Morgan Greene is a UK native who has cultivated a strong connection with Scandinavia, which serves as the inspiration for his Jamie Johansson crime series. Greene's love for gritty Scandi-noir is evident in his writing, as he combines dark and unforgiving Scandinavian settings and crimes with deep characterization, tightly wound narratives, and sweeping, intense scenes. His goal is to produce crime thrillers that will captivate readers and keep them on the edge of their seats.
Greene grew up in Wales and studied Creative Writing and English Literature at Swansea University. During his time at university, he developed a keen interest in narrative structure and theory, which has greatly influenced his writing style. In 2020, Greene published the first novel in the Jamie Johansson series, which quickly became a bestseller and established Detective Jamie Johansson as a reader favorite. The series combines classic Scandi-noir elements with modern and cinematic thriller writing, creating a unique style that adds to the emerging Brit-noir genre.
In addition to the Jamie Johansson series, Greene has worked as an author across multiple genres, including science fiction and dystopia. He is currently working on several other projects, spanning crime, thriller, and mystery genres. Greene's signature white-knuckled over-the-shoulder style sets his books apart, providing a unique and thrilling experience for readers that keeps them engaged and eager for more. He currently resides in British Columbia, Canada, with his partner and their neurotic collie, who served as the inspiration for a canine character in his books.
