Mab Morris writes fantasy fiction with reluctant heroines, sword--but without the obvious sorcery, paranormal mystery with ghost pets, and romance with enemies to lovers.

While on sabbatical to care for her elder mother, Mab continues to write. There's a growing canon of books that include the current Ihyel world--The beloved Bone Reader is becoming a trilogy--but more. A non Ihyel series is historical fantasy set in the 1800s, England, with a nonbinary main character. There's also the first in a space adventure.

Find her on FB or Instagram under "MabWrites" and DM her if you'd like to be part of her newsletter, where sneak peeks are available.

My own forgotten past.

Apparently there’s been a lot of disassociation. I haven’t had a terribly tough life. My family has been part of history, some eventful parts of history, but minor, but.. why the gaps? Year long gaps? Is it normal, or was there a reason? (less)

“What you came to find. Would it have mattered as much to anyone else?”

“No, it wouldn’t. It means something only to me.…”

“Nothing is ever so silent.”
Mab Morris, The Red Khémèresh

“The land was broken, just as this Book was broken…. Everyone lived… with this brokenness, but did not see it.”
Mab Morris, The Red Khémèresh

“And if you forget that you are human, even during moments of divinity, then you become profane. Would you have someone be guilty of merely being man?”

“The kingdom of God is available to you in the here and the now. But the question is whether you are available to the kingdom. Our practice is to make ourselves ready for the kingdom so that it can manifest in the here and the now. You don't need to die in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. In fact, you have to be truly alive in order to do so.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

“Books may look like nothing more than words on a page, but they are actually an infinitely complex imaginotransference technology that translates odd, inky squiggles into pictures inside your head.”
Jasper Fforde, The Well of Lost Plots

“Description begins in the writer’s imagination, but should finish in the reader’s.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them.”
Immanuel Kant

“There was no one to tell her what to do next.”
Mab Morris, Fate of the Red Queen
