Full-time self-published author and sometimes podcaster, I write and publish science fiction and fantasy. I also write about the business of writing and publishing in The View From Here.

Trusted by 650+ fans to find the fun in the funereal, the absurd in the macabre, and delight in the darkness. Join fiction author Morgan Delaney three times a week for genre-bending stories of cozy horror, dark fantasy and a brain with mind of its own...

Clarity+ takes a deep dive into the ethical and moral implications of predictive AI, societal normalization, individuality, and of course.. What it means to be human. A roller coaster of scientifically grounded events leave you constantly on the edge of your seat wondering… what if? Sign up to hear about release dates, early chapters, and behind the scenes notes on the science and ethics that inspired the book.

A little about me: I'm an older guy who grew up reading great science fiction by such masters as Isaac Asimov, Larry Niven, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Heinlein, Clifford Simak, and Robert Heinlein. My favorite current authors are Neal Stephenson and Alastair Reynolds. I started writing a few years ago to try to create a book (and now series) that I think my younger self would have loved to read. Hopefully you will, too! And if you have any comments, I promise to always read your emails to me, and provide a response. I love hearing from my readers!
