Frequently Asked Questions

When’s your next book coming out?

My Primitive Alien Exile, the first book in a new sci-fi series, is set for release on October 17, 2025

I hear the Hired by Aliens series will feature a different couple in each book. Can they be read in any order?

Yep! Kinda. For the most part. More or less.

To be clear as mud. 😅

While each book does feature a different couple (or throuple, or more, depending) and there isn’t exactly an overarching plot line for the series as a whole, the books are linked together. My goal is to make it so you can pick up the book that catches your fancy and go from there, but I will always recommend they be read in order for the best reading experience.

So what’s coming after aliens?

Vampires!

I’ll be releasing a whole Why Choose trilogy in 2026. I’m so in love with the world I might just have to do a second trilogy featuring a different cast of characters. I already have some ideas for that, so we’ll see. ;)

Do you use AI at all?

Nope! All my writing, all my revisions and edits, are done by humans. (So, if there are any mistakes, forgive us! We aren’t perfect, and brains are funny things that have a habit of seeing what they think is there rather than what’s actually there.)

Same with my art. All the logos, book covers, promotional pieces, and other art you see around my site and on my social media were all drawn by yours truly (unless otherwise credited).

Why is all your art signed “jm”?

That would be because Lindsay Fox is a pen name. JM are the initials of my actual name.

Why use a pen name?

Ah ha. This is going to sound mildly ridiculous, but I decided to go with a pen name because my real name has the wrong number of a syllables. There is something immensely satisfying in names with an odd number of syllables, and my real name is, alas, an even number.

Also, it’s stupidly long. Trying to fit it on a cover without making it minuscule or having it take up all the space would be tricky. Since I do all my own cover art, and I’m an inherently lazy creature, I said “Yeah, no thanks” and chose to go with a pen name that I liked the sound of better. 😅
