Uk Author Mo Fanning

Hello I'm Mo

I’m Mo Fanning, a British novelist with a weakness for complicated relationships, questionable decisions and people who really ought to know better.

My books wander between romantic comedy and darker territory, often with queer characters at their heart. I like an awkward truth, a badly timed joke and a happy ending that doesn’t come too easily.
