(And How to Stop Falling For It) Once upon a time, I thought I was sharp. Self-aware. Immune to manipulation. Spoiler: I wasn’t. I was being played like a piano in a haunted house. The scariest part? I didn’t even know it. That’s the thing. When you’re in it, you don’t know how to tell …

Revengeporn: When Your Trauma Gets Views
Let’s talk about revengeporn. Not in the sterile, legal way your HR manual might describe it. In the real, horrifying, I-just-saw-my-own-naked-body-in-a-group-chat kind of way. Revenge porn isn’t about sex. It’s about control, humiliation, and power. It’s a weapon. A very specific, very targeted weapon designed to strip you of privacy, dignity, and any last shred …
The Return of Fox Emerson: Chasing the Creative Beast Again (And the Writing Process)
Well… hello. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? And if I’m being honest, I’ve missed this. The writing, that is. The process. The way it feels to spill all this nonsense into words until something resembling a story emerges. It’s like going back to the gym after a long break. Painful, but oh so satisfying. …
The History of Glory Holes
Where Did Glory Holes Come From? Who Invented Them? What Is the History of Glory Holes? Nobody knows exactly where the world’s first glory hole appeared, but let’s be honest, it probably happened as soon as public toilets did, and for fairly obvious reasons. Let’s look at what we do know and connect the dots. …
Stimulation: The Dance of Minds and Bodies
We toss around the word “stimulation” like it’s just another coin in our pocket. Familiar, maybe comforting, but rarely something we stop to think about. But here’s the thing. Real stimulation is an art form. And it doesn’t start with someone’s hands. It starts long before that, in a place where words do more damage …
Slutty Stories
So, I’m a bit confused. Does Slut suck or should I continue? The feedback from my regular readers, beta’s and editors was good. But in the real world, on Amazon for example, it doesn’t look so good. Slut has a current rating of 3.6 with too many 1, 2 and 3 stars for me to …
An Alien’s Guide to Earth
An Alien’s Guide to Earth Ask yourself this: if alien’s appeared in your home right now and tilted their skinny, grey heads and asked you to tell them about your home world, what would you say? In An Alien’s Guide to Earth, I’m asking YOU what you’d tell them. Would you give them an assessment …
Aradnia
The large pod landed on the barren, dead planet, and a plume of dust scattered as it thudded quietly. The LED readout went from green, to red, then back to green, and then it read, ‘Initiate Ecosystem‘. A large panel lifted, and the sides expanded, then the panel flipped, and spread into four, large sheets, …
Interview With a Dale
The Adam Norty book’s called Slut, but our cover model Dale is anything but. We took him to the English countryside, introduced him to some of the locals, and asked Dale Michalowski some tough questions. Welcome Dale. So, you live in London then? How long have you lived in London? I have only been in …
The Hole in the Door
“Just because we don’t like our history, doesn’t mean we can erase it.”
This blog is about The Hole in the Door, a book about Glory Holes.
Dis Ease of a World at Conflict
Two black girls were stabbed in a park in London, in June 2020, and two Policemen took selfies with the bodies. What happened to the cops, and the imperceptible effort to find the killer, sparked anger in the community. They got out on bail but were suspended from their roles. This alone is not what …
Covid Over in 6 Weeks or Several Decades
I’m too stupid to be ruler of any land, because I have these ridiculous ideas that just won’t get out of my head. They involve either having covid over in 6 weeks or several decades. Imagine if we had an international, independent organisation that could coordinate a pandemic response. We could call them something like, …
10 Things That Would Top off 2020 Like Arsenic Icing
10 Things That Would Top off 2020 Like Arsenic Icing. Like E.T.’s call finally gets answered.
Beta Readers Needed
Hi readers, I’m in need beta readers for a couple of short books. Both are MM/Romance/Erotic short stories. If you have my email, please email me, otherwise you can message me here (under this post) or via the contact form on this website. The books are: Straight Tail – Straight Tail is written from first …
Beta Readers
Beta readers are the unsung heroes of our times. No author should publish a book without them.
To Vaccinate or not to Vaccinate?
That is the question I’m like a pendulum, going back and forth, considering my options. I’ve never been an ‘anti-vaxxer’ though as a curious human, I’ve questioned the plight, and there’s valid fears there (sometimes), though not always. But here we are, in 2021, and we’re being forced into a situation in which the Covid …
Who is Adam Norty?
Adam Norty is…well…he’s quite norty. In a recent post, I told you that I had almost cheated on you, and that I’d almost decided to publish The Hole in the Door under that pen name. I still might, I haven’t fully decided yet. Maybe you can influence my decision. Adam or Fox for a book …
The Truth is a Lie
Ask yourself this; who can you trust right now? Who in your life do you know without a shadow of a doubt, is telling you the truth? Would you know if the truth is a lie? The unfortunate situation that most countries have created for themselves is that the people within them no longer believe …
Covidiots
What is a Covidiot? An Epidemiologist and a Virologist are sitting at their broken computers one day. Epidemiologist, “I think the network cable broke.” Virologist, “No, it was the graphics card overloading. I know because we ran the graphics intensive software right before they both crashed.” IT guy comes along and ignores their commentary as …
My Coronavirus Diary
The email I received on Sunday night from the NHS confirmed what I already knew; I have coronavirus. Unlike the millions who came before me, I don’t have the same symptoms. Is the virus getting weaker? So far, for my husband and I, it’s a lot weaker. But then I suspect we caught a small …
Why You Are A Coward
How to find and address your inner coward Most of us have seen the Matrix and most of us have said that we’d choose the red pill and become the resistance to a machine or to a world that doesn’t reflect our core values. I’m going to help you see your inner coward and address …
Finally the Vaccine
Finally the vaccine has arrived because we are the virus.
Living in Domes
It’s time for change I’m going to tell you a secret. During the three or so years I was writing the newly released The Peace Ambassador, I began to realise that some things didn’t add up. I started thinking about some of the concepts in the book. This led to the viability of living in …
The Lie of an Era
As a child, I was impressed by the height of the pyramids and the mind-bending thoughts on the man hours required for such a construction. In 2020, I’m equally astounded at the even more impressive civilization of lies we’ve built that tower over these great pyramids. The reality is that if you can’t lie, you’ll …
Fuck I Hate Linda
Ellie disliked Linda immensely. Apparently, over Christmas dinner, Ellie made a big deal of her intolerance for a number of staple foods. “This stupid woman never once thought to make sure that her host, ie… me, would know her particular intolerances. Needless to stay, the stupid bitch made awkward comments and ruined my Christmas.” Paul …
Surviving the Apocalypse
Instructions for surviving the Apocalypse – book one Let me introduce you to the apocalypse. Back in 2019, I told you that I thought the Apocalypse was coming. And again here and here. Then there’s the book I wrote called The Peace Ambassador in which I mirrored current life and gave it my SCI-FI ending, …
Coronavirus Conspiracy
The Coronavirus Conspiracy…fact or alarmist fiction? China claims that 2,500 people have died from the virus but there are indicators that this isn’t true. Leaked comments online suggest that crematoriums are working around the clock without a break and that the true number of deaths is being misreported to prevent panic. Annual regular flu Firstly, …
Leaking Snippets
The Peace Ambassador “Dear, dear Andrea. You’ve got such a temper on you. Think that life is about balance; fair and unfair, death and life, Yin and Yang? Just and unjust? Really believe that suffering is for bad people and that the good people should get a break? That rich people don’t deserve to have …
Dystopian Novels
Dystopian books by Fox Emerson, not just a plug on the new book The Peace Ambassador, but also a homage to the genre of dystopia
A New Dystopian Apocalyptic Tale
If you’re reading this, then I am dead. I died while writing my new dystopian apocalyptic tale. For nearly three years, I’ve written, edited, re-written, agonized over, edited, re-wrote, restarted, soul searched and finally, finished the Goddamn book. I’ve collapsed with exhaustion. Now that we’re done with the melodrama, I’m actually not dead. But there’s …
The Apocalypse is Coming
Newsflash: There’s no immediate apocalypse coming today – that I can foretell at least, but stay tuned, every country around the world is trying desperately to bring one in; including England. So, the apocalypse is coming, it’s just a question of when. In the book titled, Mr 303, I chose a virus to devastate humanity. …
An Hour of Your Time Pt 3
Continued from Pt 2… “This is yours, Ollie,” she said, then used her pass to unlock the door on the side panel. An audible click was heard, followed by a whoosh as the doors swiftly opened. I followed her slight figure into the room and was taken aback by the comfortable surroundings and the size …
Shit Week
Dear this week, good riddance. And I mean it from the bottom of my heart when I say, fuck you. Oh, and Three Uk Mobile, you can go to hell. There’s a reason why you’re voted the worst mobile network in the UK. It’s because you’re shit. Thank God I’m with GiffGaff now. Last Thursday, …
Look at me, I’m Ridiculously Tragic
This week, I’ve thought about time travel and inter-dimensional space and time, only because I’ve wanted to put my hand through it, reach into the past, and fucking slap the goddamn shit out of my stupid-ass face. But we can’t go back in time can we? And when we have regrets, we can’t erase our …
Can Bromance be Mistaken for Romance?
He’s hot, right? You really like him and you think he likes you in the same way. I mean, after all, he’s obviously showing you all the signs you want to see and are happy to see. It confirms your suspicion that he’s as into you as you are into him. But can bromance be …
What’s it Like Being Bisexual?
What’s it like being bisexual? Thoughts from some of the oft forgotten minority group. Man, it really sucks for bisexuals. Always being accused of being halfway towards either straight or gay but rarely being accepted as just, well…bisexual. Gay people tend to think bisexuals are just pretending, using it as a way to come halfway …
Coping With Angry Parents
God is deaf, blind, dispassionate and cold-hearted. In fact, I’m going to declare that he has no heart. He or she sits there, on those fluffy clouds watching angels throw broken harp strings at each other, occasionally yawning and picking at grapes being fed by brown-nosers. I know this for a fact because as a …
God’s Waiting Room
God’s waiting room doesn’t just have accessible – but private beaches with turquoise coloured water where you might see the occasional walker, smiling – content within the moment. It also has a nightlife for those in the mood and in the acceptable age-range. It has a largely acceptable drinking culture, if you want a beer …
Shame
Shame “I’m not ashamed of who I am, what I stand for or what I do.” Shame Far too many young men and women and those who fit somewhere in between, experience shame because of social conditioning. It’s too easy to make people feel bad. There’s a horrid video and post about a Syrian refugee …
Scaredy Cat
Every time I try and convince one of my friends that I’m not a Scaredy Cat, they either laugh, smile awkwardly or look at me as though I’m something that they stepped in. Exhibit A – I’ve been plagued by Night Terrors since I was a kid, but still tell myself I’m all grown up; …
What Does Pride Mean?
What Does Pride Mean? What does pride mean? Let’s be honest, we all know that Pride is associated with the LGBTQIAFRSMTUVZ community and that somewhere in the feathery Village People days, they had a point to make and that point was that every minority group who were ostracised, because of their sexual preferences or identity, …
A Song for Adele
A Song for Adele Ever wake up in the middle of the night and have a full song ready to write down even though you’ve never written a song before, have no idea how they’re structured and think lyrics are almost the same as limmericks? No? Oh, must be just me then. Sorry, this is …
Is the Glass Half Full?
Is the Glass Half Full? Is the glass half full? Who cares, this post has nothing to do with glasses being full or otherwise. It’s about the global conspiracy that is your health. Think Big Pharma conspiracy; think doctors and why they prescribe so many different drugs and think why it’s perfectly legal to package …
What Does Abundance Mean
What Does Abundance Mean? I’m not about to get all spiritual on your ass with this ‘What Does Abundance Mean’ bs but…I’ve had some interesting and not so fun moments the past few weeks. These events have forced me to revisit why things happen and why we do the things we do. I’m no expert, …
Why You Shouldn’t Write a Book
Why You Shouldn’t Write a Book Why you shouldn’t write a book is because it won’t sell. Not unless you’re already really famous and one of the Kardashians. In fact, if you’re related to one of them then you’ll sell millions without even needing to publish the book. Put it on presale and bang – …
