COVER REVEAL! 🪾THE WITCH OF THE WOOD🏚️ 📖Novella 🖤MM Fantasy Romance 💀Breaking a Curse 🪾A Spooky Forest ❤️‍🔥Fast Burn 🏚️A Search for a Witch 😟Nervous x Confident 🍂 Coming October 6, 2026 GR: www.goodreads.com/book/show/25... SG: app.thestorygraph.com/books/41b400... Cover by @isthiseva.bsky.social

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.

#AwesomeCharacters Ahh, don't make me choose! 🫣 But if I had to... it's Micah and Terran. They're my comfort characters and I love them dearly. They are so good for each other. 💛 I think a lot of my readers would prefer Galen and Sasha! 🌼 The ship I would hate to see the most is Micah/Edwyn. 😠

Hey authors - never be shy about talking about your upcoming books - 18 months ago I was chatting to a fellow camper in New Zealand. Yesterday I had an email from them telling me they had just bought and read the book and loved it. And it wasn't in their first language. I am grinning.

Check out some new art! My cool artist friend Aowna drew this animal from my fantasy world. The leshiy (pl. leshie) in both its seasonal forms. Inspired by Sawsbuck the Pokemon, I wanted a seasonal deer, but for rainy/dry tropical seasons, and for a more grimdark world! @aowna.bsky.social

Diptych of two deer-like fantasy creatures, the leshiy (pl. leshie) drawn by Aowna.
On the left is a deer in a lush rainforest, with flourishing leaves and pink flowers among its antlers, along its back, and around its tail.
On the right is one with undead features, appearing to be rotted away, with moss hanging off its body, visible bones, and a web in its antlers. The forest behind it looks dead and gloomy

#AprilWorldBuilders 18 The elves have a very important death ritual. When they can/able to, they would take their dead and burry them in the forest. They burry a tree seed with the dead. Then with their magic, they grow the tree. It is like the dead was reborn into a tree. To live a very long time

#AprilWorldBuilders 12 Depends. I would say that they can sense magic very well (6th sense kinda vibe) but also their other senses can be improved due to their ability to shift to other animals. Some might have better senses if they have more animal chrematistics in their appearances #WriteSky

#AntagonistApril 12 Death has been imprisoned for centuries. The Followers of Death plan is to free him. Carter finds himself 'imprisoned' but it's just the way of being a demon. Unable to have your own freedom/body cause you are a spirited bonded to a host. The only way to get a body is a trade

#AprilWorldBuilders 11 Their clothes transform with the Shapeshifts. Shapeshifters can just manipulate them thanks to their reality magic. Some of them have to alter their clothes to accommodate their physical traits they present. Like if any of them have wings, tails, hooves as feet, and so on
