about.
D.R. Morris’s storytelling is a nod to time spent as a newspaper reporter in small towns throughout the Deep South.
Now a writer of Southern fiction with a political and social bent, Morris has a debut story, Quittin’ Time, a satirical look at what happens when one person throws a monkey wrench into America's status quo machinery.
Writing is underway on a new novel, Furies: A Southern Tale.
Morris lives in Durham, North Carolina with Darryl, the cat,
who is an inconsistent editor at best.
