Author of Polyamorous Romance

May 29, 2025 lizellyn Bookish #authorlife, #bookishlife, #CoffeeAndBooks, #polyamorouslove, #romanceauthor, #RomanceWriter, #spicyreads, #whychooseromance

Hi, I’m Liz Ellyn – writer of steamy polyamorous romance, passionate dog owner, and part-time baking addict.

With Defending Engagement dropping on June 3, it feels like the perfect moment to (re)introduce myself.

My other why-choose romance books include:

Overruling Judgment (Reader’s Favorite Finalist, Literary Titan Silver Book Award Winner)
Loving two men, she risks devastating three hearts unless she commits to both.

Willful Parties (Literary Titan Gold Book Award Winner)
Sustaining their epic MMF romance demands more than luck.

When I’m not consuming mass amounts of hot coffee or writing fiery scenes, I’m listening to romance audiobooks on dog walks with Boomer (a Bernese/Cavalier mix) and a ruby King Charles Cavalier.

Don’t be rude and post DNF book reviews

May 14, 2025 lizellyn Bookish #authorcommunity, #authorlife, #bookcommunity, #booklovers, #BookReviews, #DNF, #respect, #ReviewingBooks

LET’S BE REAL … publicly DNFing a book is like saying, ‘I hate this book,’ even if that’s not the full story. Posting a DNF carries a more negative tone than the personal decision itself.

There are legitimate and unfair reasons for leaving book reviews stating DNFing a book.

Here’s a personal example from this past weekend:

I started reading ACOTAR, but an early scene involving harm to an animal triggered me after the recent loss of my dog, so I stopped. This is a ME issue, not the book’s fault. Would I leave a review saying I DNFed it? NO! It’s not fair to the author. (Not that my review would impact this popular book, but the principle stands.) I will probably revisit the book later.

That’s a wrap on reading in Aptril 2025

Behind the spice – disclosing polyamory

I aim to write polyamorous books with authenticity. I’m looking to explore different ways people identify themselves as poly to others. (Without using an app that allows one to check a box.)

National Library Week 2025

National Library Week

I love libraries. The architecture. The quiet. The calm. The books.

Do you have a favorite library?

Introverts and Polyamory

March 18, 2025 lizellyn Bookish #INTJ, #Intovert, #IntrovertVibes, #loveislove, #LoveWithoutLimts, #polyamory

The link between being introverted and polyamorous may seem counterintuitive at first. Introverts often limit social interactions, whereas polyamory involves multiple intimate relationships.

Comparing jealousy in relaitonships

March 15, 2025- Chicago will dye the river bright green.

Originally, 100 pounds of a fluorescein dye, typically used to trace water currents, was used to create a vibrant green hue.

Today, the dye used is an eco-friendly vegetable-based dye, ensuring minimal impact on the river’s ecosystem. Additionally, the dye is now applied by specialized boats equipped with sprayers, ensuring a more even and vibrant coloration of the water.

Grammar Day – Oxford comma

March 4, 2025 lizellyn Bookish #authorlife, #grammar, #grammarday, #OxfordComma, #writingcommunity

Misuse of the Oxford Comma is a pet peeve of mine.

In the example above…

With the Oxford comma: My parents, plus two legendary authors

Without it: Surprise! My parents are Stephen King and Jane Austen. Talk about a plot twist!
