Oh sorry, one last thing. 
          	
          	Wattpad has a HUGE issue with pirating author's books, and for this reason I will now ONLY be uploading snippets of my work. Nothing will be completed here as it will give unsavory people the opportunity to steal my books I've busted my butt to complete. 
          	
          	Wattpad is aware of this, and has and will do nothing to protect its authors..... 
          	
          	Inkitt on the other hand, gave authors the "app only" option where you can't view the stories in a web browser, and made it to where you can't take screenshots or screen record. They care about their authors in that aspect, at least. So I will not be posting more of my work here in an effort to protect it. If you would like to read more of my stories you can find me on Inkitt, same profile pic and pen name.

@LB_Neptunia Right its so hard to get people to read our stories on this app and then publish and try to actually make something from all our time and effort. It's exhausting and I'm sick of feeling taken for granted.

Dude I haven't been able to log into this account in months. I finally got back in. So a week ago I re-released LBaB with a snazzy new sunflower discreet cover exclusively for Amazon. I also announced one of my favorite authors and I are collaborating on a fun spicy, spooky anthology for Halloween! :D The release date is 10/13/2023. Friday the 13th. :D 
          
          Click this linktree in my bio for more info on the new covers, preordering Deliciously Disturbed. 
          
          
          Yall have a wonderful day!

El_Rivers

HEY YALL!
          
          OMG TODAY HAS BEEN A DAY!
          
          So a bit ago we wrapped up a Discord call about subscriptions for Inkitt. You'll be happy to know I finally have mine open and added the first three LBaB drafts to tier one.
          
          Right now this is all I plan to add as my life is chaotic and I cannot keep up with weekly updates. People have asked for a bit about this and they're now posted and protected behind Inkitts paywall while I work on my developmental edits, and work on getting 'FM' ready to publish.
          
          Here's the description:
          
          Come satisfy your craving with a delicious treat for the mind, body, and soul. Enjoy the perfect blend of supernatural elements and steamy tales, offering you a unique reading experience. Enter a land full of magic and mystery, where unlikely romances blossom amidst the chaos.
          
          And just like the enticing aroma of spiced vanilla, these books linger in your mind long after the last page is turned.
          
          This tier includes access to the following drafts:
          
          - Love Bites and Bruises
          
          - Forbidden Memories
          
          - Alpha's Awakening
          
          Have a great weekend! ❤️

Hello, my lovelies!
          I hope you’re all doing well!
          I recently pulled LBaB from KDP, and it’s been moved to Kindle Vella. Once I get things settled, I will begin reloading all of the drafts previously posted to Inkitt on REAM/ Inkitt subscribers. (I’m waiting for this last one to launch. Supposedly that’s happening next month, but we’ll see.)
          Vella, on the other hand, will be where my more polished versions will go. Vella allows authors to serialize their stories and, once they’re completed, turn around and publish them on KDP/ other retailers. Not only that but Vella give readers free coins with your Amazon account to read chapters for free. Therefore, all of my series stories, LBaB, SINS, Games of Seduction, and any other series in the future will be going to Vella or behind some type of sub. paywall. 
          KEYS is now complete, but I am expanding the story for Vella. Once developmental edits are complete, I will be moving it to Vella and leaving an excerpt here. So read it while you can! :D  If you’re not following me on my social media accounts, you should beeeeee! I recently revamped my FB group and shared some info about Keys’ future. As soon as I'm finished typing this, I’ll be revealing another sneak peek. Links for this, and my Vella stories can be found in my linktr33.
          Finally, we’re moving again the first of June, and my kids will be out for the summer, so my goal was to finish KEYS before the move. Now that it's done, I think I’m going to take a break to brainstorm and try to figure out some of the other stories I have posted here, BDR, HAVOC, and SANTA! Hopefully I can get those completed. KEY’s and LBaB edits have had me in a chokehold for a minute, and I kinda wanna shut my brain off for a bit then come back when things aren’t so stressful. I hope you all have an amazing day, and thank you for your support! <3

@MichealMyersIsHot hey! Thanks so much for your interest in ONWS. Unfortunately I haven't been able to come up with more.  I've made it a priority to try to finish it this year since I had so much going on with publishing last year. It's not easy for me to write "happy" stories so I hit a wall and wasn't sure where I wanted to take it.

I loved reading your books on inkitt but they no longer there, LBAB, hope I said it correctly. Unfortunately I can not afford anywhere else. You are truly a gifted writer and would like to see the story where it goes. I can not afford Amazon. God willing, please is there no other way, I can get the books.

NEW STORY! "The Keys of Desire."
          
          This started off as a single idea for a one-shot, but in my usual El way, I wrote too much. So I'm trying to close up the last few chapters and pause this book/one-shot til I figure out how I want this story to go. xD
          
          Here's the description. 
          
          When Colleen Davis invited me, Aurora Mitchell, to her party, there was no way I could decline! Eli Parker was back on the market. The stars had aligned, blessing me with an opportunity to finally reveal my feelings. Tonight I'm moving out of the friend-zone and into his bed.
          
          We all knew the rules of Colleen's "key party." Every single girl was paired with a guy for the evening. 
          
          I have to select Eli's keys! I can't lose my virginity to just anyone. It has to be special. 
          
          "How are you feeling?" Ezra asked.
          "I'm alright." 
          Lie.
          "Really?" He furrowed his brows.
          "No. Alcohol is not my friend. I'm losing this battle against my nausea," I confessed.
          "This is exactly why you need to let me take you home. Speaking of, have you seen my keys? Colleen took them. They're not in the bowl. I can't find them anywhere."
          ...His keys? Ezra was participating tonight? My grip tightened on the key fob in my pocket. Suddenly an alarm sounded outside. I followed him as he sprinted through the side door.
          No, this seriously can't be happening, Not my brother's best friend turned enemy. Not Ezra-freakin'-Montgomery.
          With trembling fingers, I pressed a button, silencing his car. His devilish smirk returned. 
          Crap.
          "Rory...." Ezra traced his tongue across his luscious bottom lip. He leaned in closer, and my heart stuttered.
          "Can I have my keys now?" He held his hand out. "Unless you want to keep them."

Hello my lovelies, It’s been a bit. I’ve had a lot going on in my life. I quit my boring 9-5 and am officially writing full-time. My husband bought me a desk and chair once I officially quit. He’s been incredibly supportive, and I have been working on some new stuff. 
          
          Inkitt approved me for the Author Subscription Program, but I’m still waiting to hear back from them. Ream sent me my invite a few weeks ago, and I have been working on getting all of my LBaB books set up there, as well as moving all the rest of my stories. Right now, I’m trying not to drown. Between trying to figure out how much writing I have to do to is enough to sustain a stable income and to get ahead so I can still do everything else I need to in my daily life. It’s not been an easy transition, but I’m trying. I hope to launch Ream/ my author's subscription page in a few months. So keep an eye out for updates about that.  
          
          One thing I have been diligently working on since Jan was getting physical copies of my book printed. THIS TOOK FOREVER, but I wanted to announce due to publishing through Ingramspark, my books are now available! I wasn't thrilled with Amazon’s quality, so I chose to case a wider net, and the quality speaks for itself. By clicking on my Linktree you can now purchase your very own copy! 
          
          If you would like a signed copy, fill out the form for the link below. 
          
          https://forms.gle/h9uu7VagxHo7ubqe8 
          
          That about covers it. Thank you all for remaining patient and continuing to support me. I'm hoping to wrap up KEYS this week. (Every time I say this, something delays it, but I’m gonna try. lol.) Have a wonderful week!
