Belated Happy Birthday to me! I'm 55 now, so 'bout time for a mid-life crisis, no? One-hundred and ten! We have a lot of dark clouds hovering around us right now, so it was nice spending time with friends and relaxing a bit this weekend. Friday night, we played pool and listened to an 80s band with good friends. Saturday, my oldest had prom while my wife and I went to a fundraiser for a group that does surgeries for children born with congenital heart conditions. Sunday was relaxing--we took grandma out for my birthday dinner (a nice heart-healthy chicken-fried steak for me, followed up with cake...) I put Secrets of Deara on pre-release at Amazon. To be transparent, I might have to move the date. I haven't finished my edits, nor checked with Marla, my traditional copy editor, to see if she's available. But, I'll start collecting email addresses for the ARC. I think, this time, I will wait until after the copy editor has done her magic to send out the ARCs. Feel free to send the link on to others or post it or whatnot. Signup for Secrets of Deara ARC! All books by Steven J. Morris Indie Author ShowcasePrevious Newsletters

Click here to rejoin family content. Not a lot of updates. Between the family trip to the Keys, and a trip to see a set of grandparents, I didn't get much writing time. That's okay... sometimes I need a break from writing as much as I do from work. I did write one chapter, so not zero progress. I sent what I have to my mother, still my biggest cheerleader... the beginning and end of Secrets. She had questions about how it all connects to Guardian League. Maybe I hadn't said this before, but...
Click here to rejoin family content. Book 4 is well underway now. I took a different approach this time and wrote the first 4 chapters, then the final 5 chapters. The ending has weighed on me for so long that I just had to get it done. So now I just need the silly midling bits and it'll go out the door. :D Frankly, the parts I have written are missing things. Bits that it is hard to tie up in action scenes without distracting. It'll be fun and interesting to work that out. I'm still trying to...
Click here to rejoin family content. Oddly enough, the twice-a-month cadence for newsletters won out over once-a-month, by one vote. So twice a month is borderline. Maybe I'll skip a newsletter once in a while. And more people liked seeing the indie book options than didn't, so I'll keep them, but I set up ways to opt out of both the non-writing updates AND the indie book showcase. So you should be able to click on your choices in an email, set your preferences, and future emails will be...
