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.

I hope everyone had a great Easter! Ever since we married, my wife and I have spent most of our Easters at my father-in-law’s ranch. This was the coldest one we’ve had in a while, and one of the smallest gatherings as well, but I liked that better—spending time with mostly immediate family. And the horses of course. The bbq’ing, as always, tasted fantastic.
We had a lot of impromptu games with the kids (and younger adults). Take a look at the setup for grilling!
Last week, I mentioned some news I’d like help with. I’m running a kindle freebie on Book 1 from April 14-16, and I’d love for others to spread the word. My birthday is April 13th, but, ironically, there’s one day each quarter when you can’t run a kindle freebie, and danged if it isn’t my birthday.
I’ll run a post like the below on FB/IG on my birthday. I have to post it on the 13th in order to boost the post for the 14th-16th, because sometimes it takes up to a day for a boost to "take". Helping me get the word out once you see the ad would be greatly appreciated.
And maybe I’ll give Bookbub one more try with this one:
I have, so far, always messed up the release of ads for freebies. Since I cannot schedule this freebie until the 13th (because that starts the new quarter), there’s a chance this one will go wrong as well. Maybe I’ll send an extra note, just this once, on the 13th, to let you know the freebie got set up.
My podcast debut on fictions fans comes out on the 12th. I’ll post a link for it next week (or instructions or something… I doubt I can link to a podcast). Oh, I just looked - I don't see any way to link to my podcast directly except through a chosen platform, like Apple podcasts, for instance. They have some slick-looking wix interface (I think wix) on their web site, but I doubt mine will support that.
o To-Do list for writing last week:
Email updates- Keep editing Mother of Trees - yup, some small but continued progress
- Write ahead - Finish the scene prior to Troll's Teeth, then jump back to the Troll's Teeth story - I've thought that segment of the story through some, and it won't be quick to write. I'll be working on it for a few weeks. Nope... I broke through the problem with the intro, but the adventure is not flowing from the pen (so to speak). Only the seed of the story is there at this point.

I promise I’ve made progress on Father of Stones (FoS). Here's a screenshot to prove it: click the photo to get to the live data showing progress But... I have put a little time elsewhere. I want to invite you to try this web-game I’ve been building out. It was meant to be a role-playing game around Thaumatropic Fractures, but ended up being focused on Thaumatropic Roots. https://tfrpg.sjmorriswrites.com https://tfrpg.sjmorriswrites.com The game will ask you to use your email to associate...
I built a tracking page for Father of Stones (FoS) this week. I did not, notably, write very much of said book this week. There's a joke in there about creative avoidance and I'm not going to pretend I don't see it. Anyway — here's what I made instead. Word Count Over Time A live chart of Father of Stones' progress since late June. I'm not smoothing over the slow weeks. There's a very flat stretch from June 'til August where I worked on the Eigenthrope story, then another flat stretch through...
Yesterday I needed to remember exactly how a character destroyed a dragon artifact three books ago. I didn't dig through my own novels to find it—I asked an AI I built to search them for me. It's called the Grimoire: a mini-AI system I put together with Pinecone that I can ask questions about my own books—hair color in a different epoch, a side character I want to bring back, a detail I'd otherwise lose momentum digging for. It keeps me writing instead of hunting. That's the quiet way AI has...
