John Morris has stories to tell. His novels are absorbing fiction, which are intense and emotional at times, and funny at others. "I study the Human Species," he relates. "I share this by writing a rainbow of human emotions. One minute the evocative words may make one cry, and the next, humour dispels the emotional miasma. Good novels, like real life, are a question of balance, and drawing the reader in."
Morris draws on his eclectic life experiences in his writing. He brings to the reader a range of heartfelt emotions, highs and lows of human life, as mirrored by humanity in general.
"I am sharing my written words with readers, and feedback has been fantastic. I'm hungry to write more, and share with others life's experiences. My books have several levels, but I love it best, when I use words to hide a clue written in plain sight. That is Cristie-esque."
Morris has never accepted anything simply because it is the norm. He admits, "I have enjoyed so many different careers, and seen so much of the world in the process, they seem like separate lifetimes. I always wanted to be a folk/rock star, because I'm driven to tell stories of people's lives and loves, initially by writing lyrics. Whilst being very good at playing a 12-string acoustic guitar, I could not sing to save my life. Over time, I discovered I could write, poems and short stories at first, and then novels."
Born in England to a local father and an Irish mother, Morris has lived in China since 2004. He has held numerous positions, from the ten years he spent as a police officer specializing in serious fraud, to entrepreneur and world trader, to writer. Early on, he qualified as a Yachtmaster for sailing vessels.
Aged forty-eight, he lost everything: his girlfriend, his home, his car, and because of that, his job. "It was a turning point. How does your mind work?" He asks. "I felt the bottom had dropped out of my life as I knew it, so after moping for a few months, I created a new life. I went to University to study Mobile Computing BSc. (Hons), and got my placement year in Foshan, China. I loved the culture, the people so much I never went back. Life is what you make it."
After two failed marriages, he is now happily married to Siu Ying, and living in the heartland of Cantonese China. Morris is father to their young daughter, Rhiannon. Morris is not a polyglot, but he speaks Cantonese to a conversational level. Although he and his wif...

Star Gazer
|
Imagine, the world Jack was born into, no longer exists.
Faced with the utter destruction of all life on Earth, can our heroes survive? The Great Ogre continues to wage war against all the other Tribes, confounding chances of survival, when the primordial forces of Mother Earth are unleashed upon a mainly unsuspecting human nature.
The Wrath of Gaia depicts a vision of the end of the world, completely original, entirely believable, and based in geological evidence.
Amid fast-paced, spicy action, survivors struggle with their daily existence, displaying humour, and they are also led to question their deepest beliefs: Are religions innately misogynistic? What of the balance between Man the sustainer and Woman the creator of life? What greater evil, was evoked in the concept of 'original sin'?
What is the nature of God—a deity, or was humanity created by an Alien race that came to Earth millions of years ago? That hypothesis, as presented in this book, is difficult to refute. Humanity has no common antecedent with the Great Apes. Did a race of star faring Ancestors create the missing link—create us? What is the elusive kernel of 'original truth' when it comes to our shared Humanity? What ties us together might also wrench us apart.
Once we know where we came from,
Once we know who we are,
How will we discover where we are ultimately going: Star Gazer, Second Trilogy…
In The Gatekeeper and the Guardian, Jack crashed into the ocean and was washed ashore, half dead, on an uncharted South Pacific island in August 2010. There he discovered an impossibly advanced science, operated by a stone-age culture, one that had lost the use of fire and the wheel. The first person he met was Jien Noi, (Jinnie), the Empress Elect of homo erectus colony. She also held the position of Gatekeeper.
His best friend to be, n'Gnung, is one with whom he shares a brotherly understanding. Jack marries Jien Noi, and n'Gnung is forever by his side. With others, they defeat an Ogre invasion at the end of Book One, but the threat posed by the Great Ogre, a menacing despot who demands all sentient life on Gaia bow to him, or be exterminated.
The Twelve Tribes introduced Kay (Ælkræleinnoire), or Dark Elf, and Owain, King of the Dwarves (Ddwyrth, or Neanderthals). This book revolved around returning all Twelve Tribes to the fold of known humanity. Wars with the Great Ogre ensued, ending with the emancipation of the Trolls, and all Twelve Tribes standing together.
The message, or fundamental question posed by the trilogy begins to assert itself: Does God exist, or were we created by a race of Aliens?
At the end of Book Two, we learn of a retaliatory nuclear strike on the Iranian Bushehr power plant. The bomb exploded inside a previously unknown nuclear missile silo and storage facility, the fallout from which is still unclear. What is known is that the entire Arabian Plate has subsequently been destabilised.
This book has three distinct parts:
• The Wrath of Gaia.
• Discoveries and full Aftermath begins on Page 77, Chapter 12.
• Final battles with The Great Ogre.
As a volume, it reads concurrently.
The main point of this trilogy is centred around Chapter 17, but is supported by all three books in this, the first trilogy of Star Gazer.
We examine and question the origin of species homo sapiens, and the existence of God. The author, acting as agent provocateur, proposes an alternative theory for the creation of mankind—That we were created by an Alien race in their own image.
This is not done to denigrate religious belief, but to embrace it. And by so doing, offer a path towards greater enlightenment, for all of humankind.
Would the Wrath of Gaia destroy all life on Earth?
Would the Great Ogre ever be defeated?
What would become of Humanity?
