Jeff Morgan grew up at the edge of the Appalachian Mountains in eastern Tennessee. He was always interested in the cultural history of the region and collected the stories of his family, neighbors, and community.
Morgan studied at the University of Tennessee and the Samford University School of Pharmacy. He spent thirty-seven years as a pharmacist but always knew that his true passion was writing.
Morgan explored his own genealogy with his first book, The Morgan Family History, before turning his attention to fiction writing. He has written several other works. Samuel is his latest.
