I'm not just building a multicultural planet book by book. I write other things. For people who sign up to my newsletter, they get a sneak peek into my science fiction work. I'll be working on it in 2026. mabmorris.com/newsletter/

An image in space of an asteroid field backlit by a sun, with a geographic sphere illuminating a brilliant blue dot at the leading edge of the field. (It is a hint to what else will come). Title page of the companion picture with the header stating the author name of Mab Morris, and the footer stating The Florence Tug: A story of the Kho'Asteri. The base image is: An image in space of an asteroid field backlit by a sun, with a geographic sphere illuminating a brilliant blue dot at the leading edge of the field.

I'm creating a whole, multi-cultural planet of Ihyel. Each country has characters, adventures, myths, mysteries, and challenges that are good reads. I can't wait to move both south, as well as west.

Red dots are published books and stories.
Green are known stories with framework scenes.
Pink is the first book I ever wrote, on a kaypro, and got lost as technology changed.

My office now feels all swanky. Inherited tapestry & desk, very old gifted rug, a settee I bought years ago (at a discount, because it reeked; I cleaned it)

p.s. My #cats have worshiped the #namelesssaint, which is why she's on a pedestal. The light reflects my beliefs. Thomas Cat *REFUSED* to listen to me (and he usually did), and stared at her for around 10 minutes. I raised her up so I could talk to her as well.

#NamelessSaint with a glass of #Chardonnay at her feet (Mom's favorite wine), with the last way we gave her wine. She was dying, you see, of Cerebral Spinal Fluid Cancer, so she could have ANYTHING she wanted. #rememberingthedead

It is #Samhain

Gollie Mollie dreaming. It's impossible to get up when she's snoring on one's lap.

So there comes a time when I have to start "closing down" my #hydroponic garden. Usually when the lettuce starts bolting it is bitter.

You can cut the #hydroponiclettuce about an inch off the base-- like garden lettuce, and get a lot of lettuce for *months*. I reserve stems for my stock bag.
A bowl with picked lettuce, some that have clearly bolted into a long tall stalk with leaves coming off of it. A pile of bolted lettuce with a three tub hydroponic "tower" on the other side of the counter--the lettuce came from this tower. Image of the hydroponic tower, where lettuce has been cut about one inch from the roots. It looks scraggly, because the tower needs to be renewed. Two bowls. The one at the top has a pile of freshly picked lettuce. The one below has a tomato, cucumber, and garbanzo salad.

Thanks @autismsupsoc.bsky.social for reposting.
Apparently the cover didn't go through on the original. So here it is.

Yesterday, set up the Sidestreet Book Market at #DragonCon2025, learned how popular @mattdinniman.bsky.social is. THE nicest guy too. The boxes to the left are his.
No longer caregiving, seeing zero people, and now this? SO many great writers here. #dragoncon #dragoncon2025 #dragonconatlanta
Tables with black table cloths, boxes of books to the left beyond, then racks with books and bookmarks

Packing for Dragon Con. Wish I could take these murder floofs with me, but oh well. Just the last of my first editions! #dragoncon #dragoncon2025 #dragonconatlanta #authorlife #writingcommunity #booklovers #bookishadventures #fantasy #bookstagram #indieauthor #booksforsale #catsofbluesky

After #caregiving, after #grief I was able to get this repaired. This clock chimes and tells time correctly for the first time in my life.

I'm finally home after a little under five yeas of full time caregiving.
It's a deck with three different bar chairs. On the left, one is purple, the next blue, but without a back, the third orange, at it's feet is a painted cat, orange, and smiling. There are two wrought iron chairs as well, by a table, to the right. I repainted the chairs, which had been stored where they might have rotted. The cat shows it's damage as well. Its teeth aren't white.

Thomas says, "I scratched the board, instead of the carpet. Can I have my treat?"

(He will, in fact, scratch a few times, look at me like that. If I don't respond right away, he'll do it again. Treat in this case is catnip.).

I needed some #happycat antics this week. 1/2

I'll start my first post with something I'm proud of: My first illustrated short story is ready! My team will be making this process steady. There are at least 9 more, different genres. They'll start rolling out as e-books in 2025. This one is #YA, with a #neurodivergent character.
