Paul Morrison

Featured Author PAUL MORRISON - Australian Writer Paul Morrison, a retired museologist has been a writer for most of his life. “I cannot remember a time when I was not writing, even when I was five or six years old. I grew up on books such as TREASURE ISLAND, 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA and THE TIME MACHINE — these and many other books that I read in my early years fed my imagination, a voracious imagination transporting me to faraway places, other worlds and to other times in both the recent and more distant past...” Many of these worlds and places are visited in the novels and short story collections he has written. Besides a love of fiction, Paul also reads widely on ancient history and archaeology. “I am particularly interested in Ancient Egypt, mainly Old Kingdom Egypt during the age of the pyramid builders. I have always been intrigued as to how the pyramids were built and about the lives of the pharaohs and the workers who constructed these mountains of stone. There were many questions filling my mind, but few if any answers.” This inquiring interest led to the GIZA TRILOGY books, a monumental work of well-researched fiction set against the backdrop of the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau. Together, with their associated books, THE DIVINE LIGHT, ETERNAL EGYPT, (Supplement to the Giza Trilogy), and SECRET OF THE PYRAMID, these books total more than 1.3 million words! Other books written by Paul cover a wide range of subjects including historical fiction, science fiction, ghost and detective stories as well as many other genres. Paul currently lives in Hobart, Tasmania with his wife in a house overlooking the Derwent River. “The magnificent views of the Derwent River and Mount Wellington inspire me in my writings — but the most important inspiration is my wife, Helena.”
