Both Galen and Sasha are obnoxiously stubborn at times!
Galen refuses to admit to anyone that his workload is too much. It takes a magical disease for him to finally ask for help!
Sasha is equally as stubborn! It takes a lot to change his mind, but he is getting better!

Still booking for the summer!

I received some amazing feedback this week as well 🥰

What others have said about working with me:

"The experience gave me a pulse check on my story and a final polish that left the text glimmering. Steph helped me cut the clutter without losing my voice."

Yeah! 😓It's just SO him!
I love The Oh Hellos in general so they always make their way onto my writing playlists. Originally, his song was going to be "I Have Made Mistakes" but I listened to the lyrics of Eustace Scrubb more carefully and I was like... Oh. Oh, yeah.

Over the background of a Medieval City a portrait of a young man with tan skin, red hair, and a large burn scar. Next to him is a box that reads "Brother Galen from The Need for Dandelions" Below is another box that reads "Fuck It I'm a Flower" by Crying Day Care Choir beside their album cover

Over the background of a Medieval City a portrait of a young man with light skin and short, light brown hair. Next to him is a box that reads "Sasha Rider from The Need for Dandelions" Below is another box that reads "The Lament of Eustace Scrubb" by The Oh Hellos beside their album cover

While writing The Need for Dandelions, I had "theme songs" for both of the leads, Galen and Sasha! These songs represent who these characters are, so if you'd like a preview of their personalities, here you are!

Artwork of Kye and Jude from Name Her Holy, with a tweet overtop that reads “would you date the unwilling vessel for several ancient and unknown deities? Be honest…” Kye is cradling Jude’s jaw in her hand leaning in to kiss her, Jude is happily going along with it

Everyday the CHR draft torments me, especially on days I don’t have any time to write

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! THE BRIGHTEST BLAZE releases tomorrow! It's only a day away!
This is the book where I had to get some stuff off my chest about current events. It's a love letter to queer joy and community and fighting the good fight.
Let's head back to Vector City one more time. 💥

It’s still a very lovely flower bursting up! 😊🌼

Now reading…

Between You, Me, and the Moonlit Sea by Linn Silver. It features the two main characters, Bell and Tae, standing back to back and looking at the viewer. Their hands are loosely clasped together. Behind them is the beach and a large full moon, all done in shades of purple and blue. (Art by @cryling.)

Ch.2 of Between You, Me, & the Moonlit Sea is finally available to read! Due to the explicit nature of this chapter it's only for paying members, but you can get access to it for as little as $1!

The cover of The Feywild Job by C. L. Polk

So I don't know what to say about this book. Ten years after Saeldian ditched Kell in Baldur's Gate, they're back together for one last job

Kell will get everything he ever wanted. Saeldian will lose everything they have except the power that keeps them safe--but it's the least they can do for him.

hi I'm available for work and would love to do more comics, comic covers, book covers or other illustration work✨💕

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.

Sweet & Wild is available now!

#QueerPrompts March 9
I love a character with a green thumb! Juniper & Thistle is still in a very intense editing stage, but Sweet & Wild is out and The Need for Dandelions releases on the 31st!
All of these main characters have a green thumb!

A graphic with a green floral wall background. At the bottom is a wood desktop. On top of the desk are a stack of old books on either side of the typewriter. The typewriter has a paper sticking out of it with black text reading “queer book submissions open” and a black line underneath it. At the top of the graphic is the Rainbow Crate and Rainbow After Dark logos. Under the logos it reads “Calling all authors!” in white text with a black outline. Under this it says “Submit your book for consideration in RC or RAD through the link in our bio or on our website!” in gray text with a black outline.

🌈 Calling all authors! We are looking for authors who want a special edition of their book included in Rainbow Crate, Rainbow After Dark, or as a special edition set!

We are especially looking for trans, nonbinary, aromantic, asexual, and intersectional stories. 🧵

#QueerWriters

This week my goals are:

💛 Finish Draft of DragonWIP
💛 Finish Outline for SwordWIP
💛 Finish Beta Reads and Give Feedback
💛 Read at least three books

I’m pretty close on a lot of these, so it’s definitely doable!

Same! I was so very excited for it! Then I just felt let down. 🫤

New account for @ritacoolbeans.bsky.social because I got tired of trying to convince this site that I am over 18 and therefore the Aus government's law to ban under 16s from social media shouldn't affect me 🙃

So we're starting fresh with a new age verified account!
