#ThrowbackThursday Breakup is a very short, steamy, bittersweet story. One of my first published works, it still has a special place in my heart. It's free everywhere, but won't be for long, since I'm including it in the Alaska Shifters collection coming in November! shop.ellenmillion.co...

I have been sitting on this character artwork by @selinafenech.bsky.social for so long!! The Royal Dragons of Alaska was my first series as Elva Birch and I love this alternate Alaska so much. Cool fact: I came up with the book covers before I had even a whiff of a plot.

Royal Dragons of Alaska covers with northern lights dragons in the sky and the text: Reluctant royalty! Relentless enemies! A complete series with a thrilling conclusion.

Character artwork of two figures standing back to back but looking at each other longingly. Northern lights dragons to the right.

I had the incredible good luck to see the Kilauea eruption a few days before Christmas. Woke up randomly at 1 am to find that the fog had lifted and we had a clear view of fountains up to 1400 feet right out our hotel window. An AMAZING experience.

2025 certainly was a lot of year in a year. I only published four books, but I wrote 5. I did more art than I have in a while, and ran two Kickstarters and did 13 in-person shows. I feel pretty good about my successes, learned from my failures, and am glad for my health and family.

Most of my mushroom photos are in the woods, where mushrooms can grow on rotting logs and drink swamp water. Not this guy. This mushroom is made of grit and f*ck you, living his best life in a busy intersection, sucking nutrients out of gravel and cigarette butts. I salute you, mushroom.

A small drab mushroom growing out of concrete, with the corner of a truck mirror, because it's also the middle of an intersection.
