Safari Spell

My kids picked some gorgeous roses from my garden, I have actual warm coffee in my favorite mug, and I get to watch my youngest dance in her ballet recital today, so…yeah, I like this Mother’s Day.

Being a mom is the only thing out there better than writing.

Over the years, I’ve had different people ask me about the spice level in my novels, so I wanted to do this little graphic. ⁣

As you can see, I’m a solid 3 🌶️ writer! 𝘓𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 is my only 1 🌶️ book?! Anyway, I write about monsters and the women who love them, but my novels do not include:⁣
⁣
❌ Bestiality⁣
⁣
❌ Explicit or kinky s*x ⁣
⁣
I realize reader comfort levels are completely subjective, but if it helps, my books would not be considered even 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 of s**t by s**t readers, lol! ⁣
⁣
I will only include a s*x scene if it tells a part of the story, because after all, I 𝘢𝘮 telling a story here. 😁 ⁣
⁣
And just to be clear: 𝗜 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗬𝗔. All of my characters are full on adults, so that’s who I write for.⁣
⁣
Some popular tropes in my series are 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻, 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝘃𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀, 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘆, 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲, 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀, and 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘆.⁣
⁣
So, if your pearls remain unclutched 😆 and this sounds like your kind of read in-between the sheets, the complete 𝘓𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 series and 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘚𝘰𝘯𝘴 series are both available for FREE in KU!⁣
⁣
Happy reading! 🖤⁣

TLDR; read 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗞𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗦 first if you like origin stories and morally gray men. Read 𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗞𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗦 first if you like being surprised and slow burn romance.⁣

Over the last few author events I’ve done, countless readers have asked the same question about my books: “𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁?”⁣
⁣
A more put-together author might have a smoother answer, but since *𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩* NOT IT 😂, I finally made a graphic to help! The flow chart for my books goes as follows:⁣
⁣
⚔️ Prequel series, 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗞𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗦⁣
⁣
Book 1, 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩 ⁣
Book 2, 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 (pub in 2028)⁣
Book 3, 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘗𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘶𝘪𝘵 ⁣
⁣
🖤 Original series, 𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗞𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗦⁣
⁣
Book 1, 𝘓𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴⁣
Book 2, 𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘨𝘦𝘴⁣
Book 3, 𝘋𝘳𝘺 𝘉𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘝𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘺⁣
Book 4, 𝘋𝘳𝘺 𝘉𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘙𝘪𝘴𝘦⁣
⁣
‼️ Readers, the most important thing to note here is that 𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗞𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗦 is a compete and finished series (available in KU and Amazon), while 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗞𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗦 is not. Because again, I’m not that put-together and I write things out of order. (Overheard: “fix her, Jesus!”) 🤓⁣
⁣
📚 The 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗞𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗦 series starts in 1740 and spans more than two centuries. It dives into the delicious nuance of morally gray characters Levi, Spencer, and Sage, while revealing the complex relationships they have with their fallen angel fathers, the Grigori.⁣
⁣
📚 The 𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗞𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗦 series tells the tumultuous romance between grief-stricken college student Talor Gardin and the *dangerous golden retriever leader of the Dissent, Sage Talis. ⁣
⁣
Now go grab one and get to reading!⁣

Y’all know the drill. It’s , so that means coffee and treats at Frik & Frak Market while I let my imagination go nuts! ⁣
⁣
But since there are some new faces around, let me introduce myself! I’m Safari, and I write fantasy romance - better known by the uber-cute moniker !⁣
⁣
I have a 4 book finished series, 𝘓𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴. Elevator pitch? Girl meets s*xy lead singer of a vampire rock band, and he’s as romantic as he is dangerous.⁣
⁣
Like any sane/insane woman with a pulse and eyes that work, 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 she falls in love with him because a freckled MMC?! Take me now (but also don’t?)!⁣
⁣
LLDR has a prequel series I’m currently writing called 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘚𝘰𝘯𝘴. Elevator pitch? A whole lot happens in the centuries before LLDR because everyone’s immortal, so people gotta spill the tea because there’s BAD BLOOD in these families, yo.⁣
⁣
Readers have described my books as: ⁣
⁣
👉🏻 “𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯”⁣
👉🏻 “𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭”⁣
👉🏻 “𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨”⁣
👉🏻 “𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯-𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥”⁣
👉🏻 “𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭”⁣
👉🏻 “𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭”⁣
👉🏻 “𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦”⁣
⁣
So basically, you’ll feel stuff when you read my books, but only if there’s a soul attached. Let that be a warning to you.⁣
⁣
I’m editing my 7th novel - a gigantic epic completely unrelated to 𝘓𝘓𝘋𝘙 and 𝘙𝘚 - called 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘝𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘚𝘬𝘪𝘯, and I love it so hard I might not even publish it. It might just be mine, but…we’ll see how I feel as time goes on. 👀⁣
⁣
Apart from writing, I’m also mom to three wild animals shaped like children and a certified yoga teacher. But…likely the least zen one you’ll ever find.⁣
⁣
If you didn’t catch it in my bio, I love Jesus! 🙌🏻 ❤️ ✝️⁣
⁣
That said, my books aren’t considered Christian because my characters are heavily nuanced and I 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 a full redemption arc - that includes the messy parts!⁣
⁣
If you’re here from the book fair on Saturday, thanks for following! If you bought a book, I hope you love it, and don’t forget to review! 📚⁣ So yeah…that’s me!
⁣

I’m always so humbled when complete strangers (who happen to be wonderful bibliophiles 📚) give little indies like me a spot on their shelf!

I didn’t get pictures of everyone who bought books, but I have to tell y’all - I was so impressed by these readers.

There were fun friend groups.
Impressive mamas juggling babies.
Ladies with supportive men who juggled their books so they could buy even more.
Moms and daughters.
Even a reader who bought all but my first book back in October (I’d run out), so she came back for that one! 😂

Thank you to everyone who came by my table and dared take a free bookmark, piece of chocolate, and/or sticker! I loved talked to each of you! Even if you didn’t buy a book from me, I’m so glad you said hi!

Those of you who bought books, I hope you enjoy them! 🤞🏻 And - as always - remember to review! ✍🏻
