Welcome to Moorgate Books
My name is Diane H. Morris and I publish Regency-era historical novels through this website. My first two novels, Rosings Park and Cousin Anne, are based on Jane Austen’s beloved story Pride and Prejudice and follow Miss Anne de Bourgh’s romantic adventures. I have released two books in my trilogy: Ravaging the Dead (Book 1) and Naught but Butchers (Book 2). I plan to release Book 3, No Hallowed Ground, this summer. The trilogy, titled Surgeon’s Duty, explores a rather ignoble time in medicine when body-snatchers dug up newly buried bodies and delivered the cadavers to the hospital surgeons, who used them to study anatomy.
