Morgan Rhodes is a bestselling author of young adult high fantasy novels, best known for her Falling Kingdoms series. Born in Canada, Rhodes had always dreamed of being a princess, not in the sense of a luxurious lifestyle, but more of a warrior princess who could wield a sword and protect kingdoms and princes from dragons and wizards. However, since that dream did not come to pass, she decided to become a writer instead, which she considers to be just as exciting and much safer.
Aside from writing, Rhodes has a variety of interests that include photography, travel, and reality television. She is also an avid reader, albeit a picky one, and has a love for coffee, handbags, and Candy Crush. Under the pen name Michelle Rowen, she writes paranormal romance and fantasy novels and has achieved national bestseller status in this genre. Rhodes maintains these two personas for her writing as she believes that her books fall into quite distinct genres and wants to keep them separate. She currently resides in Ontario, Canada, where she continues to work on the next book in the Falling Kingdoms series.
Rhodes' first foray into high fantasy is the Falling Kingdoms series, which became a New York Times bestseller. In June 2015, she released the first book in her Falling Kingdoms companion series, A Book of Spirits and Thieves. Under her other pen name, she has won several awards for her more than two dozen novels. Despite her success, Rhodes remains humble and dedicated to her craft, continuously working hard to provide her readers with captivating stories and intriguing characters. Her passion for writing and her love for fantasy are evident in her work, making her a beloved author in the genre.
