This is for Sen of the Woods, a #demigoddess There's a lot of #naturalmagic in my Ihyel books. So I am making demigod candles.

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).

This is not #ragebait
A picture of a fallen tree that is covered in moss. You can only tell where the tree is because of the moss. The rest are fallen leaves, and a few smaller understory bushes and sapplings. 

The words on the picture are: I wrote this 10 page carousel screed Against Rage Bait. But I remembered my sister once told me about love....
The picture is of a vista of mountains and a cloudy sky.  From foreground to middle of the picture are mountains covered in trees. 

The words on this are: When you realize you love them, if it's real, if it's true, you don't have to tell that person RIGHT AWAY, speeding to get to them... in case its gone like dandelion fluff. If it's rea, it lasts. 
Picture is of a wall, more mountains, and more sky. The second word is mistyped (proof I'm not AI?) So I'llI'll take my time. And give you pictures of my cats, my garden, the trails I hike, And videos of scenes from my various books, my journals... And maybe art I'm attempting (which might be embarrasing, or fun). What's your anti rage bait fun, joy, happiness?
The picture is of a black plastic pond form with water, a floating solar water fountain, a branch over a rock, and an orange toad sitting on it (it had, by the way, just swum to it, to get out of the water). It isn't a very big toad, but I'm still happy. Just an ordinary, slightly brown toad. 

The words are: Here's a random picture of the first toad in my new pond.

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!

It's the second in the Bone Reader quartet. Ebooks are being published right now in a soft open. In this one Cemirowl, the bone reader, is asked by a ghost WHY he was murdered. I *think* it can stand alone, but the first book is a good read too. There's a ghost fox pup in that.

The second book in the quartet is coming next month! #fantasymystery #fantasyfiction #ghostpets #fortunetelling #indieauthor
The border is a water colored version of small animal bones. There's text. The Bone Reader quartet. The most fun I had while writing The Bone Reader quartet was finding out what ghost pets would help Cemirowl. Lost bones, to the final Blackened Bones. Lost Bones is available now! Servan'ts Bones is coming soon!

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.

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.

COVE RREVEAL. I just have to review the interior (if I can figure out how to access it), and then it's a GO for the proof. #caregiver #caregiverburnout #caregiverrecovery #caregiversupport #poetry #lifepoetry
Picture of a book cover, front and back. The cover has the author's name at the top: Mab Morris. The title in at the bottom: Let Us Pretend Caregiving is Easy: A book of Poems. The picture is of an old woman's hands, the left somewhat curled, the right flat, over her chest. 

The back cover has copy about the book, and about the author. It is long. I'll try to have an audio with all of it when the print book becomes live.

I love world building (building a whole entire planet), so why am I building a universe? Because I can? There are times I hit a snag, and have to gather my thoughts. Like multiple conlang for Hetidina to study, focusing, fortunately, on only three words. But, Yeah. There's a labyrinth to weed.
Picture of a garden in progress, at the center of the garden is a labyrinth that's overgrown.

The past week I've been on the "Chronic High Cortisol S*cks" diet. A YEAR after #caregiving I was still in #hypervigilance. Now I wake, drink my halfcaf and read. I didn't even remember this level, even with #insomnia . #caregiverburnout #poetry #caregiversupport mabmorris.com/lets-pretend...

In a chat with my copy editor from Inkling Books, Heather and I discussed how I used characters. This morning I realized that *I* wasn't connecting with my main character. So I interviewed her. I LOVE her now. Wow, she's snarky! #characterdrivenplots #indieauthor #sciencefantasy #indieauthorlife

Okay, #creaturedesign or #humanoiddesign and #softsciencefiction friends, here are the rolls from Fantasy Genesis. Pic if you want humanoid or creature, the most pic wins. Creature: Major form, minor form, surface, action. Humanoid is the same, but also adds emotion. (1/3) The list is in post 2/3

Working with @orynrusset.arts on Instagram, the first demigod candle is in its test phase! It's probably the most #mythopoeic thing I've ever done...besides writing novels creating mythologies. #SenoftheWoods #prayercandles (if you will...it is for fiction, mind you). #fantasyfiction #indieauthor

Another poem from my poetry book Let's Pretend Caregiving is Easy. #caregiving should be a gift, right? A blessing. Sure. But at times... No. It really isn't. The weight of it is almost impossible. Even before #caregiverburnout. #caregiversupport #dementia, #fallrisk #depression 1/2

Mab Morris @mabwrites.bsky.social · 21/06/2026
I didn't want to be someone who couldn't talk about their #caregiving past without being triggered. It happened to me! Their support denied me. With the caregiving poetry book out now, I wanted to be able to connect with YOU, oh caregiver. The book, and social media: You are not alone! (3/3)
