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 don’t think I ever showed off the final wall with picture frame molding all caulked up and painted. It looks pretty good!
Three walls to go…
All three kids have started school now. My oldest, a sophomore in high school, got in JV basketball, so she’s pretty happy. Her school started a week earlier than her sisters’, who will have had only a day in school by the time this goes out. But they both came home with smiles on their faces after day one (other than being trapped at school for an extra hour and a half because of a flash flood with gobs of lightning). On top of the new schedule mayhem, my wife has gone back to work, helping out at the same school our younger two attend. Lots of anxiety and excitement bubbling around our household these days.
World-building—I have a couple of early map drawings for the AllForest to show. As I’ve said, it was inappropriately named, but anyone who’s read The Guardian League already has an idea of why it bears that moniker.
I could use some help—I’m trying to write a teen angst scene with a couple of young elves, and I need some feedback. Anyone willing to read a pre-alpha chapter to help me home in on the right amount of teen-agy cringe, let me know.

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...
