My 86-year-old grandma is LOCKED IN on my taboo horror romance. I checked what page she was on and I am happy to report she made it through the 'impure thoughts about the adoptive brother' and 'joining the church to try to pray the gay away' parts, and she is at the first 'there is only one bed.'

My no spice fantasy novelette A Remedy Earned exists. In it I do not abide by the "we are the good guys, so we don't murder war criminals" rule of fantasy writing. (No spoilers, but this is not a story about someone with Batman morality.) Find it almost everywhere ebooks exist!

More Kam and Philip from On Fluent Haunches on this meme Monday. In this queer horror romance Kam is the bad boy who's trying to get sober. Philip is the repressed, aspiring pastor who's in love with him. What could go wrong? 🙃 Preorders are live on my site.

I think I've identified my writing brand: spooky, sexy, and bizarre.

Since KDP hates me ("technical difficulties") I'm doing pre-orders on my site of On Fluent Haunches for ebooks and paperbacks. Ebooks are epubs, PDFs and Mobi. Note: paperbacks are cheaper than they will be elsewhere to offset the shipping costs. They will also be signed and come with extras!

The authors that made me: K.A. Applegate Anne Rice R.L. Stine Lynn Flewelling T.A. Barron Amelia Atwater-Rhodes Steven King CS Lewis Lewis Carroll Shel Silverstein

Tonight I am going to my first hockey game. A friend couldn't go and thought of me for the tickets. I grew up in the South and have never been exposed to hockey. In the off chance that you know anything about hockey, what do I need to know?

THE PROOF CAME. THE PROOF CAME. THE PROOF CAME. I have a lot of choices to make and I want to do some proofreading (I always find more mistakes in a physical copy, anyone else?) but I am so excited.

Things I have in common with book daddies: I can't use my standing desk at home or Kitten climbs me like a tree.

The Author, The Main Character, The Love Interest, The Setting...

I drew a shitty self portrait for my Amazon Author page and I kind of like it, so I am subjecting you all to it. I am weirdly pleased by remembering how transparency works so I could get my glasses lenses correct. ❤️

Did you know? @bookshop.org is having an Anti-Prime Day sale wherein you can get free shipping for two days? Did you know "Magica Riot" is available in print via @bookshop.org? And that you can support a local bookstore when buying? Did you know I'd appreciate your purchase a bunch?

Today I designed the cover for my paperback and ordered a proof copy and I didn't even crash out about it. Please clap. (Graphic design is not my passion.)

Looking at putting up a placeholder for preorders and I see that Amz doesn't seem to have a horror romance, but they do have Amish and Firefighter romance. ...I didn't realize I was in a smaller niche than *Amish* romance, but here we are.

I have been on a Bluesky hiatus. While I was gone I finished the first draft of a book and am starting another! The horrors persist but so do I

Either I'm done with my book or I need to write another violent murder scene. Decisions, decisions. Just horror romance things.

Kicking off Bisexual Visibility Month with a Vincent Price marathon while I try to get some creative energy flowing. First up? The Pit and the Pendulum. I've never read the story or watched any adaptation so I'm going in blind.

Robot who drinks all the earth's water while goading you into killing yourself can also call the cops on you!

I finished A Rogue Thorn by Lily Meade in 1 sitting if you wanted to know how my day is going. Run, don't walk to get this book if you love Scooby Doo, goths, sapphic yearning, and zany hijinks - not necessarily in that order.

The really juicy stuff:

Going to see Life of Chuck. Am a grieving mess so there is a chance I will cry. Don't let me down Mike Flanagan

Growing up I always tried to run away from my rural roots, but my pen name is Fox and I realized this week that builds on the proud tradition of weird AF animal-themed nicknames I saw adults have in my childhood. I came up knowing men that went by "Buckshot" and "Kitten".

Reading The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue while dealing with incredible grief and contending with mortality will certainly go down as a highlight on the list of questionable reading decisions I've made.

I'm going to send the second draft to the editor today, a week ahead of schedule, because all I needed to lock in on these edits was some Maury Povich/Jerry Springer familial bullshit to disassociate from. I'm so glad I go home, tomorrow.

I have been up since 5:30 and I am writing the last chapter of my book and I am vibrating with excitement and sweet tea that is potent enough to kill weak men. I never write better than when I'm at my grandma's kitchen table.

I am so close to finishing the second draft of my debut it's unreal. My very supportive grandma keeps asking when she can read it. The last scene I have to write is an arcane sex ritual. I don't know how I get myself into these situations.

Two more books underway. Reading is a truly beautiful thing.

Finished two books in the last 24 hours and am about to start a 3rd. I can't be stopped!

funny story, I signed up for personal training at a local gym and was assigned a former NFL linebacker as a trainer giant man, covered in tattoos, big muscles, loud voice I am someone who just… doesn’t have a particularly well-assembled body

pretty sure at that point it counts as a sermon, like that's a cult thing, you go to a romantic talk with 1 woman and 40 men you're just in a cult now

the usual vagueness is present here that is usually a bad sign to come for adult content. bluesky is taking feedback on the guidelines at this link below. Let them know these are not satisfactory docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... points that need addressing are: [cont]

Can't believe people don't get this; but the reason this payment processor shit has to be all or nothing is because once these freaks establish a line on what fiction is or isn't okay the line will only move further and further in. You have to fight against the line entirely.

Dealing with grief and loss is incredibly hard. I hope I get my creative spark back, soon. Or at least in time for me to spend a lot of time in airports this weekend and next.

I've written six pages today. Bless airports and airplanes for being weirdly good to my writer brain.
