About the author

Morgan Bauman

19 books24 followers
Morgan Bauman's novels and short stories typically celebrate interpersonal relationships--family dynamics, friendships, and romance alike. This doesn't mean that every story has a relationship at its core, however. Some stories, like those found in Pendular Motion, have characters who find themselves isolated.

Bauman's work has been called introspective, innovative, and genre-defying. Although most of their stories include a fantastic bent, Bauman ventures to portray the unreal in a realistic manner.

In the interest of depicting stories that are true to their lived experiences, Bauman's works typically include characters of all sexual orientations and gender identities as well as characters with varied mental and physical disabilities. Furthermore, in keeping with their commitment to realistic diversity, Bauman includes characters of many races and ethnicities in their works and makes a sincere effort to include anti-racist themes.
