Started reading my first (and hopefully not only) book of 2026. The Haunting of Hill House. I saw a play of it around Halloween and wanted to give 'er a read for the full experience 😁
I recently updated both the e-book and paperbacks for Vivisection of Faith to clean up some typos that slipped through and improve readability here and there. Nothing major and nothing plot related, so if you’ve already read it, fear not.

Haven’t posted in a little while, been on a Sims 3 binger 😅, but I’m still kicking. I’ve got a few crumbs of news to come(no, not book 3. Not yet lol), but for now I’ll leave you with this quick Vulfrey doodle I scrawled between load screens.
Just one day left~

It's been several years since I did the cast of The Vessel's Blood. Let's hope I don't fuck this up 😅
Look! I'm finally working on those new profile cards this morning. Here we have a certain guardswoman who appears in Vivisection of Faith 🗡️
Found a millipede at the bowling alley this morning. These cuties are what a certain critter in The Vessel's Blood was based upon. Just a lil bit bigger...
Stickers!
My creative process is feverishly scrawling notes in the dark moments before sleep.
This sour-faced shot of Vulfrey in black and silver has been part of my promo art for Belarythm’s Branches since well before book 1 released, but the scene itself is actually from book 2, Vivisection of Faith! What deeper meaning does it have? Where is he? Well, you’ll have to read it to find out😉
Image of a person standing in a field of flowers with a river in front and mountains in the horizon with light rain falling and months flitting. Words Kobo Plus Sci Fi, Fantasy and Paranormal on top of the image.

Finished Wyrd Sisters yesterday. Absolutely loved it. The witches are all so endearing, Granny especially! Next up, it's volume 3 of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. We're going one volume a year it looks like lol
Cleaning up my desk this morning. Trying to conquer the cat fuzz. I might be losing that battle, but at least I found my Hygogg's missing thumb.
A graphic with a forest background. It features the cover of Sweet & Wild and the text: Special Price! $1 Digital on Ko-Fi and Itch until September 5, 2025 The cover looks as follows: 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.
I can't believe that Sweet & Wild has been out in the world for an entire month! To celebrate, I'm having a sale on my Ko-Fi and Itch! You can get the digital version for just $1 for the next week! 💛

Ulysses reviews The Vessel's Blood by Joseph Gorne
"Gorne creates a complex religious context as a backdrop for the adventures of his young heroes... a compelling and emotionally engaging epic. I’ve already purchased book 2. 4 stars."

I drew these back in 2016. Or was it 2015? Idk, it’s been a minute.
Bonus version with 100% more nipple 🤭

As for Old Toadie’s, Jory spends much of his free time(and time working at the magic shop) sketching. Especially lewd things(but don’t we all lol).
