Keira Morgan—Renaissance Historical Fiction Writer
Originally from Canada, Keira now lives in sunny Mexico with her husband, two cats and two dogs. Her fascination with the Renaissance began early with tales of romance and adventure.
At university, she studied Renaissance history to the doctoral level. When she realized she cared more about the lives, thoughts, feelings, and motivations of the historical people than the statistics, opinions and arguments of historians, she decided she would write fiction rather than history.
Her novels take place in turbulent sixteenth-century France. She tells of powerful women who challenged tradition to play crucial roles in French affairs. Her fiction always begins with the history, and she blogs about the lives of of the people she discovers when researching her fiction. She is collecting their biographies to publish as a book.
She published The Importance of Pawns in 2021. Her second, The Importance of Sons, will release on 24 June 2022. She plans two more novels in the series.
