She/he/they, 26, AuDHD currently writing urban romantasy with blood magic, boys kissing, and hard drugs- oh my! No Gen-Ai. PFP by Mona Estrella, Header by me! 🔞 Feel free to call me EB or Evie :D

I’ll be streaming again this Sunday! I want to try doing an art stream! I wasn't sure how the sketch was coming along, but I showed it to David and he went "look at him and his slutty little abs :) " so I'm taking that as a good sign ART STREAM THEN MAYBE SKYRIM Sunday, 4PM EST/1PM PST/9PM GMT

A sketch of a shirtless Callon, looking rather smug. The text reads “art stream! Sunday, 4 PM EST/ 1PM PST / 9PM GMT

I really had to dig in my brain for this one. Not a romance novel, but I have a clear memory of buying this on a trip to the mall when I was 12, then shoving it in my bag in hopes of my parents not finding it LOL Baby’s first yuri… #SumLove

Do you remember the first romance novel you read? Where did you get it from? 🧡 #SumLuv 🧡

Romance Writers Summer of Love #SumLuv @EllieYellu Day 5: Romance Reads. What was your introduction to romantic fiction?

I had a choice between a really sweet, tender moment of Alyx carrying an injured Callon to a bathtub to tend to his wounds, or Callon being forced to stay at work late because his co-workers are idiots. I chose the latter. #WIPSnips

Callon held his head in his hands. "How the fuck do you accidentally beat a man to death? The fuck is wrong with you?!"
"..." one of the men trailed off, bashfully looking away. "I don't know, I just got carried away. Sorry."
"Sorry? Sorry?! Do you know how long it's gonna take to clean this mess up?!
The commander spoke up, "that's what I told him, boss, but by the time I-"
"Shut up. Both of you, just. Just shut up," Callon sighed, clasping his hands together as he worked through the steps in his head.
This wasn't the first time someone would be beaten to death in an office, and it likely wouldn't be the last.

The word for August 5th is “carrier”

It's officially my birthday! 37 years means I get 37 wishes, right? jk jk I do not need or want anything, but if you're feeling up for it, a kind word about my book would go a long way—such as a rec to a friend/family member, a review on Goodreads or StoryGraph, or a repost of the ongoing sale. ❤️

This fucking guyyy Jokes aside, I love the idea that when Callon needs to lock-in, he locks in. Cat-like grace. Can kill you in a single shot. Can run a 5K like it’s nothing. Off the job? Absolute clumsy doofus. Falling down the stairs. Tripping over air. #AwesomeCharacters

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters You and all your characters are staying together somewhere! You hear a loud crash, then silence. Which one do you immediately suspect, and what do you think just happened? Are you worried or mad? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

I had someone ask on stream why Alyx looked so mad, and while he DOES have chronic rbf, his career keeps him from drinking, getting high, and even caffeine. Bro can’t have shit!! Give my man a break!! (Said the author, who in fact, will not give him a break.) #WIPSnips

Callon took a long drag, blowing the smoke out into the air. "Thanks." He held the box towards Alyx, offering him one.

Last time didn't count. This one will be it. Alyx took a cigarette, lighting it with the tip of his finger.

"Aren't you like, not supposed to drink or smoke if you do blood magic shit?" Asked Callon. "Like, it'll fuck with people's blood?

"You can, it's not like it stays in your blood stream forever. But it's better you just…don't,” Alyx shrugged. “I'm not in a hospital or anything right now, so... I figured I'd quit tomorrow."Alyx and his resting bitch face, with a chibi of him and Callon to the right.

The image behind the text is a border that is dark blue with gold stars with a black background with neon blue border. An illustrated caticorn holding a pencil and writing in a book with a rose behind one ear is in the lower right corner. A different version of the same illustrated caticorn is curled up writing in the lower left corner

This is genuinely one of my favorite interactions between Alyx and Callon like. Their banter. Callon’s undiagnosed ADHD. Alyx painting Callon’s nails for him. I love it so much, this scene is like a Golden Corral buffet for me personally. More of a snippet than a line but!! Aaaa! #FaveLineFriday

Snippet from my draft, reading:

Alyx grabbed it, Callon's name lighting up the screen. He continued to write once he answered, holding the phone on his shoulder. "Kinda in the middle of something, what's up?"
"I think you have my wallet," said Callon. His voice was muffled, as if something was in his mouth.
"...Are you biting your nails?"
"..Yeah. Why?"
"Stop that," Alyx snapped. "It took me like an hour to paint them for you."
"Sorry." Callon's voice became just a little clearer.
"But uh...! have your wallet."
He paused, setting the clipboard down. "What?"
"Dude, I'm looking at your ID right now. You look really weird without the beard, by the way. No offense," he laughed. "You're like a big, angry baby."
He let out a sigh, "shut up, I'll check." He grabbed the wallet he assumed was his from his pocket.
Upon opening it up, he saw an ID that most definitely was not his. ".
'..Well, shit."

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.
