Favorite #tea. I need energy for studying #bookmarketing. I have a good #indieauthorlife!

The image is of a gourd cup with yerba and rose petal tea in it There's a metal straw coming out of it. It is set on a marble counter.

The Words on the top left are: One of my favorite teas: Yerba, with ground rose petals. Yerba for energy. Rose for balance and calm.

Words on the bottom right (and smaller): (You have to grind the rose petals, or they look like slugs in your cup).

I'm still thinking about a post discussing #Tolkien's #LongDefeat. My world doesn't have that, and I'm wondering why. I've long considered each Ihyellian book to be my version of a #Silmarillion. There *is* a Long Defeat I'm writing against. But it's in THIS world. 1/6

The Light Princess is one of my favorites of his stories. It influenced some of my writing--wildly, Fate of the Red Queen.

And we thought this was intense... Then opening we sold out of all those books in two hours! Author Ben Meeks of Sidestreet Bookmarket for Matt Dinniman with the help of authors Silas Rams and Alfred Muller and myself. Dragon Con 2026 was great! There were some CRAZY moments, but well worth it!

"You write fantasy, right?" "Yes." "So there's dragons?" "Not currently, but my copy editor has the book slated that has a Wyvern... except it's not really a Wyvern either. It's science-fantasy. Does that count?"

At this point in time, I don’t know anything about @mabwrites.bsky.social new book coming out but I am fully intrigued by what is up with the glowing blue shoulder cat … what is that story about? It may be a ghost cat which is accurate cause this will haunt me until I learn more about the book.

Woman is peering around stone wall. A Flores sent blue cat is on her shoulder and tail curse around to other side.

In the first Bone Reader book, Lost Bones, it looked as if there was a romance brewing between Cemirowl and Prince Arthan. In Servant's Bones, it is clear King Larthor has other plans! Lost Bones: books2read.com/u/4DBxag Is it #romantacy? It is #fantasymystery

The image is of a shadow of trees along a pathway. There's a bit of oddness about the shadows of the bare trees... they have the half moon shapes of a partial solar eclipse rising up them.

There is text above the image. In The Bone Reader: Lost Bones, there seemed to be a romance brewing between Prince Arthan and Cemirowl...

This is another solar eclipse picture of the tree shadows. It is a bit cooler than the last one, and just of shadow and path.

The text is In Servant's Bones, It is clear that King Larthor has other plans for them both! Servant's Bones Coming soon!

This is the cover of Lost Bones: Book 1 of The Bone Reader.
It gives the url for the book of www.mabmorris.com/the-bone-reader/

The image is of a blue ghost fox puppy coming towards Cemirowl, who has red hair, in a white gown, and holding a fox pup skull. The background is wooded, and slightly spooky.

I treated myself to a really good Mocha, with mushroom superfoods at @blue42market this morning. I needed to review my marketing approach. So a lot to plan and plot. #fantasyfiction #fantasymurdermystery #indieauthorlife #coffeehouse

A black A4 moleskin notebook with Mab Creates written on it. It has a multitude of sticky tabs sticking out. To the right there's a napkin with a plant and herb on it, with a fork and knife. Above the napkin is a mug that is a hedgehog. Two more books are above the notebook, next to the mug.

There's a lit stained glass window with a banner, flowers, and the four members of the band The Beatles. There are also two people standing beside the coffee house counter, talking with each other.

I'd donate, but I'm looking for a job. Being a caregiver leaves you, too often, without resources... and being without a job for years makes people nervous about why you didn't have a "proper" job for 5 years. So please, please donate if you can!

Sometimes you want to watch documentaries about narcissism or Pompey, and other times you want to watch something without any kind of intellectual value. Which is why I'm pairing a charcuterie plate and a claret with Masters of the Universe.

Been "working" on a new Ihyelian story, a saga, this time. The first book is set on the other side of the world from where I've been drawing... so far very few framework scenes are being written, but I've been allowing them to be part of my going to sleep/wake cycle.

I'm deliciously *bored*. I don't want to re-read (though that can go out the door for bedtime for the nonce). I can't seem to want to go do the things I crave to do, and yet it's growing like some weird seed that prefers the coming of autumn rather than the icy blanket of early spring. (1/3)

Working at Blue 42 Market I ran out of red ink. Fortunately Nic had a blue pen (second choice color). Editing going pretty well. #amwriting #amediting Book 3 of a #fantasyseries #fantasymystery #TheBoneReaderSeries

Manuscript in a blue folder, pages curled over to the left. A red pen and a blue pen are on the facing page. There's a hedgehog mug to the upper right, as well as a tray with a fork. To the upper left corner is a cloth backpack with multiple colors. Between the mug and bag is a bouquet of flowers.
