Eira Morgan-Jones is the author of three children’s books, published through the Cornish Book Company. 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. This connection to nature, and particularly woodland, permeates all of her work, whether it be the creatures of Cardinham Woods that fill her children's books, or the solarpunk-tinged fantasy that is her debut novel, The Sentinel of the Sun.
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 classics of science fiction and fantasy by her father, she now writes the contemporary, fantasy stories her teenage self always wanted and couldn’t find. 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.
