Mo Fanning

If you love books by Jane Fallon, Marian Keyes, Beth O'Leary and Taylor Jenkins Reid, chances are you'll like mine. I write stories with damaged lead characters who find ways to overcome their past mistakes and seek a happier future. Mo Fanning grew up near Birmingham in the UK but left for pastures new as soon as he could legally drive, spending much of his grown-up life in the Netherlands, before returning home just before lockdown took hold. He has contributed to 100 Stories for Haiti and written for the Observer travel section. His first novel ‘The Armchair Bride’ was nominated for Arts Council Book of the Year, and his work was turned into a short play for BBC America. After having lived in Manchester, Amsterdam, Lyon and Brighton, he’s back in the West Midlands determined to get on top of his geraniums. mofanning.co.uk for Mo's blog, newsletter and all kinds of other nonsense.
