Elizabeth Barone writes romance with a body count—sometimes figuratively, sometimes literally (but always fictionally, for legal reasons). She writes both because life isn’t just dark or light, it’s both.

Before publishing her debut novel, she was a web designer writing code instead of stories. It took a debilitating autoimmune disorder to shove her onto the path she was always meant to be on.

Elizabeth has published over a dozen novels, and has so many ideas for more, she finally has the job security she always dreamed of. She lives in Connecticut with her husband Mike, more coffee mugs than she’ll ever need, and too many characters “talking” to her.

I was agonizing over everything: low sales, an upcoming podcast interview, the book that I am writing (Leaving Hopeville). At the same time, I got slammed with a pretty bad episode of depression. Being human is fun. I realized that I needed to let go of all the things that I was clinging to. Mostly, I had this perfect image in my head of how things should be, how my life as an author should be. Letting go and saying "it is what it is" helped me so much.

I didn't stop caring, but I did stop obsessing.

I also had to do some things to help heal my mind: therapy, medication, journaling, etc. I'm still doing all of those things to stay on track, and I'm still practicing letting go. :)(less)

Dark romance with a body count
🌻 August 2026 🌻

Hello lovelies!

I’ve been busy this summer! I’ve also been super sick. My neurologist increased a few of my meds, my rheumatologist put me on a longer, higher dose steroid taper, and I’m still flaring. Lupus is just a series of fires to be put out… and some of them are like those underground coal mine fires, burning forever. My dysautonomia’s like that, la
