In 2017, Dixon began self-publishing the Icehome series, a spin-off of the Ice Planet Barbarians series. It is set on a tropical island on the planet of Not-Hoth and follows more characters from the original series. The first novel in the series is Lauren's Barbarian. The Icehome series was completed in 2022 and is recommended to be read intertwined with the original series. In 2023, Dixon began self-publishing another spin-off series called Ice Planet Clones, which takes place after the continuity of Ice Planet Barbarians and Icehome. The series began with R’jaal’s Resonance. Reception 

Kirkus Reviews gave Ice Planet Barbarians a starred review, calling it "The perfect blend of sweet, sexy romance and a riveting, high-stakes survival story," with "Explorations of coercion, consent, and free will," and noted that the series has a dedicated fan podcast. Barbarian Lover also received a starred review. Publishers' Weekly said of the series, "Anyone expecting a few laughs at a potentially silly premise will instead find themselves deeply invested in the characters and eager to come back for more." A review of Ice Planet Barbarians in Library Journal said that Dixon had "created a fully realized world, blending science fiction, fantasy, and romance that’s on the steamier side," while also noting that "a controversial rape scene" was edited out of the novel before its publication by Berkley Books.
