Meet El
Hey, I'm El and I'm non-binary, Pan/Demi, neurodivergent, chronically ill, and a disabled baddie, and when I say baddie I really mean I am thriving out of spite some days. bah dum tss
Pronouns: they/themI'm a bit eccentric, or as some may say, eclectic, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love my simple moments, good music, tea, and nature. As a witch of over 20 years, I am big on energy and read people quite well and I also own a metaphysical shop and small design company (Reading Reaper Designs).As a reader, my priority reads are all by indie authors so that I can rave about them all and recommend them as much as possible. As a writer, I am still finding my voice, however; I am currently working on several stories which will be out soon!My educational background in business management, marketing, and the sciences has played a huge role in my passion for small businesses, so adding that to my genuine love of romance & indie reads–only makes sense. I am a PA serving amazing authors…but I also write. I’m a passionate ARC/Alpha/Beta reader and a new-to-the-scene blogger, and I am into all kinds of music, arts, and crafts, etc.
