good vs evil, etc, then may I humbly offer up my babies for your reading pleasure? Best served with tea/coffee and cookies.

Submitted the final files for THE HEART AND SOUL OF AOS today.
Feels strange to have finished work on that duology when I started it nearly 4 years ago.

The moment you realise chapter 12 of your plot has become chapter 25 of your draft…

I know it’s been said before but I feel like it warrants repeating:

Constantly offended that in order to write the book, I have to… actually sit down and write it?

How rude.

In other news, project TREES is going well, thanks for asking

Your house is on fire.
You only have time to save one book from your shelves…
Which book are you saving?

After 7 months of “pivot” to work on publishing THE HEART AND SOUL OF AOS, I’ve just written 1k on project TREES, and omg I love drafting so much 💚

Reading through project TREES this morning and thinking this might actually be pretty good.
Wondering who actually wrote this because surely it wasn’t me?
Now terrified I won’t be able to finish it because I have of course forgotten how to write…

While I sit on THE HEART AND SOUL OF AOS for a bit before final-final-FINAL edit, I will return to project code-named TREES which feels a bit like Addie LaRue X The Originals? Excited to revisit this one! New projects always feel so shiny! 🤩

So… what are we calling people who join Bluesky?

Skywalkers is the obvious choice here, right?

Hi BlueSky! I’m Danielle Lauren, author of fantasy novels SPIRITCHILD, EARTHCHILD, and THE RISE AND FALL OF AOS.
I have no idea what I’m doing here but I occasionally write books and have another — THE HEART AND SOUL OF AOS — coming out soon. If that sounds like your kinda thing, welcome! 😁
