What is something unique/quirky about you?
We breed Morgan horses. We consult with Morgan breeders to help them choose breeding combinations to achieve a desired result.
We are also song writers; Janet plays bass guitar and Chris sings and plays guitar. We have an album on MCA records. Look for Christopher Crosby Morris on Soundcloud or N1M.com
Can you, for those who don’t know you already, tell something about yourself and how you became an author?
Janet wrote her first book in 1975 and Chris was the first one to read and comment on it. Their marriage survived. A routine emerged where Chris would read aloud all the new drafts and we would make edits on the spot. After a few books Chris’ ideas became frequent enough that we agreed he should have credit for writing, whereas before we had kept separate Janet’s storytelling and Chris’ songwriting. The rest, as they say is history.
Who is your hero and why?
Heraclitus of Ephesus, a pre-socratic philosopher, whose Cosmic Fragments foreshadow our knowledge of reality and how to perceive it. Among his precepts is the statement that change alone is unchanging. We’ve worked Heraclitus’ fragments in here and there throughout our books.
Which of your novels can you imagine being made into a movie?
All of them. We write cinematically, our books are vivid adventures undertaken without knowing the destination. I, the Sun, The Sacred Band, Outpassage and M.E.D.U.S.A. are particularly suited to film. The Threshold Series is a feast of opportunities for today’s special effects creators.
What inspired you, to write School of Night?
We are trying to change what many people think hell is. In other words, we don’t believe in a hell below when people right here and now are struggling to address all sorts of social ills. So in a way, we’re just showing in our stories that no matter where you are in life, you have to learn to deal with people and situations that are very different from your expectations. Of course people are suffering torments, many of which are self-generated from failing or refusing to understand what’s going on. What inspires us is the notion that even the devil needs rehabilitation, perhaps more than any of the damned souls. In our last story in Liars in Hell, the spymaster Frances Walsingham is forced to explain to a plague god that human souls are totally misunderstood by the likes of angels, demons, and that that misunderstanding is the root of all suffering.
Convince us why you feel Liars in Hell is a must read.
Liars in Hell is a collection of stories by different authors expressing different viewpoints about handling difficulties which at times seem to threaten everything we hold dear. Amazingly, writers from different backgrounds converge on main themes that are sure to strike a chord with readers who simply love a good tale.
Who designed your book covers?
Most of our covers, including Liars in Hell, are realized by Roy Mauritsen, a gifted graphic artist.
Advice to writers?
As for advice to writers, here is all we know: write the story you want to read. Start at the beginning, go to the end, and stop. Seriously. From start to finish you must inhabit the construct in a manner that makes the reader choose to continue; if you, as the writer, can’t feel what it’s like being there, your readers can’t either. So close your eyes, look at your feet where they are standing on the story’s ground; tell me what you see. Tell me what you hear. Ask at the end of each paragraph ‘what happens next?’. If you lose touch with it, wait until you’re back inside it. Tell the story that comes to you, and from you, to me.
