Love and Joy has been out in the world for 2 years.

Locals can now find it at the XOXO Book Boutique. It’s a bookstore specializing in romance, and it’s adorable. Go check it out. (And get yourself a copy of Love and Joy.) Or find it here:

11 year old and I made these chocolate chip cookies from this Stardew Valley cookbook. Ours did not turn out as aesthetically-shaped as the ones pictured in the book, but they sure tasted good.
Picture of over-large chocolate chip cookies laid out on a cooling rack. Behind them is an open recipe book in a clear plastic book holder. The book shows a picture of beautifully-domed chocolate chip cookies in an appropriate size.

Front cover a book. The cover is bordered by illustrated white and red flowers. The title information is over a white background. It says, “Write with Jane Austen. Masterclasses with the Master Story Teller.” Below that, it gives the authors name, which is Katherine Cowley.

I am now someone who wears glasses. At least when I’m working at the computer or otherwise “up close.” These are supposed to relieve eye strain and reduce neck tension and migraines. Here’s hoping it works!

Throwback to Halloween last year:

After falling victim yet another time to the “I’ll just check my socials for a minute” trap, these words started going through my head. So, to entertain myself, I turned the words into whatever this is.

Happy Halloween!

Here’s a little Halloween haunting. This animation practice didn’t turn out exactly how I wanted, but hey, I’m not going for perfection. This is from my book LESSER DEMONS, which is not about literal demons, but might spook you nonetheless.

My daughter and I did some Hello Kitty nail stamping for Halloween. I didn’t get good pictures of it, but here are some sort of grainy/blurry ones.
Two hands with nails painted in shimmery orange and stamped with Halloween-themed Hello Kitty illustrations in sparkly black. Kid fingers, painted in shimmery orange and stamped with Halloween-themed Hello Kitty illustrations in black. Two kid thumbs painted in shimmery orange and stamped with Halloween-themed Hello Kitty illustrations in black.

Really enjoyed the Las Vegas Book Festival. Big thanks to everyone who stopped by my table, chatted, showed interest in my books, and even took some home with you. Thank you too to everyone who put the festival together and did the work to make sure it ran smoothly.

Been waiting for spooky season so I can wear these @noho_nails, which I looove. Very excited to sport them at the Las Vegas Book Festival today. I will be selling books and saying hi at a table on the north side near the library.

On a blue background, there is a banner with the Las Vegas book festival logo on it. Under that are the words, ”Join me.” And under that are the details for the festival, which are: October 18, 2025. 10 AM to 5 PM. Historic Fifth Street School. 401 S Fourth Street. Downtown.”

A picture of Rose Card-Faux, a blue-eyed woman with pink and purple hair, over an illustration in brown tones depicting a woman and a knight riding a white horse. Words over the picture say, "Knight your genius at LTUE 43 with presenter Rose Card-Faux (she/her). LTUE 43, February 13-15, 2025 at the Provo Marriott Hotel and Convention Center. Registration and info at LTUE.net" On a light blue background with giant, brightly colored letters L, T, U, and E. There's an image of the words, "Life the Universe & Everything" overlaid against an image of space. Below that, words say, "Feb 13-15, 2025. Provo, Utah, Marriott Hotel." To the side, words say, "LTUE is a three-day academic symposium on all aspects of science fiction and fantasy. Comprised of panels, presentations and papers on writiern, art, literature, film, gaming and other facets of speculative fiction, LTUE is a place to learn all about life, the universe, and everything else you love." At the bottom, is a list of events: "Feb 13, 2pm: Death and Dying Rituals. Feb 13, 3pm: There Is No Try--Only Do, or Do Not. Feb 14, 10am: Weaving Powerful Subtext into Your Stories.

I've been using scenes from my books to practice my artistic skills. Here's a moment from Lesser Demons, a story about an unlikely hero who fights to bring down a man-child wannabe tyrant. This is at a point where her understanding of the world and herself is changing irretrievably.

Color refreshed. And look at that! Some purple in the bangs now too.

Getting my hair redone. Ran to the bathroom mid-bleach, & was not prepared for how glorious my hair looks tumbling off to the side like this. I have transformed into an 80s pop punk Barbie. I’m almost tempted not to chop it all back to my regular bob length.

(I still will because I like that too.)

In the mood for a winter romance that has the same feeling as curling up by the fire with a hot chocolate & cozy quilt? Too busy with holiday plans to read a full book? Lucky you, Love & Joy is available on Kindle Unlimited.

If you're looking for a sweet, quiet love story to boost your holiday spirit, may I suggest Love & Joy Come to You. If you can't get it shipped before Christmas, you can always find it on Kindle Unlimited.

Find it here: 1link.st/rosecardfaux

Art by Passant Ablal.
Over a background illustration of a snow-covered city street with warm light pouring out of windows, a quote from the novella Love & Joy Come to You reads, "When they stepped out onto the sidewalk, neither of them seemed to want to leave. They lingered by the entrance, leaning silently against the wall and watching everyone else coming out. The knuckles of their hands brushed softly against each other once before Noah tangled his fingers with Cora’s. Her breath caught at his touch, but then she slid her hand fully into his." Below that, smaller text says, "www.rosecardfaux.com." Then, "Art by Passant Ablal." The cover of Love & Joy Come to You over a muted blue background with a pattern of golden fireworks. The cover shows a man and a woman walking together down a snow-covered city street. Below that are the words, "www.rosecardfaux.com." Then, "Cover art by Passant Ablal."

Lesser Demons is about a girl who gets thrown into a hidden, magical world where the stakes are higher than anything she could imagine & no one is who they seem. If you liked Legendborn & Merciful Crow, you might like Lesser Demons.

This is my character-driven sci-fantasy with a strong female lead, unique narrative voice, large cast, and slow-burn romance.

The process of writing this book is what taught me how to be a writer.
