ROH MORGON

musings of a moonlight writer

Welcome to the musings of Roh Morgon, writer of dark fantasy with a bite of paranormal romance. Here you will find reflections on my adventures in writing and publishing, along with features about the books, authors, and pop culture in the urban fantasy realm.

Take a look around and feel free to join the conversation. But be sure to keep an eye out for vampires, shapeshifters, and other creatures of the night – they like to hang out here, too.
