About the Author

John R. Morris is a California native born in the western shadow of the San Bernardino mountains. He grew up a sportsman: surfing, skiing, rock climbing and motorcycles.

When indoors, Science Fiction and Fantasy stories were an essential staple of entertainment. He dabbled in writing through several jobs that included stocking grocery shelves, selling coffee, being a business partner, and later an independent consultant and systems administrator.

Through that time, he focused on publishing short stories. His story Collision Course was accepted to the Mira Costa Tidepools Anthology and was used in writing classes.

In 2008, John along with a few other veteran writers created the Spring Valley Writers Group. The members subsequently persuaded him to focus on being a novelist. His debut novel, The King's Steel was released in 2022.

John lives in the Chula Vista suburb of San Diego with his wife and pets. He is an avid WoW gamer in a high-ranked raiding guild. His latest distraction is his three grandchildren.
