Phillip Quinn Morris was born in Limestone County, Alabama, in 1954. His father owned a small farm at the edge of town and a grocery store in town. Phillip worked at both while growing up and going to school. As a young adult, he moved to Miami—with a short stint in Ecuador—to pursue the writer’s life. He has worked as a meat-cutter, engine-rebuilder, mussel diver and house painter.
Phillip’s first novel, MUSSELS, was published by Random House. It was followed with the publication of THIRSTY CITY. Both novels are now in print in French translation.
Harry Crews called him “a talent to watch.” The French Rolling Stone gave him a full page article concerning MISTER ALABAMA, the French title for MUSSELS.
He now lives on the west coast of Florida.
