T.S. Morgan

T.S. Morgan grew up in the family film business, where he learned to break human drama down into scenes, frame by frame. It made him hyperconscious of the little details, like the three-inch hair growing out of the mole on a librarian’s chin, which she has never cared to tweeze and which he has spent his entire adult life trying not to look at.

In Florence he was chased by a pheasant. In Costa Rica he was almost run out of town for reading an E.E. Cummings poem to his sixth-grade English class. Both years became books: Shoes So Wild and Tuanis at 23.

He also writes comic fiction, including Shredding Bells and Bed, Bears & Breakfast, a Goldilocks retelling for adults. His dark side shows up in Somebody Always Lets Them In, a collection of horror and psychological suspense, coming soon. For younger readers, he turned his mother’s 1973 rhyming fairy tale, The Princess Who Couldn’t Stop Eating!, into an illustrated picture book.
