Morgan Lockhart hails from the Pacific Northwest, where she currently lives with her family, including her partner, two children, and a mischievous cat named Hazel. Growing up in the woods of Washington State, Morgan has always been telling and consuming stories in all shapes and sizes. She roamed her way to California, where she graduated with highest honors from the creative writing department at UC San Diego. Her path forked into video games then, as she put off her final trimester of college to work on her first video game. Currently, she works as a writer and game developer for video games. A Spell for Midwinter’s Heart is her first novel.
