Alex Morgan was born and raised in western Oklahoma where he attended college and majored in chemistry and mathematics. Later, he moved to the Dallas area where he obtained his master’s degree and then a doctorate in analytical chemistry. He now lives in Baltimore.
He is an avid reader, particularly mysteries, since being introduced to the Hardy Boys in grade school. After reading his first Agatha Christie novel, Murder on the Orient Express, in junior high, mysteries have been one of his biggest enjoyments. He has always enjoyed reading comic books and loves the super-hero genre just as much.
Combining these two concepts, he has written two mystery novels prior to “Breathless”, in which he introduced gay, paranormal sleuth Corey Shaw. He is also the author of several gay erotica short stories published by loveyoudivine Alterotica.

Reviews

[Danny Tyran]

It is a very short story (only 16 pages). It is a mixture of thriller and gay love story. But they are 16 pages filled with emotion. Warning: Very sad ending here.

I find Alex Morgan's writing, if not perfect, to the point and without faults in this short story as in his other works. I thus give this short story 4 ½ stars.

Alex Morgan is one of my favorite emerging authors; his writing is erotic, sexy, tough; in-your-face-take-no-prisoners. I love his style and his characters. No exeption with Hit Man. A short that will leave you stinging and begging for more. A gem of a story!

[Carole]

This is a cross between gay erotica and horror ... short, sexy, shivery scary. Not for the faint of heart.
