Growing up during the era of The Lion King or the Warrior Cats books, it makes perfect sense that indie author Morgana Sandpiper has build her shifter universe around big cats. I too was a child of the early 90’s/2000’s, where animal-themed cartoons were big in my life. The excitement and drama of these cartoons definitely inspired a deep appreciation for animal stories (also, anyone remember Kimba the White Lion?)
In this conversation, Morgana speaks about always being captivated by the stories shared by her father in childhood, particularly stories surrounding her roots and Black American history. In Soulmateless, the protagonists struggle as a couple, navigating a world that wants to keep them apart. Morgana describes this theme to be akin to navigating the obstacles that occur with interracial dating and relationships, particularly ones from her family history.
Soulmateless is Morgana Sandpiper’s debut novel. It is set to be a part of a trilogy, with book two scheduled for release in the later half of 2026.
Enjoy the episode!
