About this author

edit data

Morgen Bailey (“Morgen with an E”) is a prolific blogger and freelance author of numerous short stories, novels, articles, has dabbled with poetry but admits that she doesn’t “get it”.

Host of the fortnightly Bailey’s Writing Tips audio podcast, she also belongs to three in-person writing groups (based in Northamptonshire, England) and is Chair of another which runs the annual HE Bates Short Story Competition.

Somewhere in between she writes a short story a week for Tuesday Tales and has written a...more

Morgen Bailey rated a book 3 of 5 stars The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon read in April, 2013	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
I listened to this book as a 6-CD audiobook. It is very well-written, and brilliantly narrated by Ben Tibber, but too graphic (bodily functions!) in some places (and I write gritty crime so I'm not squeamish, it's like swearing - less is more) and so...more

I struggled with this one, not because of the book's content (although it didn't grab me) but because of the awful narration - I listened to the audiobook version read by Lindsay Crouse. Lindsay was trying too hard, making it feel like she was (over)...more

This was my first experience of Ngaio Marsh and although I'm more of a fan of contemporary fiction, I love crime stories (just as well because I write them too!). I'm also English so listening to (the audiobook) quaint English added to the experience...more
