Hi! I'm Rose. I write spec fic & love stories. I also do art & sew & make short movies. If you do/like any of these, say hi. Tell me about what you also do/like. (Is this how to make friends on the internet?)

Also, here are my books. Aren't they cute? (Cover art: Gega Datunashvili & Passant Ablal)
On a blue and pink ombre background, there's a picture of a pink-haired woman above images of two book covers. One book, titled Lesser Demons, shows a girl with blue hair in a fighting stance. The second, titled Love & Joy, shows a couple walking on a snowy street.

Excerpt from my book LESSER DEMONS, from a moment when the main character’s understanding of the world and herself is changing irretrievably.

The cartoon brain is slumped onto the floor now with its face turned up in comical despair. Words below it say, "Why is it so haaaard???" The cartoon brain is slumped onto the floor now with its face turned up in comical despair. Words below it say, "Why is it so haaaard???" The cartoon brain is back on its feet, its hands clasped together. Words below say, "We could do something else..." The cartoon brain holds its hands out and smiles beguilingly. The words say, "How about we do something else...?"

Last day to enter the StoryGraph giveaway for LESSER DEMONS. Access the giveaway through this link: www.rosecardfaux.com/links

LESSER DEMONS is an upper YA sci-fantasy with a strong female lead, unique narrative voice, immersive world building, lovable cast of characters, and slow burn romance.
Girl with blue hair stands in a defensive stance. On the top left, faded white letters say “Lesser Demons: Book 1 in the Way Reader Series.” In the bottom left, white text says, “Zanny’s pretty sure she’s not the kind of person who saves worlds, but she’s absolutely going to try.”

In situations where someone else might go, “womp womp,” my 11 year old has taken to humming the first notes of Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” in a melancholy tone.

“Hey buddy, it’s time to stop video games and do homework.”
“MM-mm-mm-MMMMMMMM.”

11 year old and I made these chocolate chip cookies from this Stardew Valley cookbook. Ours did not turn out as aesthetically-shaped as the ones pictured in the book, but they sure tasted good.
Picture of over-large chocolate chip cookies laid out on a cooling rack. Behind them is an open recipe book in a clear plastic book holder. The book shows a picture of beautifully-domed chocolate chip cookies in an appropriate size.

I am now someone who wears glasses. At least when I’m working at the computer or otherwise “up close.” These are supposed to relieve eye strain and reduce neck tension and migraines. Here’s hoping it works!

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Me watching baseball for the first time in over a decade: “Wow. Professional baseball players are so young these days.”

Me realizing that actually I myself am just much older:

Throwback to Halloween last year:

After falling victim yet another time to the “I’ll just check my socials for a minute” trap, these words started going through my head. So, to entertain myself, I turned the words into whatever this is.

Happy Halloween!

Here’s a little Halloween haunting. This animation practice didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted, but hey, I’m not going for perfection. This is from my book LESSER DEMONS, which is not about literal demons, but might spook you nonetheless.

I asked Threads for recs on where to donate locally to help people losing SNAP benefits. I got a ton of good responses, so I made a google doc of the ones that interested me most & decided to share it.

I only knew the modern meaning of "Luddite" until recently. Turns out, the Luddites were badass, actually. So you get a thread! And now you'll know too!

My daughter and I did some Hello Kitty nail stamping for Halloween. I didn’t get good pictures of it, but here are some sort of grainy/blurry ones.
Two hands with nails painted in shimmery orange and stamped with Halloween-themed Hello Kitty illustrations in sparkly black. Kid fingers, painted in shimmery orange and stamped with Halloween-themed Hello Kitty illustrations in black. Two kid thumbs painted in shimmery orange and stamped with Halloween-themed Hello Kitty illustrations in black.

LESSER DEMONS came out 2 yrs ago today, & I was reminiscing about everything leading up to its release. This was my first ever cover reveal. I had so much fun making it & was so proud of it. www.instagram.com/reel/DQUhEPx...

Really enjoyed the Las Vegas Book Festival. Big thanks to everyone who stopped by my table, chatted, showed interest in my books, and even took some home with you. Thank you too to everyone who put the festival together and did the work to make sure it ran smoothly.

Been waiting for spooky season so I can wear these @noho_nails, which I looove. Very excited to sport them at the Las Vegas Book Festival today. I will be selling books and saying hi at a table on the north side near the library.
Hands displaying gold press on nails with Halloween themed illustrations on them. Two thumbs displaying gold press on nails illustrated with an ink sketch style eye on one and a moon on the other. On a blue background, there is a banner with the Las Vegas book festival logo on it. Under that are the words, ”Join me.” And under that are the details for the festival, which are: October 18, 2025. 10 AM to 5 PM. Historic Fifth Street School. 401 S Fourth Street. Downtown.”

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me
