About Morgan

Morgan was born in New York City (as reported in many places). Her mother and father were Irish, this allowed Morgan to have dual citizenship. If you listen closely you might catch the story of where Morgan was really born. In the United States or in Ireland or on the ship sailing to America, just another mystery that is part of Morgan.  

Morgan  loved  horses from a very young age and you certainly get that feeling from reading her book "STAR DANCER". When she moved to Texas in her teens, she was in the right place for a horse lover. She developed her skill with horses to such a degree, that by the age of sixteen  she was showing horses at championship levels throughout the United States. Morgan always has several things going on at the same time, so it is no surprise that she was doing modeling for Neiman-Marcus around the age of  18, and also became a dance instructor for Arthur Murray. A contributory  start in writing must have come from a simple article about training horses,  published in the 70's.  She works hard to achieve what she wants, so she went on to try out for  U.S. Olympic Dressage Team in 1976. By this time she had been a horse trainer and riding instructor for over least 15 years.  Unfortunately (although very fortunate for her readers) for Morgan, she missed the final cut by .05 points or basically she was short listed.  Her mother  would not let Morgan's disappointments occupy too much of her time. Morgan's mother realized the need to keep her involved and got Morgan  interested in researching the Llywelyn  family history. Obviously her mother understood what made her daughter tick, because the rest they say is history. 

Her mother's insistence at researching the Llywelyn line lead Morgan to find the royal connection that she has with the Welsh and as she says:

"... I have a strong strain of Welsh on my mother's side, which does indeed go back to Llywelyn ap Iorwerth. And Llywelyn the Great! (We have the proven genealogy from the College of Heralds.)  She was very proud of her royal Welsh connection. That is why she was so interested in genealogy in the first place, and inspired me to get involved as well ... leading in turn to THE WIND FROM HASTINGS. But both my parents were predominantly Irish - my father totally so - and I spent half the years of my childhood here. So I have always been much more interested in Ireland and its history and legends."

The blend of Morgan's work is unique. She is not one to be cubby holed into any specific genre because she writes in so many different ones.  Try reading all of her works and you will find the magic that is Morgan.  The number of novels she has produced in such a short time frame is incredible, 26 in 20 years, and it keeps growing. Morgan has also written many short stories, they are typically published in collections with other short stories. One of her latest works "THE WORLD IS MADE OF STARDUST" is HER stand alone collection of  favorite short stories.
