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 out now! 🐝💛🍃
Sweet & Wild is a MM Fantasy Romance featuring nature magic, a sunshine MC, and mysterious spirits in the forest!

Same. I tried numerous times yesterday and I wasn't receiving the 6-digit code. Then last night, I received a flood of texts with all the codes. 🙄 Was successful today, though.

Just deleted my TikTok account because it's now tainted by the regime. I had built up a great audience over there & was preparing to launch a store for my books. 🤬 So, if you're involved in the book community & despise the regime, let's be friends. 💙📚📚💙 #writingcommunity #writer #books #FDT

I don't remember my brothers having particular nicknames for me. Definitely could have compartmentalized and buried that shit deep, though.

Still love your dumpling feet. 😘

My phone charger glitched out, so I wasn't able to post while on the road yesterday in order to conserve the battery. This was taken Sunday night at the pet-friendly hotel in NY. Mac was the first to explore.

After some drama that left my brother looking like he went a round with Edward Scissorhands, we got the cats loaded and hit the road.
The cats are now free to roam about the cabin.

Let's talk about book marketing!

YouTube video by Pa. House Video Benham: Defending the Rights of Autistic People

As the first openly autistic legislator in the #PAHouse, I will continuously fight for the rights of those of us on the spectrum. Don’t let the hateful rhetoric from D.C. prevent you from achieving your dreams! #AutismAcceptanceMonth youtu.be/t0H_4kRPEZc

A grad student. A green card. A two-page memo. That’s all it took. Marco Rubio, Trump’s Sec. of State, used a 1952 law to deport Khalil for defending Palestinians. No crime. No trial. Just speech. This isn’t security—it’s censorship. Who’s next? Full article: www.facebook.com/share/p/19M7...

Psst...cover and blurb for Loyalty & Lies to be revealed soon! This is book one of the New L.A. Mafia duet, and a spin-off of The New Mafia Trilogy. :)

BOREAL: An Anthology of Taiga Horror Release Day It's here! It's finally here!

It's here! It's here! BOREAL is here! Take a peek at my blog post about the creation of BOREAL that went out this morning and if you haven't gotten yours yet, hop to it! There are so many dark corners of the forest to explore!

Please Read:

If you live in district 24 (parts of east side of Bangor, Veazie and Orono), there is a special House election today at the Cross Center. Democrat Sean Faircloth could use your vote. Democrats hold a slim majority in the Maine House and we need to keep every seat we can!

I'm proud of my governor! I've had the privilege of meeting Janet Mills several times (pictured here with her & my parents at The Blaine House). More people in leadership positions need to follow her lead & stand up/push back. As Maine goes, so goes the nation.

Didn't even know about The Golden Palace.
