Sweet & Wild, is out now! 🐝💛🍃 Sweet & Wild is a MM Fantasy Romance featuring nature magic, a sunshine MC, and mysterious spirits in the forest! Universal Link: books2read.com/u/bzNng9 Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/alexlarkspur... Itch: applesncinnamon.itch.io/sweet-wild Cover by the wonderful @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.

Hey. Hey. Please don’t wait for an indie book series to be finished before you pick up the books. Just buy them. Don’t wait. So MANY indie series never get finished because the author gets zero sales on the opening volumes and gives up. Give them a reason to keep going. Buy the books.

Recently celebrated my 40th birthday. Decided to make my own cake. I'm not much of a cake decorator, but this turned out OK. It's 4 layers of vanilla shortcake with raspberry filling and Geman buttercream, topped with mushroom shaped sugar cookies. #birthdaycake #cake #cakedecorating #mushrooms #art

A cake decorated like a mossy tree stump with chocolate bark, mango shelf mushrooms, and mushroom cookies on top.

If you want to beautify a post without loosing accessibility, make the emoji-heavy post a screenshot and add alt-text without the emojis. That way screenreaders can still read the accessible version, and users with a better vision can enjoy the pretty colors. Yeah, alt-text is versatile.

I always feel so sad when I see authors wanting to quit cos of a tough stretch of no or few sales. My streak of sales took ✨ eight years ✨ and there was a gap of no sales RIGHT before it! Don’t give up! Publishing is an uphill climb through an avalanche while in flip flops but you can do it 💪

An E-bike battery burned my house down on the first day of GDC. Seeking mutual aid from financially stable colleagues. gofund.me/47306b15

A column of fire envelops an RV in a pine forest late at night.

My bedroom and office reduced to ashes. The metal walls and roof are largely destroyed, revealing the forest beyond.

A class C RV gutted by fire. The heat of the fire has killed most of the plant life in a nearby garden.

After much delay and spoon-foraging, The Viridian Dream is now available across multiple platforms and retailers in ebook format. (Paperback to come after another round of spoon-foraging.) Universal Book Link: books2read.com/u/4Ejk1M

A half-dragon woman crouches on one knee and is mostly in shadow. The part of her body in light appears human while the rest of her is a silhouette of scales, horns, and wings with silver smoke rising off of her. In front of her is the book title, "The Viridian Dream"

Do NOT go to the US if you speak up for human rights, are Arab, or trans. The US is literally disappearing foreigners, full stop. They will go through the Arabs, the trans folks, and the protestors, and then start to disappear any other undesirables until all that's left is obedient pure fascists.

Because I'm a complete goddamn nerd, I'd like to explain to folks (particularly Liberals) what a feint is, in sword fighting. People think it means "a fake attack." It doesn't.

Ngl, I saw a post about trans authors writing trans characters and someone labeled them as authors who would cause dysphoria, and whoo boy, that is not for one person to decide. One trans person's dysphoria is another person's empowerment. (This had a very transmed slant 🫠) 1/

A hyperactive undead dragon child who is knowledge incarnate, wears a crown possessed by the ghost of her mentor, and sings songs about beheaded nobles couldn't possibly be a better choice. No way this could go wrong.

"time spent writing" really should include the number of Wikipedia rabbit holes one goes down for worldbuilding purposes. In completely unrelated news, I suddenly know a lot more about ethical silk production, which sure helped me write two whole sentences in a scene.
