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.

Meme: your future self is talking shit about you
Reply: Joke's on him.
I'll fucking ruin his life.

Sketch of Kam - white young man with light hair and full lips

Meme: I flirt by having the eyes of a neglect pet.

Then a sketch of Philip - a dark, curly haired young man with a big nose and a sad expression

On Fluent Haunches cover with tropes around it: happy ending, bad boy + good boy, taboo romance (adoptive siblings), first time, forbidden romance, found family, only one bed.
Out December 15, 2025

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

Fox @crossedmoss.bsky.social · 1d

It's currently only US shipping for physical copies, because I have to figure out what my international options are, but I'll keep you posted.

Come and get your taboo, horror romance!

Fox @crossedmoss.bsky.social · 1d

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!

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?

Fox @crossedmoss.bsky.social · 5d

Absolutely!

Fox @crossedmoss.bsky.social · 5d

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.

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. ❤️

A self portrait of Fox drawn in a vaguely cartoon style. Pale skin, brownish hair, purple lensed glasses. Multiple nose piercings.

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.
