Having taught in the LA public schools for thirty years, Morgan now

writes about the people and places he has come to know in the

course of his career. During the pandemic, he began writing Gone

To Ground. At the same time, Los Angeles was going through a

series of scandals involving public officials as well as an uptick in

the perennial "crises" of homelessness, immigration, and

gentrification. Add to this the on-again-off-again California bullet

train, and you have the main threads of this novel.

Morgan lives in Los Angeles with his wife where he's trying to learn

his mother-in- law's recipe for dhaar dhokli.
