Brief Author Bio:

My name’s Morgue (well, that’s what I go by, at any rate), and you can find me under any variety of names and websites. I’m 24, love writing, love language, love music and movies and reading. I work in the computer labs at our local university as tech support. I’ve been writing for as long as I’ve had the opportunity. I’m usually a poet and I can’t stand deadlines. I’m a perfectionist, so I go through and edit and correct typos while I’m writing, even though I know it’s better to just get it out there. Sue me. That being said, I don’t particularly care for capital letters (Word capitalizes for me), and I write in incomplete sentences most of the time because I’m that much of a loser.

In the area of quirky facts to know, I’m half English (my dad moved to the States when he married my mom). I crochet, but can’t knit to save my life. I took 10 years of French and can remember enough to tell you the gist of something written, but absolutely nothing spoken. I bid for things on eBay, but don’t particularly care if I win them. I read basically 1 romance novel a day for 7/8 of my freshman year of high school (that’s 350+ pages in 4 hours, 5 days a week, for maybe 6 or 7 months). I’m geeky enough to work on your computer, but I’m the most normal at my job.

Synopsis: This Mortal Coil

(genre party: western, historical fiction, supernatural, fantasy, romance, adventure, suspense)

An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi yaaaaay
Ghost Riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire
As they ride on hear their cry

As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across these endless skies
