Welcome to the Wildwoods.

 

I’m Alex (she/her), the curator of this particular wildwood of sins.

 

Whether it’s a six-foot-four alpha shifter who considers "boundaries" a personal challenge, a mafia king with a very specific set of knotting skills, or a stepbrother who missed the memo on family brunch etiquette—if it’s spicy, BL/MM, and likely to make your therapist sigh, it lives under my roof.

 

I founded HeartString Media because I don't just want a story; I want the burn. I’m drawn to the friction where high-voltage passion meets soul-shaking emotional depth—the kind of heat that leaves a mark. I wanted a forest where every path leads to a fated mate and every shadow hides a protector with a possessive streak. I don’t just write books; I build multiverses of dominant men and the alphas, omegas, and monsters who love them.

 

I write across several pen names because one personality simply couldn't contain this much chaos:

​

• Ruby Rose Wynter: My supernatural and urban romantasy—where the magic has a dark edge, hell-gates breach, and the stakes are life-or-death.

• ​

• Poppy Wei Lian: My Xianxia and cultivation—where ancient souls are fated, demonic sects rule, and hidden powers shake the heavens.

• ​

• Zara K. Lee: My paranormal, and romantasy—where the magic is ancient, the "heats" are primal, and the chemistry is explosive enough to fog up your e-reader.

• ​

• Ivy Hayward: My dual-threat for fantasy and historical romance. Whether it’s an epic secondary world or a 1990s-style "bodice ripper" brought into the modern mm age, expect sweeping romance, fated knots, and stakes that reach for the throat.

• ​

• Kira M. Rose: For the gritty, blood-stained suits of the mafia and billionaires who think "No" is just the start of a negotiation.

• ​

• The Curator’s Desk: My archive is constantly expanding. I’m always in the stacks, curating new obsessions and adding more "Deep & Crazy" to the list. (Hint: The library is growing, and the stories are only getting more intense.)

 

I believe in high-heat, soul-deep bonds, and the kind of fated connections that usually involve a healthy dose of "taboo."
