She is an enthusiastic lover of The Little Mermaid, as is evident in her vivid red hair, mermaid tattoos, and ever-growing Ariel collection. Morgan also holds a deep affection for pirates, especially those who “wear fine things well,” though those in possession of jars of dirt will always hold a place in her heart. She lives in Alabama with her dog, Scarlett, and she looks forward to adopting more puppies in the future. Her current passions include higher education, animal rights, and watching the 1995 Pride & Prejudice at least once a month. In addition to her current literary loves, Morgan is a fan of mermaids, vampires, pirates, and superheroes, and she hopes to incorporate this into future works. ABOUT KATE JENKINS Kate D. Jenkins enjoys writing fantasy, Sci-fi and romance as much as she enjoys reading them. She lives in a small town in Idaho with her autistic teen who is her whole world, her parents, and between them, four dogs and eight cats. When not hanging with her son, she loves gaming, especially first person shooters and asymmetrical horror games she can play with friends. She’s a K-pop enthusiast and harbors a secret love of K-dramas and Anime, much to her mother’s displeasure as she’s slowly being sucked into them with her. Her favorite tropes are currently enemies to lovers, there was only one bed, coffee shops, time travel fixes it, and soul mates/soul identifying marks. She is hopeful one day she can talk her co author into writing these with her. ***************************************************************** Available from 4 Horsemen Publications https://4horsemenpublications.com/our-authors/morgan-a-moreau/ https://4horsemenpublications.com/our-authors/katie-jenkins/ Order Morgan and Kate's books today for 10% off!

    ABOUT ERIK DECKERS

    Erik Deckers is a humor writer who comes to Florida by way of Indiana, “where the real people live.” He grew up wanting to write humor and satire after reading Catch-22, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and Breakfast of Champions. After reading those, his biggest goal was to “speak truth to power and swear in books.” He figured he was a natural because he was already a smart ass and knew how to spell.

    Erik loves writing humor because he feels dramatic and literary writing is sad as hell, and he refuses to entertain himself with sadness because there’s already enough sadness in life. He has won several editorial awards from the Hoosier State Press Association for his newspaper humor columns. Erik is also a professional ghostwriter, and has co-authored several books on social media marketing, including Branding Yourself, No Bullshit Social Media, and The Owned Media Doctrine. And he is the president of the Kerouac Project of Orlando, and helps run the Writers Of Central Florida Or Thereabouts. When he’s not writing, he enjoys woodworking and visiting used bookstores and independent coffee shops.

    You can find Erik at ErikDeckers.com, on Twitter at @edeckers, and on Instagram at @erikdeckers.
