Rua Morrow, an Irish-American novelist, writes at the convergence of climate science and the human psyche. Her debut novel, Pressure, is an exploration of how environmental collapse mirrors the breakdown of the human mind. In this psychological thriller, Morrow examines trauma, motherhood, and the delicate interplay between the fragility of our planet and our own mental resilience. Reviewers have described Morrow's prose as “vivid and cinematic,” marked by “haunting detail” and an “intensity balanced by restraint.”

In 2025, Pressure was a finalist in the Best Suspense category of the Killer Nashville Claymore Awards, which honor the best unpublished first fifty pages of a manuscript.

Originally from Derry, Northern Ireland, Morrow resides in New York City, where she continues to write stories that delve into our most profound fears and desires.
