Press Kit

J. Morgyn White writes dark, romantic, otherworldly fiction fueled by midnight obsessions and magic-touched mayhem. A lifelong lover of haunted castles, cursed rings, and supernatural entanglements, she brings her background in publishing, pop culture, and paranormal academia to every page she writes.
 

White is the award-winning founder of SCRYE Magazine and former editor of Fork & Bottle, where she specialized in artisan cheese and biodynamic wines—two passions that sometimes sneak into her fiction. She studied vampires in literature and adolescent psychopathy at Hampshire College, which explains a lot about her taste in fictional men.
 

Her stories have earned recognition from the Daphne du Maurier and Olive Woolley Burt Awards, multiple Claymore finals, and in 2023 she was named Best New Writer at Futurescapes. She’s a proud alumna of the NorCal Writers Retreat and a member of WFWA, HWA, ITW, and HNS. When she’s not plotting monsters or rewriting time, she can be found treasure-hunting vintage jewelry, nurturing heirloom vegetables, or testing obscure indie perfumes that smell like witch’s forest walks and forgotten libraries.
 

White lives in Northern California wine country with her game-designing husband, their son, and two mischievous Bengal cats. She’s always hunting dragons—and writing the kind of stories that kiss like curses and bite like fate.
