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.

Merry Christmas!
We had a great one, spending time with friends and family, cooking and eating, playing games and watching old and new Christmas movies. I hope everyone is able to spend time renewing their spirits over the holiday. I know it can be a tough season for many, with reminders of loss—I see you, too.
I didn’t have any takers on reading the first third of my next book. I get it--busy time of year, first draft of the first third of a book means it is likely to change a lot, and there's lots of completed books begging to be read. Still, I'll spend the rest of my holiday straightening out what I have so far, and then move on the the next leg of Elliah's adventure. Felian Swamps, Lapids, Salts, Warders... she has a lot to do! If anyone changes their mind about reading let me know--it should be ready to go in about a week. Ideally, I would enjoy having someone who has read the first series, for the context to Elliah, but it might also be fun to get feedback from someone who doesn't know the characters yet.
On a trip to San Antonio to visit in-laws, we stopped at a Barnes and Noble that makes special efforts for local authors. I sent them some info, and we will see how that pans out. No updates on the new cover for Book 2, though it did get my mind spinning about art for the new series.
Late addition: I was messing around with photos I took of the Thomas Dambo exhibit we chanced upon when we traveled to Maine this summer, converting them to create pics of my trolls and the Mother of Trees.
I'm keeping the updates short this week--I have editing to do. ;)
o To-Do list for writing last week:
Email updates- Clean up first part of Mother of Trees - Work In Progress
o To-Do list for writing this week:
- Email updates
- Clean up first part of Mother of Tress. Maybe start the next?

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...
