About this author

edit data

Cate Morgan hails from a long line of storytellers and musicians, so it came as no surprise to her mother when she taught herself to read from the back of cereal boxes at the ripe age of three. Now she’s fulfilling her family obligations by foisting her own stories on an unsuspecting public, all with the help of gallons of coffee and mountains of M&Ms.

She resides in Florida with her long-suffering, if supportive, husband, gators in the backyard and two resident Ninja Katz underfoot.

OMG YES! Don't look for any but the most minimal historical accuracy here. Instead, look for a great voice, wonderful characters, and a rollicking good time. Honestly, it's Steampunk meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's funny, it's fun, and I CAN'T W...more

“If a writer of prose knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water”
― Ernest Hemingway, Death in the Afternoon
