🌻 They really sparked my imagination, and I remember a bunch of stories in notebooks being written after I read the first two books. They really showed me how to make up my own world! It led to me to reading so much fantasy.
Though, my dad probably wanted me to focus on Lion Jesus πŸ˜…

I’m Alex Larkspur, a reader and writer! I’ve always loved reading and making up stories. I would get in trouble for staying up late reading, and there are so many β€œbooks” I made as a kid that I’ve saved through the years! The books that kicked it off were probably the Narnia books🌻

My October Wrap-Up! I had an amazing reading month!
The only book that I didn't finish from my Spooky Reading Goals is The Keeper of Lonely Spirits, which I'm loving, but I'm about 40% through! I'll probably finish it this weekend.

🌿 Share your oc and a plant you associate with them

If there’s one flower I had to associate with Jayce, it would be a lotus. Lotus flowers can symbolise new beginnings, and Jayce’s story in Of Knights is all about starting a new life once he’s free from the Dark Lord.

The cover for Without Wings (A voices of Val'hoon novelette) by Lilly Lockwood. It features an angel statue with their arms crossed over their chest descending from the top right corner with a purple and pink sunset background

What's this? A cover reveal for a brand new novelette slated to be released March 2026?

When a fallen angel is pulled out of freezing water by a stranger that knows far more about angels than any kith should, their entire world changes as they grapple with their new reality of living as a mortal.

Sasha’s loss was particularly hard because he really looked up to his sister! He actually doesn’t feel responsible, but he thinks he knows who’s to blame for it.

#AwesomeCharacters

For Galen in The Need for Dandelions, he is haunted by every time he failed to save someone, even when it was far out of his control.

Sasha, however, is haunted by the death of his sister. And although there isn’t a literal ghost, she is very much with him.

The ebook cover of Phantom and Rook by Aelina Isaacs

On a busy market street in a modern town with tudor architecture a warm glow illuminates the crowds & stores that line the road. There is a seasonal festival, which is evident over this hustle because of the decorations of red & gold bunting and flags crisscrossed cross over head, and sunflowers have been pinned on the beams and roof tops. Between all the people, two men have seen each other. A tall brown man, with a mane of curly black hair, wearing a knitted rainbow duster, looks over his shoulder with the confusion of a clouded memory. He has arms full of shopping in paper bag, herbs, flowers and bottles, he has to be on his way and the crowd is moving, but still he lingers as he looks at the other man. The other man is small, thin, freckled and has a shock of red hair that is firey in the dawn light, he is taking the hood of his green jersey like he is going to pull it over his head, but before he does he looks back at the second man. The heaviness of his heart and thin hope are evident in his face.

Galen from The Need for Dandelions is associated with (drumroll) dandelions! Dandelions are resilient, they keep coming back despite efforts to get rid of them. Although they’re seen as weeds, there’s beauty and benefits to them. And Galen… well.
