sorry to everyone I was coy with about this during the Square Waves tour! Book 3 in the Big Fan universe is underway. I would check out Chrismischief on @831storieshq ’s site if you want a sneak peek at our leading man…
BUT HOWS THE S🤫X: Episode 2 with @zanopticon dropping next Wednesday! Here’s a little teaser of our very R-rated conversation 💋‼️
Listen wherever you get your podcasts!
📚 Book: Square Waves by @zanopticon
🍸 Pair it with: A strong martini-because Cassidy orders one right out of the gate, and honestly? Same.
✨You know that feeling when a short book somehow hits you harder than a 500-page saga? Yeah, Square Waves is that kind of read!
📚This novella follows Cassidy (yes, that Cassidy from Big Fan), who’s basically hiding out in her childhood bedroom after a very public crash-and-burn moment in D.C. She’s not trying to start over-just trying to survive. She ends up reconnecting with Leon-her high school rival-and it’s not some dramatic, sweep-you-off-your-feet romance. It’s quieter and more tender than that. No one’s coming to “fix” her. It’s more about slowly rebuilding trust, being truly seen, and figuring out who you are when the world already thinks it knows your whole story.
🤍There’s a softness to it, but also so much tension (in the best way). This is a book about identity, burnout, and rebuilding in the shadow of public failure but still somehow manages to feel cozy and hopeful too.
✨Read this if you love:
• Return-to-your-hometown energy
• Flawed, complex women finding their footing
• Quiet stories with emotional depth
• Big Fan and the @831storieshq universe
• Spicy slow -burn tension
