Where I Live on the Internet 🏡

If you don't find me entirely boring, you can check out my other social media.

Although there's not much on my TikTok atm (same handle as here), you can always take a look at it. It's more of a promotional place than anything (yet), but, oh well 🤷🏽‍♀

My Goodreads. Just because.

My author's Website, if you wanna share my stories with someone.

Good ol' WordPress, I'll post some writing updates there (though, if you're here, you'll probably get more sneak peeks than there).

My Amazon author page, just, y'know, if you wanna check my books and buy them at any time.

And finally, my Newsletter for the VIPs. This is where I share stuff that doesn't go public: exclusive snippets, first looks at covers, and free short stories. It's the backstage pass.

I'll probably be most active and unhinged right here on Tumblr, but if any of those other ones sound like your thing, then I'd love to see you over there!

I'm terrible at keeping an online presence. Life just pulls me under and I forget about social media. That will probably keep happening a lot.

BUT I'm back! And with good news.

My next book's first draft is done, now I'm in the editing phase, and I've got some good stuff going on in here, including, but not limited to:

Dragons, witches, ghosts and the whole nine yards

Smart as hell witch with a snarky talking cat for a familiar

Quiet, brooding dragon shifter who just happens to be gorgeous as fuck

Captor/captive situation

Enemies to lovers

Enemies to lovers

More enemies to lovers

Lots of plot twists

Dark Romance

And most importantly, it's sapphic

I'll try to post the progress and some quotes as it goes, but I do think it won't be long until it's finally done.

My characters destroy me emotionally

Writing and creating my own characters has been such a journey and a rollercoaster. At first, I wondered who these people were, then they became my best friends, and eventually, I started to get frustrated by their actions.

This is exactly how I feel when I read or watch characters that someone else wrote, but it's completely different from crying and laughing with your own creations. They started living their own lives, rent free in my mind and in the pages of my sapphic novel and even I don't know what they are going to do next.

[authorerosa]

That's SO TRUE! Like, yesterday I was about to curl into myself and cry because WHAT DO YOU MEAN my character is such a lovely angel that she's feeling empathy for the woman who literally locked her in a cave and told her "You're part of my hoard now"?!

[authorerosa]

I just realized I hadn't logged in or posted here for a while. Gee. You can blame it on my classes, they were driving me up the wall.

Thankfully, I'm (partially) free now, so I'll be able to write more, too.

The new book is coming along, and I'm loving it.

Think something dark (it's dark romance, so...), slightly leaning toward horror. A woman trapped. Her captor. A talking cat. Ghosts from the past (literal ghosts). The whole nine yards.

First Review

It's been a couple of days since I got it, but the first review in my book finally came! I'm so glad that this person liked it (and ofc, the first person I showed this to was my psychologist. She said she's proud of me. Needless to say, I got all happy).

I can't wait for the 15th to see if any more reviews will come (I gave a period of 2 weeks to see if anyone would leave a review telling me what they want my next book to be about). If none do, at least I already have something planned for the next book 👀

[authorerosa]

Last Day!!

Want to guarantee your free, sapphic romantasy ebook? Well, this is your last day.

I mean... the premise is good. If it wasn't, the book wouldn't have reached Best Seller status already, would it?

All I need right now are some reviiiiiiews. So, if anyone's interested in leaving a review, don't forget that I'll choose the theme of my next book based on what the readers ask for in the reviews (instructions are on the last page of Held In Her Storm).

So, go guarantee your copy while it's still free!

Held In Her Storm: A Sapphic Age-Gap Romance Novel

[crossroadsghoul]

"they're not gay" I don't know man, I read a masterfully written fanfic on A03 that says otherwise.

[authorerosa]

Magic, Lesbians, and Found Family

Held in Her Storm has it all (and it's currently free on Amazon, at least until November 6).

I can't freaking believe it, but the wonderful people at I Heart SapphicFic just posted an All About Held In Her Storm.

Well, I'm kinda new at the whole publishing thing, so this is really exciting for me! They asked a ton of questions about the behind-the-scenes of the book. I think it can give such a nice perspective to those who are thinking about reading it.

So go check it out! Not just the book, but I Heart SapphicFic in general! They're amazing.

Being a writer is more about googling words to make sure they absolutely mean what you always assumed they meant than simply writing.

This is what you can expect in Held In Her Storm, by E. Rosa

“Please don’t let them take me.”

It wasn’t even a whisper.

It was a confession.

A prayer.

A last line carved into the wall of a crumbling room.

Ellara’s eyes darkened. Something feral in their quiet devotion. Her expression didn’t change, but her presence shifted, pulled tighter around Selene like a cloak made of firelight and steel.

And then, slowly, reverently, Ellara leaned in.

Their foreheads touched.

The contact was feather-soft.

But Selene felt it like lightning. Her heart seized. Her lungs forgot how to work. Her entire body went still under the unbearable tenderness of it.

Ellara’s thumb brushed the curve of her jaw again.

“I won’t,” she whispered.

Selene’s breath stuttered.

Ellara’s voice deepened, like a promise shaped from the bones of mountains.

“You’re not theirs to take, little dove.”

A beat of silence passed. Just their breaths. Just heat. Just heartbeats between them.

Then, barely audible, like a vow not meant for any witness but the wind between them—

“You’re mine.”

What's a trope you'd sell your soul for?

Hi! I'm Rosa, and I'm a complete sucker for power dynamics and slow burns. So give me age-gap, give me enemies-to-lovers, give me dark romance, and I'll die happy.

I'm such a sucker for it that I had to write one myself.

Think soft, idealistic princess meets the ancient, terrifyingly powerful Fae Queen she's idolized her whole life. 

There's age gap

It's slowish burn

It's short enough that you can read it in less than a week

There's "oh, no, we have to share a library"

And, of course, there are beautiful women all around

So, what tropes can you never get enough of? Tell me your favs and the books that led you to love it, I'm always down for new recs.
