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 · 1d

Absolutely!

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.

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. ❤️

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

Fox @crossedmoss.bsky.social · 19d

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

Just horror romance things.
