NEW RELEASE
Ghosted
Silas French has spent years chasing the son who wants nothing to do with him. Ellen Gitelman has spent just as long hiding from the truth about her late husband. Both carry ghosts — of regret, of secrets, of love lost. When their paths cross on a Christmas cruise, each must decide whether to keep drifting alone or to risk connection, forgiveness, and maybe even love.
Ghosted is a heartfelt, hopeful novel about second chances, chosen family, and learning to laugh again when life feels too heavy.

A Word From The Author
Stories matter. They help us laugh when life feels too heavy, and remind us that even in the darkest moments, there’s room for hope.
That’s why I write. My novels are about love, loss, friendship, and the families we create for ourselves. They’re about people finding light in unlikely places — sometimes messy, often funny, always human.
I believe books can be companions. The kind that nudge you to keep going, that whisper you’re not alone, that make you smile at just the right moment. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place.
Thanks for stopping by, and for letting my stories be part of your journey.

Every book is its own adventure – a chance to meet new characters, share their laughter, and walk with them through life’s storms. These are stories of resilience, connection, and the joy of finding light in unexpected places.
Nothing makes me happier than hearing how these characters connect with people — here’s a glimpse of what readers have shared.
What readers are saying
I found ‘Husbands’ compelling, humorous when needed to be, serious when called for and all in all, a great story of determination, self belief and the importance of doing the right thing, no matter what it costs you. I have become a fan of Mo Fanning and look forward to seeing what he does next..
Laura Parish
Husbands
The author’s writing has a wonderful flow and there are many, many wisdom nuggets about love, friendship, grief, and bravery in this book. As a reader, I feel like I learned so much about the human condition and how to be wise real, and human. If you love contemporary novels or tragicomedies like ‘After Life’, you will enjoy this book.

Rainbows and Lollipops
Fanning’s prose and dialogue are crisp, brisk, and incisive, and the characterization is strong in this novel that’s ideal for readers who love diverse casts, surprising connections, and healing relationships, with much comic complication.

Ghosted
I really enjoyed this book and found it difficult to put down. I think Alexandra is a character that will stay with me for quite some time. I enjoyed following her journey and meeting the wonderful support network she finds around her. I would recommend this book to fans of Jessica Redland, Lucy Diamond and Milly Johnson.

Upcoming Book
You can polish the truth, but it still stinks. Putting Lipstick on a Pig skewers the lies we tell ourselves to get through the day — the glossy cover stories, the well-rehearsed smiles, the desperate scramble to look successful when life is crumbling. With biting humour and brutal honesty, Mo Fanning delivers a dark comedy about love, lies, and the price of pretending.
