All the best you amazing people!
❤️📚😎🫂👊🏻

(looks around) Y'all still hanging in there? Awesomesause! For the subscribers of the now-beta versions of my books, I haven't forgotten ya and I've been keeping a list so you have priority of the ARC version of the printed book. Also, for the new followers, welcome!



Well, I thought I'd come up for air for a sec from motherhood and the writer trenches and give a quick update. Bout halfway done with dev-edits on 'Safe Place', and I've decided that the printed story will be broken into TWO books. Now why would I do that? Mainly cuz of pricing for everyone and a bit easier for publication. Still looking like a late 2026/early 2027 release to bookstores.



I can't help I wrote a GoT-sized novel.



Anyways, if you haven't followed me on IG yet (@writerdanibrown82), come swing by and say hi! I'm on there more; new series of "Writer's Hot Takes" and a bit more Elder Millennial big-sis vibes!

Welp, that's it! The end of a chapter for me! As of today, both 'Safe Place' and 'First Night' are under a subscription tier and available to be read. This way I can focus on doing developmental edits and polish up everything before I query agents in the upcoming months.

Now is this the end of me writing stories for Inkitt? Absolutely NOT! But I have to be realistic with my approach when it comes to trad publishing; an agent isn't gonna have a desire to champion my works if I have it all for free on this corner of the internet. Thus, the subscription tier

For all those who have stuck with me up to this point, left reviews, comments, critiques, and praise...from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. I never would've gotten this far if you guys weren't supporting me. This is why I have to continue pushing forward and make everything up to this point worth it.

Here's to the end of one chapter, and the start of the next!

Hey, y'all! It's ya girl, Dani, back with a quick update! Postpartum life has me juggling not only developmental edits, social media, and fitness, but also adding in the crazy shennanigans of my baby boy. A little boy who's looking more like my husband every day yet has my attitude--it's so much damn fun!

Anyways! Wanted to let you guys know I'm currently in talks with Archway Publishing--a inprint of Simon & Schuster--on finally bringing 'Safe Place' to shelves. Because as much as the journey of finding an agent is great, I've realized I don't need one if I can just teach myself.

Not the first time I've ran my own business😅

Am I gonna completely give up on Trad publishing? Not necessarily, but I am pivoting and facilitating more creative control (big chonky book, uncensored anyone??) and staying true to myself and my craft, and you loyal peeps of my Tribe💖

While I'm working on this, come give me a shout on Instagram and hang out! (Link above)

JFC, I'm alive! I'M ALIVE!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!

*COUGHS* Okay, now that that's outta my system, it's good to be back at it. For all the new followers in the last few months, welcome to the party, and for all the legacy followers, glad to see you all again.

I know you're probably wondering why I went MIA this time around, right? And well... I've been keeping a bit of a secret from the public about my health. Mostly because I wanted not have to explain myself over and over, or having to elaborate on details I wasn't comfortable sharing at the time.

No--I'm not dying or anything. Perfectly healthy, actually. So is my newborn son. 💖

Yup. That's what I was keeping mum 90% of 2025--I was pregnant; I'm actually 2.5months pospartum as I type this while the baby's napping. I didn't want to stress myself out with updates or put more priorities on my plate, so I threw a lot of things on the back burner while I focused on my prenatal health. And it all facilitated me having a smooth pregnancy and delivery of this little miracle the week before my birthday.

So what does this mean for everything I've built here? Well, if you've been around for awhile, I haven't hidden my intention of wanting to bring 'Safe Place' to a bigger audience outside Inkitt, and my intent is still just that.

☑️ With the beginning of the New Year, I started developmental editing on the book to polish it up more before I send it out to query literary agents for trad publishing.

☑️ If I can't land an agent by Fall this year, then I'll be pivoting and coming out of pocket to indie-publish my works instead. With both of these paths, I'm still gradually expanding my socials (Instagram/TikTok/guests on podcasts/newsletter) and continuing to introduce the world to the shenanigans of Gabe, Jess, and the rest of their Tribe.

☑️Since I am moving forward with this path, I'll also be putting the now-Beta version of 'Safe Place' and 'First Night' behind a subscription tier in the upcoming days. I know there are a few people reading, so this will give them an opportunity to finish up and give any thoughts/critiques and reviews if they so see fit. The way I figure, I have 2-plus years of critiques and reviews amassed--ya girl has been taking notes on how to properly church things up. Lemme say that again--my two main books are going behind a subscription tier in like the next SEVEN DAYS. Don't say I didn't warn ya. (First Spark will stay free since it's literally an excerpt.)

☑️Lastly, if anyone wants to keep themselves up to date on the publishing journey, I would love to hang out with you all over on Instagram! Over there I've been releasing excerpts, 'Writer's Hot Takes', campy humor, and just more of everything. Including--hopefully--some sketches in the upcoming days as I reteach myself how to draw.

Yeah, I used to be a graphic artist back in my early-20s, but fell outta practice. Since I'm currently on hiatus from chef-life and being a Stay-At-Home-Mom, I'm unshelving more of my hidden talents while I raise my little one to think his farts are funny 🤣

So there you have it! Retired USAF, pastry chef on hiatus/new mom who has a love of the written word, and art.

And cookies. Pull up a chair, folks--things are about to get crazy!

Hey guys! Wanna get answers for some of your burning questions? From sneak peeks, writing, or even a little personal?

WELL, I got just the thing! Swing over to my IG and don't be shy!

I mean, one person already asked for a snippet of the next storyline 😅

Doughnuts loved your Vampire story! She is shy about posting,
Good work as always!
Cheers, Gunner.

Hey folks, I'm alive! Gonna make this quick--I'm on Instagram nearly full-time and been having a blast with more content and writer shennanigans while I work towards querying for agents, spending time with family, and just doing the thang! My 'Writer's Hot Takes' series is blowing up and couldn't be more excited bout it too!

As far as future installments of Gabe and Jess' epic stories, I'm still working on those projects; I actually finished Silent Night, and waiting for feedback with beta readers, bout to start working on the crossover book with Lady Nefalum, and also doing some more exciting things I unfortunately have to keep under wraps for the time being (hint: YouTube).

So come hang out with me over on IG--link in my profile!🥰🥰🥰

JFC, all these scam bot accounts following and clogging up the comment sections on chapters! I remember Wattpad having the same issue years ago--is that like, a sign that Inkitt is being seen as a valuable commodity or something? 😅😅😅

Anyways--come follow me on Instagram if ya DON'T wanna deal with the spam, want some shennanigans, and get some insider scoops on what's going on with my books. I'm pretty funny!

Have to say I'm loving this little writing side-quest series I've started!

If you're on Instagram, come over and say hi and hang out! Also come check out the rest of my 'Writer's Hot Take' series, along with snippets of my book, updates, and just all my writer shennanigans! 🥰🥰🥰

Hey y'all! Quick update--yes, I've been around lurking and reading all the messages. I have just been super busy outside the Inkitt stratosphere working on Instagram content creating/branding, working on a business opportunity and workshops with some leading people teaching me the ropes, and also developmental/proof edits on the book I'm preparing to query to agents.

Yup--trying to bring'Safe Place' to the big kids table!

I'm still working on the next novella, and also gonna be starting to work on the crossover with @ladynefalum this fall too. I wish I could say it'll be a quick process, but I'd be lying 😅

In the meantime, come chat with me on Instagram/Threads, and check out my new series, "Writer's Hot Take", where I give my honest opinions on the world of writing, and chat with all my wonderful readers/fellow writers!

Hey! Yeah--YOU!

You ever been curious and wanted to dig into my brain a little? Get some insider scoops on the whole book works, character, spoilers, AND just a bit of my shennanigans?

You do? GREAT! You can, and I'm on Instagram, Threads, AND TikTok. Just look up 'writerdanibrown82' and come chat!

Promise I don't bite. Gabe does--but he's too busy biting Jess😂😏

Okay, so a week turned into TWO weeks 😅

I do sincerely apologize for the delays, but things have been moving pretty damn fast for me behind the scenes, and I'm now just coming up for a bit of air. Lemme fill everyone in on what's been going on!

☑️ Working on cultivating my social media and creator content outside the IG sphere. Right now, Meta is doing the MOST, and for some reason, I can't perform some functions with my Instagram page and it's handicapping my growth. Lemme tell ya, being a content creator (even part-time) is hard. But one thing is for certain and it has to be done, whether I like it or not. As much as I love and appreciate all my followers on Inkitt, keeping myself in one stratosphere does me (or you) any favors long term. I still have my ultimate goal to have a published hardcover book (not just an e-book), to be able to share my work with the rest of the world and also take this as far as it can go. So if you're on Instagram, go holler at yer girl and give a like and a follow. I post up more shenanigans over there. Hell, I even released some teasers to 'Silent Night' in my stories a few days ago. Myself, @🥀Lady Nefalum, and @C. Swallow have been having some EPIC shenanigans over there too!

☑️ Speaking of 'Silent Night'! Right now I'm furiously working on finishing up this novella...so I can have a premiere at the end of July. Yeah, ya heard me right--JULY. There have been some speed bumps along the way dealing with persistent health issues; don't worry, I'm fine, just back and forth doc visits to ensure everything's okay, and I'm continuing on the right path. Let me be vulnerable for a second and be plain with everyone. I'm 42 years old and no spring chicken. I take care of myself pretty damn well, but some things I can't even escape, and that's time. I still have plenty of energy and drive to continue all the ventures that I want to pursue, but I have to be FAR more aware of how I live my life. Not just for myself, but for my family and loved ones as well. 

I'm petty--I wanna live until I'm 100!

☑️Starting October/November, myself and @🥀Lady Nefalum are gonna be locking ourselves away so we can start hammering out details of our epic untitled crossover book! This is something that I've been SUPER looking forward to (just a little nervous), but it's something I'm insanely obsessed and passionate about. Also, while we work on the storyboarding, I'm gonna be starting to query the list of agents and publishing companies I've been coming through for the last several months as well. I would LOVE to get actual representation and move on to trad publishing, and I'm gonna exhaust all avenues before shifting gears to indie publishing if it comes to it. Both roads are hard as fuck, but when have I ever did anything easy?

Well, I'm gonna get back to work cuz deadlines don't wait for anyone. In the meantime, go read Lady's new book "Prey For The Fallen" and show her some love! And if you haven't checked out any of the SIXTY-PLUS amazing books by CSwallow...where the fuck have you been?! That woman is a writing (AND a Galatea author)

Peace out! Back to work for me! 💖💖
