Morgon Newquist

Historian and Author

“This is not just a book about humans with super powers. It is also about love and loss, people who give of themselves to keep others safe and other people that prey on folks. There are the good and the evil. There are some that are loyal almost to a fault. One thing I can say about this book is that even as much as I read, I could not have guessed what was going to happen next, nor how it would end! If you want a book that will keep you from getting your chores done over the weekend or keep you up for 36 hours straight because you couldn’t put it down, you have found that book!”

Amazon Review for Heroes Fall

Hi, I'm Morgon Newquist.

I'm a historian specializing in 18th century America. My research asks a deceptively simple question: how did people make choices when their options were limited? I study how people, particularly women, in colonial America exercised agency within restrictive systems of law, economy, and culture. My research examines the individual and group strategies people developed to navigate constraint, with particular attention to how women leveraged property and inheritance law for self-determination. I am interested in "community agency": the collective strategies that identity groups facing systematic constraint developed to expand economic and legal room for maneuver across generations. See my CV for my publications.

I am also the author of several fiction books and series. I've written superhero novels, urban fantasy, sword and sorcery, and epic fantasy.

My upcoming series Knights of Washington combines my love of early American history and fantastical novels by imagining an American Revolution that isn't quite what you read about in the history books.
