Margo Carey

Margo Carey, an award-winning author, weaves tales of romance and supernatural intrigue. She began her career trying to write cozy mysteries, but the paranormal inevitably slipped in. Rather than fight her muse, she gave in to her pen’s inclination, changed her genre to Paranormal Romance, and titled her website, My Haunted Pen.

Her gripping novel Trace of Evil, a NEST finalist, immerses readers in a haunting romance in Salem, Massachusetts. After her move to Rhode Island, she penned The Convent House, the first in her Watcher Clan series that follows the perils and romance of psychically gifted descendants of the Knights Templar. Readers’ Favorite gave it a five-star review. The second book, Demon Amulet, will be out in Spring, 2025. 

Margo now lives with her husband Paul and their unapologetically spoiled cat, Sammy, in South Florida. Will inspiration for her next book spring from the shadowy, gator-infested swamps where she and her husband kayak? Stay tuned.

Praise

Margo Carey's The Convent House was a mysterious, paranormal, familial, and psychic roller coaster. With all the turns and twists, the plot moved quickly, and I was never sure what would happen next. I could not put the book down because the writing was captivating. The characters were well-developed and relatable. the story exceeded my expectations and was expertly written.

– Alma Boucher, Readers' Favorite

Debut author Margo Carey brings detailed research into the legend of the Knights Templar to this paranormal thriller set in historic Newport, Rhode Island. Adding to the suspense are the various members of the Watcher Clan, their quirks, foibles, and 'talents'. This is a fast-moving story of suspense, murder, and the paranormal. We look forward to seeing what will come next from this talented author.

– Kathryn Cottrell

Readers seeking a blend of paranormal fantasy, romance, and the feel of a heart-stopping, action-packed thriller will find Demon Amulet a nice foray into all these elements. Packed with unexpected twists, Demon Amulet is hard to put down.

Sammy, a Benevolent Tyrant Sammy enjoyed my box of new books almost as much

Sammy enjoyed my box of new books almost as much as I did. Of course, he's always got his paws into everything I do. He checks on me from time to time during the day, as evidenced by the paw prints on my desk. And when he decides it's time to eat, I ignore him at my peril. "Just a minute. I'll be right with you," doesn't cut it. Any prolonged delay brings out Sammy the Paw. Pens, pencils, and assorted papers get methodically swiped off the desk.

Inspiration for the Watcher Clan series The haunting mystery surrounding

The haunting mystery surrounding the impressive Newport Tower in Touro Park sparked my imagination. Eight cylindrical columns support an almost circular stone monument that measures approximately 22 feet around and 28 feet high, with seven windows: four halfway up and three smaller at the top. When I worked in Newport and heard the structure’s origin was uncertain, I dug in to do some research. One possibility intrigued me—the Knights Templar.

The tower’s resemblance to many of the churches...
