Defending Engagement by Liz Ellyn

BLURB:

JD, Ian, and Sasha share a love that’s passionate and all-consuming. Behind closed doors, their polyamorous relationship burns with undeniable heat, but beyond their Chicago home, judgment waits to tear them apart.

At the O’Malley family’s annual St. Patrick’s Day party, whispers turn to outright condemnation—immorality, illegality, and taboo desire. JD and Ian fear the scorn will drive Sasha away. They underestimate Sasha’s ability to eviscerate closed-minded arguments and fire to defend what’s hers.

It is time to take a stand and defend their engagement.

Vampire Day 2025

I’m a fan of all these vampire books:

Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith
Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward
Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer
Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice
Sookie Stackhouse by Charlaine Harris
Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter by Laurell K. Hamilton

I can’t wait for the release of The Black Dagger Brotherhood on Passionflix (Amazon Prime) on June 5

When will Anita Blake get a series or movie?

Which came first: Polyamory or Monogamy?

As polyamory becomes more visible in modern society, I found myself wonder: Which came first, polyamory or monogamy?

It turns out that polyamory actually predates monogamy, rooted in early human lifestyles and survival needs.

My next question: Is polyamory making a comeback to meet some modern societal need? It’s clearly not the only factor, but it might be part of the reason we’re seeing more people explore non-monogamous relationships today.

Curious to hear your thoughts: Are we evolving back toward something older, or creating something new?

What to do with bookish stickers?

Am I the only one who hoards adorable bookish stickers but can’t bring myself to stick them anywhere? I had a whole pile stashed in a drawer. Too cute to “use up” but too awesome to forget.

This week, I needed a little refresh on my lock screen, and it hit me. Why not turn those stickers into phone backgrounds? Now I get all the joy of seeing them without the sticker commitment! YAY!!! Win-Win

Pro tip: This works for bookmarks and character cards too.

Agender Pride Day

This author supports all identities.

Agender falls under the broader umbrella of non-binary identities

Respecting people’s right to self-identify affirms their dignity, autonomy, and lived experience, fostering inclusion and psychological safety. Denying this right can cause harm, reinforce discrimination, and erode trust in personal and societal relationships.

Standing against ignorance

As an author, I stand firmly against ignorance and hate.

If you’re looking for a spicy romance that challenges harmful ideas, check out Willful Parties by Liz Ellyn.

Blurb:

Three hearts. One fiery passion. Endless complications. Seth, the daring bisexual marathoner, ignites the spark. Kat, the sharp-witted pixie, guards her heart fiercely.
