Dark stories. Goodness earned.

I'm Morgan. I write paranormal mysteries set in Queensland, Australia — stories where vampires live among us, the dead won't stay quiet, and small towns hide real danger beneath the surface.

My books are atmospheric and intense, with flawed protagonists, genuine stakes, and darkness that doesn't pull punches. But I'm not interested in nihilism. My characters survive trauma, confront evil, and sometimes — not always — claw their way toward something like hope.

If you want paranormal fiction with teeth, welcome.

I write paranormal mysteries as M. N. Cox — dark fiction where supernatural creatures lurk in ordinary places and flawed people confront real danger. Armed with an eccentric streak and a Psychological Science degree she'll probably never use elsewhere, she writes from Queensland, Australia, surrounded by tea and fluffy oddballs.

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).
