Morrigan Qua Morrigan
I'm a a writer, teacher, and perpetual student of life! I enjoy embracing novelty through unique ideas, original experiences, and developing a variety of skills. When I am not writing, hanging around with friends and family, or teaching my amazing students, I rock climb, train horses, water ski, or read a good book -- an adventure that's a little easier on the knees.
Inspired by the present that will meld into the future, I write Middle Grade Adventures that have horses, of course. I also write YA speculative fiction. My characters embody the bold and enriching personalities of my nieces and nephews and my students who inspire me to have hope in our future. I am grateful everyday for the actions (small and large) of the many people who pass through my life for a day, a season, or a lifetime. Thank you for kindness, self-reflection, and your ability to consider what can be.
