Fox is also involved in co-promotion of the European and Japanese market release of The STEELER Anthology with former band mate Ron Keel. A discussion of a possible STEELER reunion performance has been left open-ended so far. Although he has not left the music field entirely, in recent years, Fox has taken a new interest in learning the field of natural horsemanship through his wife Tarrah, (married on October 1, 2009 in a small private ceremony), and they train their (rescued) horses, while he continues to work on his pursuit of raising Polish historical awareness and culture and military history with their winged hussar group. Fox still dabbles in music. Through Shrapnel Records producer Mike Varney, Fox has recently re-connected with fellow Steeler band-mate and drummer Mark Edwards. Renewed interest is being shown to Steeler, by renown DJ SHADOW who expressed interest in using some of Steeler's music for a new project, which will possibly revive an interest in Steeler once again for the next 'Metal Generation' to come as well as previous fans who still listen to their classic album. There is an interesting after-note, that the Steeler album is the first and only independently released Hard Rock/Heavy Metal album to continue to sell, since its release in 1983, and possibly, has gone well-past the point of being certified as Gold status for such a release of its kind. As mentioned, Rik Fox was featured in the 2011 book release 'W.A.S.P.; A Sting in the Tale' by author Darren P. Upton. Fox is also slated to be featured in two more book releases in 2012; the first by KISS author Ken Sharp for the highly anticipated 'Nothing to Lose' regarding the band KISS in their formative years, of which Fox was an active part. The book is scheduled to feature various historical anecdotes and exclusive early live photos contributed by Fox. The next book which will feature Fox, is by NPR personality Charlie Schroeder, titled 'Man of War', regarding Schroeder's Walter Mitty-like experiences of participating with various re-enactments of warriors of military history to see and experience what it was like to be those historical warriors. Among the many historical impressions in the book, Schroeder spent a day with Fox's Polish Winged Hussar living history group fully suited up in the winged armor. In the meantime,In addition to reforming another rock band of his own, public demand has motivated Fox to pen his own biography, which promises to be an eye-opening and shattering, as well as entertaining, tome of his life's experiences.
