Hey I'm Aki or A. Lawrence! I'm an author and artist. I have four books published, two books on submission, and I have an adorable cat named Fiddle

Digital art of my oc David and his service dragon Thistle sitting on his shoulder. He's a tan man wearing a hoodie and glasses with three black tattoos on his arm. She's fluffy with moth wings, feathery antennae, and a flower at the end of her tail

The cover for Ghost Punch Grim Reflection. It has a skeleton inside of a mirror frame

A very cute white and tabby spotted kitten with huge eyes

"What about art" look. I've tried multiple times to be an art streamer. It just leads to sadness and burnout. I'd rather play cozy games with my friends

A. Lawrence @akiwitch.bsky.social · 10h

I have other games but I really love SDV and I have mods now so that'll probably be fun!

Once this book is done I want to go back to streaming. Probably SDV again. I think I'll draw a new avi...

That would be Stefan! Stefan is a thief. And a liar. He's very good at what he does, as well as being snarky and kind of a brat. He's got a lot of secrets and he's keeping them as close to his chest as possible. (Sorry for the inconsistent sketches I haven't been drawing much)

E.M. Anderson | the author too hot for BlueSky @elizmanderson.com · 21h

and here's a static cover reveal post for people who want to skip the book trailer and/or hate videos! cover art by Lucy Rose

THE LORD OF THE WOOD releases in July 2026, from @hanoversquarepress.bsky.social! #author

preorder now: gatheringvolumes.com/item/44euZQq...

the cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood, framed in gold with gold flowers against a dark teal background around the edges. The cover is teal with a stag of flowers and foliage growing from a twisted tree with flowers growing around it and black ooze dripping from a branch overhead. the title "The Lord of the Wood" is in large white serif text to the left, with foliage growing through the letters closest to the tree, and the author "E.M. Anderson" is in all-caps yellow text at the bottom. the tagline, in smaller yellow text, reads, "Even a beastly woodland protector needs saving..."

"When lonely clockmaker Arthur Throckmorton loses his way in an enchanted forest, he meets the hero of his childhood bedtime stories: the Lord of the Wood. But instead of the mythical figure of his dreams, the Lord of the Wood is a grim man turning into a beast and losing power over a dying forest. If they can’t save the forest before he becomes a beast completely, Arthur will lose the man he's falling for—and never see his family again." Text is in a textbox against a murky image of a forest, with the cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood below the text, all against a dark teal background with gold curlicues in the corners.

The cover of E.M. Anderson's The Lord of the Wood on a dark teal background with golden leaves overhead, surrounded by yellow text reading: plant magic; sentient forest trying to oops! murder people; intensely homoerotic shaving scene; the one who heard the stories and the one who was in the stories; hopeless romantic who's clueless about his own sexuality; Beauty & the Beast inspired by not a retelling; dual-POV brother/sister; love interest turning slowly into a beast; wound-tending.

Fantasy with romance and some cozy elements (but only elements, I say, having just written yet another big monster fight because I cannot ignore the siren call of monster fights)

A fantasy world! Book 1 took place entirely in Aydela, a small kingdom that has a rift full of corrupted aether at its northern border. Part of book 2 takes the characters to Elbryd, the country just south of it, and the Sands, an enormous desert.

#LGBTQWriteAThon this is from Rift and Ruin, and it's probably as silly as you think it is.

“You’ll save me if I fall, right?” Henrik squeezed his fingers much more gently than Fern had.
“Not only will I let you fall, I’ll make sure you do.” Stefan didn’t turn to look at him.
