Morgan Shamy

Morgan Shamy is a former ballerina turned YA dark fantasy author. A classically trained dancer and accomplished pianist, she has performed on world-class stages—including Carnegie Hall—and devoted nearly two decades to teaching ballet and piano, guiding students to scholarships at elite schools nationwide.

After her three-year-old son was diagnosed with cancer, Morgan turned to writing as both a creative escape and a lifeline, eventually building a successful career as an author.

Her breakout gothic thriller, The Stricken, hit #1 on Amazon in hardcover, remained in Barnes & Noble’s Top 10 Dark Fantasy rankings for over three consecutive months, and was featured as a “Most Anticipated Read.” Her success earned her a coveted cover feature in Publishers Weekly, along with nominations for both the Whitney Award and the Reading the West Book Award.

Her latest novel, Danse Macabre, sold at auction to Entangled Publishing’s Mayhem Books, where it’s already generating early buzz for its eerie blend of dark academia, ballet lore, and supernatural mystery—complete with original music composed exclusively for the story.

Morgan lives in Salt Lake City with her X-Games gold-medalist husband and their four children.
