Frequently Asked Questions
When’s your next book coming out?
United by Lightning, the fourth book in the Otherworlds Scion series is set for release on June 27, 2025
I’m aiming to have the fifth, and final, book in the Otherworlds Scion published by the end of July or early August, 2025
What are you going to do after you finish the Otherworlders Scion?
Never fear! I have plans.
If you follow me over on Bluesky, you’ve probably seen me mention my sci-fi romance. The Hired by Aliens series is going to be a collection of standalone novels, set in a shared universe. I think I’m currently up to ten ideas of relationships/weird aliens/chaos characters I’d like to write. So far, three of those have solid plot foundations.
However!
Since this is a series of standalones, my plan is to (hopefully) release them one book a year. They’re going to act as my palette cleanser between bigger series. 😉
Soooo, what’s your next big series then?
I haven’t shared much about this project yet (I need to get through the last two Otherworlds books, and at least the first Hired by Aliens book) but it’s going to be a why choose romance.
With vampires!
Do you use AI at all?
No! 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. 😅
