One month since YIELD UNDER GREAT PERSUASION came out! Cozy m/m romantasy about second chances, the hard journey of self-forgiveness and growth, and a one-sided enemies-to-lovers situationship. Go check it out, it's good and I'm proud of it!

@_alexrowland Do yourself a favor and read Yield Under Great Persuasion. /end

Let’s talk cozy fantasy books.
One of my gripes with a lot of them is that they tend to feel a bit…lacking in emotional depth. I love a feel-good book, but I also wanna feel the whole spectrum of emotion, and I’ve always wished there were cozy books that could give me that. 1/?

[ari ! @meridianriver]

@_alexrowland he’s stuck in a rut with the man he hates (i.e. loves) bc deep down he doesn’t believe he deserves love.
There’s also gardening, horses, a festival, an agriculture goddess who gives great hugs, and 2 men who have a lot to work through to be able to love each other properly. 3/4

Fellas, I believe I have created the funniest way to reccomend books to people: documentary style *jazz hands*
Go read Yield Under Great Persuasion if my 3 hour hard work has persuaded you :)

@Amesmann240501 @_alexrowland I’m losing it ames this is so fucking funny

[bay leaf 🌿🍃 @Taryo8888]

Looking for a cozy fall read? YIELD UNDER GREAT PERSUASION by @_alexrowland is the perfect book to take with you to a pumpkin patch. It’s a cozy romantacy about love and relationships and the efforts we put into each. And most importantly it’s about giant, phallic vegetables!

[ari ! @meridianriver]

I think Yield Under Great Persuasion might be one of my favorite @_alexrowland books! definitely in my top 5 books I’ve read this year. if you like cozy fantasy, queer romance, and emotional catharsis, this just might be the book for you!

Running Close to the Wind is HILARIOUS. In between all the shenanigans are emotions, beautiful prose, fascinating worldbuilding, and a poignant message about the radical act of claiming ownership over yourself and your story.
