Award-winning fiction writer from Southampton, J. S. Morton, will be at Coffee Woolston on February 27th for a relaxed question and answer session.
J.S. Morton is an award-winning fiction writer with a deep love for dark comedy. Most of his stories revolve around real-life issues, psychology (depression/anxiety), and comedy (that comes with coping with it). He is best known for his book ‘You’re Gone’, which was a Red Ribbon winner in the Wishing Shelf Book Competition and was reviewed with a ‘Get it’ by Kirkus Reviews.
As a reader, he loves a gritty dystopia as much as dark, humorous read and cites ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’, ‘1984’, ‘Darkly Dreaming Dexter’, and ‘You’ among some of his favourites.
Outside of writing, John is a passionate fan of live music (punk/metal), cars, reading, cinema, and snow.
He is also a staunch believer in kindness (because life is hard), and that it is never too late in life to start again.
His new book is called One-Hit Wonder and will be set directly in Southampton.
