Dark stories. Simple life.
Goodness still matters.
I’m Morgan. I lead a nice, simple life, and write stories about things that would threaten it.
Here you’ll find low Fantasy Paranormal Mysteries with:
• Vampires and supernatural creatures • Unsettling murders • Evil confronted • Conflicted characters • Vigilante justice • Post-traumatic growth • Small towns •
I enjoy dropping supernatural creatures into (seemingly) real-world settings to lurk and live among humans, as well as exploring human mistakes, their consequences, and how they deal with it.
They are mysteries rooted in a small-town atmosphere, often surrounded by landscapes hiding danger, but still with goodness to be found.
If that appeals, welcome!
My bio
Morgan Cox, as M. N. Cox, writes mysteries peppered with supernatural events and creatures, and approaches dark narrative elements with a light touch. Armed with an eccentric personality and a Psychological Science degree — that she’ll probably never use elsewhere — she writes flawed and quirky female protagonists in the first person point of view.
Shortlisted in Queensland Writers Centre’s 15th Publishable program for her novel, The Red Line, Morgan was born, bred and proudly sets her novels in Queensland, Australia. Fluffy oddballs keep her company as she plots, writes and reads, powered by endless cups of tea.
In The Strange Brew you’ll find small-town warmth and gossip, with a traumatised main character trying to move on despite the unwanted affliction of being able to see and hear ghosts. A story about the demons we fight, the ghosts we receive, and the struggle for self-empowerment.
In The Red Line, you’ll find a conflicted vampire detective with themes of justice and monsters versus good. Set in the 1990s, this tropical noir has a gritty vigilante thread, and a minor slow-burn romance (that may or may not work out).
