Headline News: Feathered Quill Award

JT Morse is a former singer-actor-dancer turned writer-editor-photographer based in Evergreen, TX. She thrives on making connections via creative collaborations.

I am so proud to announce that an anthology that I have a story in, "Dragons Within: Claiming Her Wings" from Balance of Seven, took 1st place in the 2020 Feathered Quill Book Awards in the category of Short Stories/Anthologies. My story "Drachenpferde" is about a young woman who discovers her horse-dragon heritage while visiting a dying friend in Germany. Also included in this collection are other fantastical tales about women coming into their own, variances of mythical dragon lore, and a balance of joy, sorrow, suspense, and love.

You can snag your copy for Kindle or in paperback via Amazon. For more info about Balance of Seven, visit their Facebook page or their website. Thanks for supporting publishers that represent marginalized communities and creatives with your purchases, reviews, and reading!

The Pen Name and Head Shot Evolution (2016-2020)

Like many authors and artists, I've taken quite the journey in order to find myself in name, image, and voice.

It's been a fun, funny, and sometimes frustrating adventure. And, for better or worse, I'm sure it's not over.

Many Pen Names, Many Head Shots

Since launching my writing career in 2016, I've had multiple pen names and used a variety of head shots. This gallery is the basic recap. :-)

Jody T. Morse

Original pen name and head shot from 2016. Until I found out there was another published writer named Jody Morse.

T. Haven Morse

T. Haven Morse was the pen name I decided to use in order to not compete in Google searches with the other Jody Morse writer. Ultimately, this pen name was too complicated and confusing for my fans, readers, and family.

J.T. Haven

J.T. Haven was a modified version of T. Haven Morse. Less clunky, but kept the Haven (which I loved).

JT Morse

JT Morse is the evolution we've come to today. No periods, basically just my first two initials and my actual last name. Super simple. Only SEO competition is with a battleship - I can handle that. :-)
