Monica Cox
Writing Words that Heal
Dr. Monica Cox is an Ohio author who writes grown, passionate, deeply relatable romance featuring brilliant women and complex, swoon-worthy men navigating love, loss, and second chances. Her stories blend sensuality with soul and explore the healing power of intimacy, while her nonfiction draws on over twenty years as a professor and leader to offer honest, intersectional reflections on hope, restoration, and resilience. Rooted in her southeast Alabama upbringing, Monica’s work—both on the page and in the classroom—invites readers to embrace vulnerability, honor their stories, and imagine new ways of loving and living.
Good Mourning Sunshine
Coming November 25!
When Lena Langston buried her lover, she didn’t plan to fall for the grumpy man who prepared his body for burial. That was odd, morbid, and sick, but to Lena, it made perfect sense.
From the second mortician Cassius Tucker met free-spirited Lena Langston, he knew she was off. Everything in him said to run away from her outlandish, raunchy ways, but the side of himself he’d repressed far too long was drawn to her like a moth to a flame.
Nothing associated with grieving was supposed to be sexy, until it was.
