Hi! If you enjoy fantasy with snarky humor, I've got some books for you. My newsletter takes you along the creative journey, and keeps you informed of what's brewing.
Newsletter Makeover - June 15, 2025
|
Since release of Secrets of Deara, I'm pausing on Shepherds of Truth while I try to get my marketing game in better order. I'm considering restructuring the emails to be once a month instead of every two weeks. Let me know your thoughts. (I know I have a couple of folks who love the family updates, or at least they have in the past.)
As many of you know, my Urban Fantasy and Epic Fantasy stories take place in the same universe. I've finally given that universe a name: the Fractured Arcana. Here's some tag lines I'm toying with. The Fractured Arcana: where gods fall, magic breaks, and worlds collide.
An ancient world of broken gods and unstable magic. A modern world where their echoes still stir. Two series. One universe.
Where magic was born from sacrifice—and broken by it.
I've rewritten my email intro sequence, and I'm retooling my web page to be more succinct, and to reflect the Fractured Arcana branding. I'm betting at least a couple of you will be willing to provide feedback. You can re-sign up here. Unfortunately, I don't know how else to do it than just make it live and ask for feedback, so if it doesn't work, I would love to know quickly. All books by Steven J. Morris Indie Author ShowcaseNone this week. I'm considering cutting this section. Does anyone have positive things to say about the links to other books I send? If there's a mix... if some people love it and some hate it... well, let me set up an opt-out link.

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...
Went with my wife and oldest daughter to college orientation in Arkansas. What a beautiful place! I'm not exactly the most sporty guy in the world (my school didn't offer quidditch), so I never really learned my own school's fight song, and now I have to learn another? But it was fun, and it's great to see my daughter so excited. (I mean, sure, she's excited that she's leaving us, so grain of salt and all that.) Another interesting bit—I’m leave for England the day this is going out. For...
