Hello there! I’m Hux aka Lizzie Huxley-Jones – author, editor and noisy person. Welcome to my booksy bsky, sorry about all the bad jokes. I write joyful stories about queer and disabled people, and I dabble in a bit of non-fiction too. You can find all my books so far in the thread below!
Hux, a white person with ginger bobbed hair, sits on a couch in a green leaf patterned suit, with pale pink flowers, over a cream embroidered shirt with a round collar. They are laughing with their eyes closed behind gold round glasses. Hux sits on a sofa, head turned to camera and smiling. They wear a daisy print jumpsuit and a green cardigan. Behind them is a stack of all their books. Hux, a white person with long brown hair, sits against an ivy covered wall. They wear a black leather jacket over a dress patterned with leaves, orange flowers and white rabbits. Dappled golden sunlight filters over them. The photo was taken by Jamie Drew.

Thrilled to share a clip from our funny new children's audiobook about the Stone Age. I had such fun writing and narrating this with the brilliant archaeologist @brennawalks.bsky.social

In this clip, join Homo Erectus on a scavenging hunt... but they're in for a nasty, LOUD surprise! (Sound on!)

‘escapist’ reality show romance

The photo shows Hux a white person with light auburn hair sitting on a couch in a green lead patterned suit, eyes closed and laughing. Simon & Schuster UK has acquired two new novels by Lizzie Huxley-Jones, who was previously published by Hodder & Stoughton. Deputy publishing director Molly.
Crawford acquired world all-language rights in a two-book deal from Abi Fellows at DHH Literary Agency.
The first of the two novels, Reality Check, is a "funny, escapist" romance between two women who share a kiss behind the scenes of a reality TV show and find themselves choosing between on-screen fame or true love. Reality Check will publish in all formats in April 2026.
Crawford said: "I've long been obsessed with Lizzie's Christmas romances so am absolutely thrilled to be able to welcome them to the S&S list. Reality Check satiates a universal need for realistic romance elevated by unusual circumstance rather than narrative necessity.
Lizzie captures the chaos and charm of reality TV, weaving a love story that delivers kick-your-feet romance alongside punch-in-the-gut relatable detail. It centres and celebrates queer love, living with chronic illness and freeing ourselves from life's filters. It's a novel you can't help but press into the hands of friends and I'm so excited to take it to market." Huxley-Jones is the author of the queer holiday romcoms Make You Mine This Christmas and Under the Mistletoe with You, the young adult summer romance Hits Different co-written with Tasha Ghouri, and the Waterstones Children's Book Prize-shortlisted fantasy series Vivi Conway and the Sword of Legend. Reality Check is their third adult romance novel.
Huxley-Jones said: "Reality Check brings together my deep fascination with reality television, with the concept of persona and masking, through the experiences of two queer women who just cannot seem to escape each other. There's hijinks and fake-dating arrangements and an autistic girl unravelling 'comphet' all within the bounds of a wedding-themed dating show. It's been a book in my heart for years and I'm so glad it will reach readers next year.
"It is such a thrill and honour to bring my romcoms to the incredible team at Simon & Schuster, especially my wonderful editor Molly Crawford. They are not only a team who understand and respect commercial romance fiction, but one that deeply cares for their authors. It's been such a joy to work with them on Reality Check, my most ambitious romcom to date, and to see their enthusiasm at every step. I'm so thankful for my agent Abi Fellows finding my work such an enriching home."

Thank you all for your patience in waiting for a new adult book from me, and I want to take a moment to thank my team at Simon & Schuster UK who have been the most supportive of me alongside the best agent in the world, Abi Fellows.

Expect: reality television, autistic masking, compulsory heterosexuality, public queerness, wedding culture, social media, denial of desires, being a carer, dating while disabled, being hot and fat, queer people in cishet spaces, endometriosis, being horny and horrible, and so much more.

If we’re talking relationship arc tropes, it is, plainly, friends to lovers to enemies to lovers. It’s about to get real toxic lads!

Set on Wedded Bliss, a wedding-themed dating show that promises to find your perfect match, contestants Carys and Dolly realise the baggage they brought in and their attraction to each other might just shuffle up the structure. 😈
