The cover ➡️ The first page Sweet & Wild is available now! You can even read the entire first chapter on my website! Uni Link: books2read.com/u/bzNng9 Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/alexlarkspur... Itch: applesncinnamon.itch.io/sweet-wild First Chapter: alexlarkspur.weebly.com/sample.html Cover by @northyme.com

A young man, Micah, kneels in a field of purple flowers. He holds a bundle of purple flowers in one hand while reaching to gather more with his other hand. He has peach skin, golden hair, and brown eyes. He wears a white shirt, brown pants, and a wide-brimmed straw hat with flowers woven through. Behind him, there is a verdant forest of trees. Bees buzz around the man as he looks down towards his work. The title, Sweet & Wild, is above him and the author’s name, Alex Larkspur, is below him.

1: The Forest
[Illustration of flowers)
The trees welcomed Micah Harlow like an old friend even though he had never been in this particular forest. It had been a rainy few days, but the spring morning was finally crisp and cool, not a sweaty, unforgiving, humid monstrosity. Instead, it was a perfect day for foraging. Micah stepped carefully through the trees, humming to himself, avoiding mud puddles as best he could. As he leapt from one root to the next, his worn leather satchel bounced on his hip and the milk bottle in his carry basket fell over. He took a moment to right the bottle—luckily none had spilled—and continued his search.
Sun dappled between the oak leaves and danced on the ground. Birds twittered around him, filling the morning air with their songs. He could hear animals scampering through the underbrush. He straightened his wide-brimmed straw hat and pushed up his sleeves. A grin spread across his freckled face when he spotted exactly what he was looking for.
Every forest, whatever its size, has its guardian spirit. And the forest outside of Roseyard was anything but small. Micah’s mother had always taught him that before taking anything from the forest, you should make an offering to its spirit. They did it every week when she was still alive, back in Steephall, where the woods were considerably

I write stories about characters who spend time figuring out who they are, accepting themselves, and joining communities where they feel loved and supported for who they are 🫂💜 The magic or worlds might be different, but the themes will always reflect on these experiences in some way!

And again, I’m not saying all these adaptations are bad! Some are very good. But why did every single one have to be live action? Couldn’t we have gotten some additional animated imaginings of scifi & fantasy books? How much are we missing out on from a TV & film industry so wedded to live action?

You know what? I'm not done. Reading to your child, especially baby, when able to is almost the bare freaking minimum to help their neurological development. The physical contact w/a baby (them being on a lap or in arms) helps w/emotional regulation & reassurance. AI tech bros are THE WORST.

READ TO YOUR CHILD. They follow along. They see colors & shapes & are introduced to how words look on the page. Why do you think they make the books bright & colorful, you absolutely overcooked noodle? Proof that AI bros really do have NO CLUE why/how things work, nor do they care.

The cover of The Witch of the Wood by Alex Larkspur. It features two men in a dark and gloomy forest. Milo stands in front, a man with tan skin and short, dark hair. He’s dressed in a cream tunic and a green cloak around his shoulders. He has a bow and arrows. He is clearly afraid as he stares at his left hand. His fingers are blackened due a curse that is spreading across his hand. Another man, Cam, is turned the other way and holding Milo’s right hand. He’s looking over his shoulder and looking at Milo with concern. His clothes are bright, colorful, and patchwork. The gloom of the forest mutes their color. The trees seem to close in around them.
