Halfway through 1st draft! Here’s a teaser of the cover I’ve been working on for book 5, The Secret of the Swirlalu 😉 Though I might make the serpent look less angry 🤔 “Following the spiral of magic & mystery might just bring you home.” #cozyfantasy #procreate #cozytalesoflarune

Yay! First 5 stars! Thank you, person, whoever you are 😄🙏🩵 Hope the 1st written review is a happy reader too. I really want to get all the tales on audiobook this year (soon as it’s financially viable). #cozyfantasy #heartwarming #inclusion #blindcharacters #booksky #fantasybooks

LILY IN THE MIST is on Amazon! 🎉🎉 Paperback is still in review, but digital is live 🤗 For being my most peaceful story it was ironically stressful to write 😂 I wanted to represent #lowvision with as much accuracy & kindness as I could, & keep the chill plot (hopefully) interesting 🤞 #cozyfantasy

ARCs for Lily in the Mist! Free download will only be available until the 10th (pubbing on Amazon after then). If interested in a copy in exchange for an honest review (non-obligatory though), I’ll DM the bookfunnel link 🤗🩵 #cozyfantasy #fantasybooks #snowleopards

Got inspired to start drawing the cover for book 5, Secret of the Swirlalu! A more adventurous tale about two brothers & the mysterious source of Larune’s magic. If Indiana Jones was an elf and Uncharted was #cozyfantasy, lol 😜 Excited for this one!

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

Whoa! 1.3k followers?! I gotta check in more often 😅 Just wanted to share the full cover for the paperback! Zaccura did the front and I did the back (procreate). Yes, I’m an artist too. Just like to spread the $ (& save time on my end). Lily’s sooo close to pub, I swear! #cozyfantasy #winterreads

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

It was a month ago that I posted?! Time moves too fast 😵‍💫 But had a great time at #Hearthcon! 🤗 Now I’m about to hibernate in the mountains & buckle down to pub Lily by end of Nov, start & pub book 5 by end of Feb, then pivot to #litRPG! 😱 Don’t worry, I’ll keep up Tales of Larune too. #cozyfantasy

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

Rewrite/edit is taking longer than expected, but still on track for a fall release. Come on, #adhd, I know you hate this part & that new story is super shiny, but we gotta finish Lily in the Mist 😵‍💫 #cozyfantasy #selfpublishing #writerproblems #fantasybooks

Wow! Who knew my 2nd book would be the most popular! I didn’t 😄 I’m chuffed, but it’s starting to look suspicious, lol. (Not that I “want” lower stars). I’m just kinda amazed 😳 Enjoy it while it lasts, I suppose. Eventually someone will hate it 😆 #cozyfantasy #dragonbooks #cutedragons

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

Cover reveal! By the amazing & talented Zaccura 🩵 4th book of Larune. This time we follow Gilly, the blind goblin monk on her search for the mythical snow leopard 🤗 Also looking for #ArcReaders. Hoping to have it ready to read by mid-September. Still have some editing to do. #cozyfantasy #cozyreads

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

I’m so excited! Never realized there were more #dinotopia books! I have the 1st 2 from the 90s & loved them then & now. So beautifully illustrated. I-am-snuggling down w/my coffee to go on an adventure with dinosaurs & feel like a kid again ☺️ #cozyfantasy #90snostalgia #90skid #jamesgurney #artsky

Some days are just not magical 🥴 And that’s okay (I tell myself, lol). Maybe it’s just a 1 page edit day. (Cartoon by yours truly) #cozyfantasy #writerlife #unicorns #writerhumor #coffee #authorcommunity #authorhumor #writersky

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

Done with the first draft of Lily in the Mist! Now it’s just an edit/rewrite, then a sensitivity reading. So I’m hoping a late summer release? And here’s a sneak peak of a little detail on the upcoming cover of Gilly the goblin monk carving a statue 😉 #cozyfantasy #cozytalesofLarune #fantasybooks

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

Oh. It’s only been 2.5 months since I started the first draft of my 4th #cozyfantasy, Lily in the Mist. I kept feeling like it’d been twice as long. I need to ease up on myself, & take the wisdom of the goblin monk more to ❤️ lol 😆 Cover reveal coming soon! It’s going to be so gorgeous 😍 #snowleopard

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Look at this cute little leopard 😍 My sweet hubby got her as a mascot for my 4th Cozy Tales of Larune book 🥰 Lily in the Mist features a mythical snow leopard & a peaceful “small acts add up to a good life” vibe. Can’t wait to share it w/the world! (Aiming for late summer) #cozyfantasy #snowleopards

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 03/06/2025

Me trying to push my book into 100 reviews. C’mooooon! 😝 I get a trickle of 1-3/week. I’ve done ARCs, but maybe I need to dial in my CTA in the book. What’s been your strategy to get reviews? #cozyfantasy #writercommunity #selfpublished #author #booksky #catsky #catbooks

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

Oh my word. That was the hardest time I’ve ever had coming up w/a title but I think I got it for book 4 😮‍💨 Some discarded ones: Crystal by Crystal, Blankets & Blizzards, Strong as Stone Soft as Snow, Throw Snow Laugh Much. And the winner? Tell me what you think…Lily in the Mist! 😉 #cozyfantasy

Sometimes the best remedy for #writersblock is iced coffee, video games, & letting the procrastination pressure build 😆 I have many methods to push past it, but what’s yours? Please share, my #cozyfantasy fam! 💖 #writingcommunity #selfpublishing #writerproblems #indianajones #adhd

What’re your 2025 goals my fellow #cozyfantasy #authors? I was feeling overwhelmed then remembered: * Your creativity isn’t a machine. It’s a garden. * Sometimes we’re not unmotivated, we’re misaligned. That’s not failure, that’s just mismatch. * You’re building the engine while flying the plane.

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Yaaay I hit one of my milestones! Over 50 reviews! 🥳🎉 Partly cause it means I reached Amazon’s “trusted book club” algorithm, so it’ll show up more. It’ll also help with ad spend & CTR. Next milestone: 100! And one day, the fabled land of Bookbub 😳 #cozyfantasy #booksky #fantasybooks #indieauthor

Over the Rainbow Hill is PUBBED! 🥳🥂😅 Ebook & KU. Print will be another 1-3 days. It’s a tender story about embracing impermanence. Even in life’s hardest moments, magic lingers, reminding us to cherish what truly matters 💖 #lgbtq+ #cozyfantasy #mmromance #🏳️‍🌈 #gaybookpromotions #lgbtqbooks

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 19/03/2025

Got the author proof of the 3rd book in my #cozyfantasy series! 😄🎉 Now to just fix all the little issues. Always something. Hopefully I can get it published in the next 2 weeks. I was hoping it would be more vibrant but my other books are matte, so glossy doesn’t make sense 🤔 #lgbtq+ #🏳️‍🌈 #mmromance

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

Wanted to share some whimsical, magical moments in Hawaii 🤗 From the cloud forest to cute creatures hidden around the meadery we visited. This is the kind of vibe I want in my #cozyfantasy books 🥰 #travel #vanlife

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

Look at these beautiful cards & stickers for the Hesitant Mediums series the author was so kind to send! I’m “dying!” 😍 Victorian+supernatural++romance+cozy= @worderella.bsky.social Highly recommend checking out her books! They’re so fun & unique 💖 #cozyfantasy #cozyparanormal #booksky #romance

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

If you need some charm, whimsy, and animals check out Cozy Tales of Larune on Amazon 🤗 A djinn & his cat, and a dwarf & her baby dragon on journeys of self-discovery. What’s cozy fantasy? Think low-stakes middle grade books but for adults 😉 #cozyfantasy #animalstories #cats #dragons #fantasybooks

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

Never know where you might get inspiration for your #cozyfantasy series. Like a super cute & #cozy cafe with magical purple #coffee 🤤

It’s a “Hilo” kitty 🤗 Get it? Who gets it? 😜 I’m such a cat whisperer. There are feral cats all over the Liliuokalani gardens & I ended up with 3 of them following me around, and one even came right up & let me pet them 😂 #cats #catsky #zencat

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Ah shoot! Maybe I can swing Thursday. I keep wanting to play one but the stars haven’t aligned yet. I even have my own character on the DnD Beyond app—rogue, fighter, sorcerer half elf 😜

Can’t WAIT to curl up & watch this! Cats, animals, cozy, & profound, are a few of my favorite things 🎶😸 Heard it’s really good. #flowmovie #cats #cozyfantasy #cozyanimation

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

I’ve always loved animals. I’d spend all day doing #art in my room & at school. Watched Wild America & Nat Geo. Saved birds & even a baby possum once. Raised $2k to help tigers. And always wrote stories w/animals. Creature #cozyfantasy has felt like a joyous culmination of all that ❤️ #artsky

Elayne Griffith @elaynegriffith.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

Cute kitty story part 3: And then they saw her in the neighborhood! She looked happy & healthy and had a collar. Clearly someone had taken her in & given the sweet kitty a home 🥰 From abandoned to loved, I hope “Freckles” has a long treat-filled life. #catsky
