Happy 2026 everyone! I hope you had a great year and a relaxing vacation. I loved having my oldest back from college for the holiday. My Facebook business account was hacked on December 10th and still hasn’t been recovered. Dealing with Facebook’s responses was exhausting and derailed my focus completely. As a result, I barely wrote at all in December. Consider it a lost month for the next book. My account is still lost, but I’m distancing myself from it, beginning to let it go as unrecoverable, though I still hope Meta will see reason. Hopefully I’ll have a better writing update for you next month. All books by Steven J. Morris Indie Author ShowcaseNothing to see here this newsletter. Move along. 😉 Previous Newsletters

The last two...
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving—with family, friends, or a bit of quiet time if that’s what you needed. My heart’s with those who find this season hard, missing faces no longer at their table. We hadn’t planned to host this year, but plans changed (as they do). I ended up smoking a turkey, starting at 4 a.m. It turned out great—despite some new smoker equipment that didn’t want to cooperate. A few changes to the newsletter: I’ve removed the opt-outs for family updates and the Indie...
My youngest landed her layout with a twist this week—that was quite cool to see. She hit it on her first attempt. Just had to overcome the fear of it. Prolly a life lesson there somewhere. I do have a video, if anyone wants to see it. They asked her to move up to the elite level after class--for those few of you in Austin, that's Westlake elite, so moving pretty high up the ladder. Speaking of ladders... here was my fun for the week: a hole in the roof that probably happened last winter…...
