Morgan Sterling

Morgan Sterling is a Central Florida–based storyteller whose pen knows no bounds. A proud blerd (Black nerd), mom and neurodivergent creative, she writes across genres—including science fiction, fantasy, urban fantasy and steamy romance—because her heart belongs to all things speculative. Morgan’s characters are complex and multifaceted; heroes might wear the mantle of the “bad guy,” and heroines aren’t always quick to embrace their power. She blends authentic romance with imaginative worlds that celebrate imperfection and spotlight people often overlooked.

Morgan’s passions spill off the page: she’s an amateur cosplayer, avid anime and comic‑book enthusiast, lingerie aficionado and devoted sports fan. Inspired by luminaries like Octavia Butler, Dean Koontz and Rebecca Roanhorse, she weaves stories that transport readers to both familiar and fantastical realms. Whether she’s drafting a space‑opera saga or a steamy paranormal romance, Morgan infuses her work with humor, heart and a fierce commitment to representation. When she’s not writing, she’s raising her family, planning her next cosplay, or daydreaming about the future of Black women in genre fiction.

Even my characters have New Year's Resolutions It is that time of year that

It is that time of year that a lot of people are making lists about what they will and won't do this new year.

Guess what? A few of my characters have made some lists. The lists, of course, are a bit unique. Want to see them?

TALLY'S NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS... because apparently this is something humans do...

1. Stop merging with ancient data archives just because someone's having an existential crisis. My code has boundaries.

2. Find better...

Grateful for this year, looking forward to the next  Looking

Looking Ahead

As this year comes to a close, I’ve been thinking less about what I accomplished—and more about how much I’ve grown.

Yes, I released projects and reached milestones. But the biggest changes happened behind the scenes, in the way I think, choose, and move through the world.

I’m at a stage of life where many people are comfortable staying on the path they’ve already built. There’s nothing wrong with that—but it’s not who I am.

I still have...

From Fake Headline to Full Story: The Weird Truth Behind The Yahtzee Club

I love a good headline—especially the kind that makes you pause and say, Wait… what?!


A while back, one floated across my feed that made me blink twice:

“Florida man, 37, arrested for kidnapping 27 people and forcing them to play Yahtzee for 36 hours straight.”

I laughed. I nodded. I didn’t even question it.

Because if you live in Florida, you get it. The phrase “Florida Man” is practically a genre at this point. And if I’m being honest, the headline didn’...
