If you read fantasy for the magic, the world-building, and the occasional moment of dark humor—I write that. One urban fantasy series, one epic fantasy series, both set in the Fractured Arcana universe, with more coming. My newsletter takes you deeper into the worlds, the characters, and what's next.
Elliah was never meant to carry this.

Elliah was never meant to carry this. She was born without magic in a world built on it. And yet here we are. If you came to my work through The Guardian League, this is where the deeper current begins—the prison that holds the Father of Stones, the fracture in magic that echoes forward into Red’s world. The modern story stands on what happens here—even if it doesn’t know it yet. And Elliah’s world was not built for someone like her to survive. Shepherds of Truth is not just about gods and cages and war. Some endings are loud. This one is earned. Preorder here: Three weeks. — Steve May you get lost this week in another world.

I've been having a lot of fun creating things lately. Not just books. Shoe shelves for my wife. Reels. Sometimes even novels. 🙃 I finally figured out how to tell a story in under thirty seconds. If you're curious what I've been experimenting with outside the books, here's my latest attempt: sjmorriswrites Every second she fights, another elf dies — and she can feel each one go dark. This is the cruelest trap in all of urban fantasy. Book 1 free on Amazon Prime for a limited time — link in...
We're a month past the release of Shepherds of Truth, the final book in the Thaumatropic Roots series, and this feels like a good time to share some of the deeper lore that exists beneath the surface of the story. The kind of lore the characters themselves rarely understand completely. If you haven't read the series yet, consider this your spoiler warning. *************** [ HERE BE SPOILERS ] *************** Long before the Breaking, before the elves fractured into isolated peoples and...
