I read my first dark romance novel at the airport and it was a very recognisable one. I felt my cheeks born every time people passed me. But I couldn't stop reading!

I don't have time to hang out with friends or post as much when I write.
And sometimes I just don't eat & my room is a mess.
Thankfully the people around me understand that it's a necessary evil in my life due to my struggles.
It has come with some costs, both financially and mentally. I've spent way more money on publishing and promoting my first novel than I've made since it was published in August.

depression strikes.
I'm Norwegian, so English is my second language.
I'm disabled, and I've never really had a career.
And I'm now about to publish my SECOND novel.
I know I've been talking a lot less about American politics and more about writing and books.
I'm just so proud of myself honestly.
I have ADHD, being able to pay attention is nearly impossible.
I'm bipolar, so motivation is hard when
wears masks & does IICYIFY in the forest competing of who catches her first with her ex stalker?
That's Ash Lockwood 💗 (Portrait of a Stalker)
You know that stereotype that dark romance girlies date/marry dorky guys while thirsting over men who are essentially the opposite?
How about sensitive Dark Romance MMC who's really into comics, horror & earns money by selling his art, while still being a possessive, vioIent stalker who
Well then.

I've always got the hots for stalkers who would literally kill for me.
But ever since I started writing Dark Romance IT'S GOTTEN WORSE.
This is my type btw.
Yes I'm obsessed with masked men
My kink is stalkers
My fetish is possessiveness
For those who has wanted to read my novel, here's a free copy on BookSprout, (, Advanced Reader copy) in exchange for a review. Thank you so much for the support, means the world to me! ONLY A FEW SPOTS LEFT!

If you've read "The Wolf in Her Veins", I'd really appreciate it if you took a few minutes to leave a review on Amazon or Goodreads. They really help indie authors like myself. You don't have to rate it 5 stars or write more than a couple sentences, just be honest. Rating my book will help a lot!

I couldn't really find a morally grey man in any dark romance novels that I really liked, that WASN'T toxic & abusive towards the FMM, and instead worshiped her & loved her but still being possessive, obsessive & vioIent if anyone touches her.
So I wrote him, in "The Wolf in Her Veins".
