The cover of Wild & Sweet by Alex Larkspur
It features two men, Micah and Terran, gazing at each other in a forest. Micah has blond hair, peach skin, and freckles. He's wearing a cream shirt and a straw hat. He's gripping the strap of his bag and blushing as he looks up at Terran. Terran is a tall man with tan skin and a dark brown hair that trails into green. He has pointed ears and antlers. He's wearing a brown shirt and a silver necklace and is crossing his arms as he smiles down at Micah

Milo stood at the edge of Hatwick Wood. At least his family had outfitted him well. His eldest brother loaned him his fine wool cloak, the dark green perfect for hiding in the forest. John warned him to bring it back unscathed or face his wrath. Milo nearly handed it back to John right there and then, certain that he wouldn’t be alive to return the cloak in any condition. His grandfather had glared that urge away.

I hate asking this, but earlier my student loan payment went out twice (glitch) and they're unable to refund me. I thought I'd be good until payday, but my job is a bit inconsistent w/ when the money goes in. 😓 If anyone wants to buy a book from Ko-Fi, I'd appreciate it! 💛 ko-fi.com/alexlarkspur...

ARC Requests for The Witch of the Wood are now open! The book comes out on October 6, 2026. It's a spooky MM fantasy romance! Check out the pictures for more info! If you are interested, please fill out this form: forms.gle/MEwJFGintxVL...

Over a dark forest:
The Witch of the Wood
- Novella
- MM Fantasy Romance
- Breaking a Curse
- A Spooky Forest
- A Search for a Witch
- Nervous x Confident

There was a witch hiding in the trees of Hatwick Wood. They were a steward of the wood, caring for the alders, maples, and cedar within, watching over the home of the beasts and birds. The witch ensured that villagers never took more than they gave, that they were never ravenous in their consumption of the gifts they were given. This was the witch’s sacred duty, and their magic had flown wild and free as they upheld their oath.
The people who survived on the generosity of Hatwick Wood—every denizen from Farbreak at the south edge to Northpost on the opposite side—respected the witch. Although they had never seen the steward of the wood, stories about the witch had been passed down through the families. Everyone knew the witch was the forest caretaker, and if anything ever went wrong, they needed to be found to mend it. No one knew this better than the Ashtons.
Milo Ashton came from a long line of people who made their living in the forest. His grandfather, and his grandfather’s grandfather, and every generation before that were hunters. It wasn’t work that would make them rich, or elevate them above common folk, but it was good, honest work that would always be needed. The Ashtons had always hunted in Hatwick Wood, respected it, and in turn, the wood gave them a bounty.
That all changed when Hatwick Wood was cursed.

A picture of a young man with tan skin and short dark hair wearing a green cloak and tan shirt. A bow is slung over his shoulder. He looks nervous. Next to him is a box that reads: Milo Ashton - A hunter tasked with breaking the curse on Hatwick Wood. Uncertain, nervous, but determined to do right.
A picture of a young man with shoulder-length dark-brown hair and brown skin wearing colorful clothes. He has a big smile on his face. Next to him is a box that reads: Cambium - An energetic young man who is living in Hatwick Wood. Unaffected by the curse that lingers in the forest. Outgoing, bold, but willing to help where he can.

Is it really "old man yaoi" or are the characters just in their 30s?

Over a picture of a medieval city, a pink text box reads:
What ARC Readers Are Saying:

“I adored how the relationship between Galen and Sasha grew and blossomed.”

“Absolutely one of the best books I have read all year!”

“The worldbuilding is interesting, inclusive and diverse.”

“It's been such a delight to follow both Galen and Sasha's stories and how they intertwine together.”

“As a life long dandelion supporter and lover, the way it's used in this means a lot to me and I just love, love it”

Next to it, there's the cover for The Need for Dandelions.
Book cover description: Two men stand back to back surrounded by depictions of dandelions. The man angled to the front is Galen. He has tan skin, red hair, and hazel eyes. A large portion of his face is covered by a burn scar. He wears a yellow tunic and brown pants, along with a pink flower pendant. He lifts up one hand, and looks concerned. The other man, facing towards the back but looks over his shoulder, is Sasha. He has light brown hair, dark brown eyes, and stubble. He is wearing leather armor and green shirt and pants. He is holding a sword.

my reading wrapup for March! most of it I spent in a hyperfixation, either stardew valley or flight rising, so it’s a miracle I got any reading done actually. the brief period of March 10-14 was actually when I was transitioning between hyperfixations lmao

A photo of my reading wrapup for March, featuring two books (a Tokyo Ghoul volume and The Mistake by Elle Kennedy). I read 521 pages, and my average rating was 3.5. my storygraph is @keiransage. I only read on March 10 and March 14th, where I binge read both of those books, respectively
