About Elani

Meet Elani.

Contemporary Black and Multicultural Romance author.

​

She’s an 80s baby, Scorpio Sun Libra Moon with a penchant for headwraps, kimonos and statement jewelry, and a serious dislike for posting on social media.

​

Writing has been Elani's passion for almost fifteen years, but her path to publication was a journey of its own. After over a decade as a successful blogger, Etsy seller and homeschooling mom to two humans, Elani finally decided to turn her love for storytelling, which started with fan fiction, into a full-time career in 2023.

​

Her inspiration is deeply rooted in the vacations she spent in Chicago with family during her college years. Those days fueled a lifelong obsession with African-American culture, film, and romance (she is forever chasing that Love Jones vibe).

​

After cutting her teeth writing popular Twilight fanfiction (Wolfpack girlies unite, go Blackwater!) back in 2017, Elani released her debut novelette, The Love She Hates, in July 2023. She followed this up with the fan-favorite novel, The Love She Wants, a spicy single-dad romance that remains her most popular read on Kindle Unlimited.

​

Elani is a Caribbean Queen whose characters are much like herself, "wholesomely imperfect" and on a journey to a better life. She's particularly fond of the New Adult genre, and though she hails from the islands, loves to write  Black and Multicultural Urban Contemporary Romance set in fictional American locations.

​

If you love Big Secret revelations, reformed thugs, forbidden love, healing family wounds, BIPOC family or community bonding,  and heroines finding their independence, then you're in the right place!

​

Dive into her Kama Island, Waldon County and Boseman University worlds. Want to know where to start, the best place is at the beginning. Her novel list is in order of publication and is the best way to appreciate how the worlds overlap.
