Eira Morgan-Jones

Eira Morgan-Jones is the author of three children’s books: Tales from Cardinham Woods, A Christmas Tale from Cardinham Woods, and Ella and the Beast. She grew up building dens and skinning her knees in the woods and forests of Hampshire, and is to this day never truly happy unless in sight of trees.

Fed from an early age on a steady diet of Welsh folklore and family legend by her ex-pat mother, and immersed in all the classic science fiction and fantasy by her father, Eira now writes the contemporary stories her teenage self always wanted and couldn’t find. Her debut novel, The Sentinel of the Sun, is led by young women with dirt under their nails, who aren’t afraid to break the rules to get things done. The manuscript reached the final of the 2022 international Page Turner Writing Award.

Eira has a masters degree in Professional Writing from Falmouth University and her other writing accomplishments include ghost writing a regular advice column in the Basingstoke Gazette. She currently lives in Hampshire with her husband, Jeff, and jack russell terriers, Ivy and Merry.
