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

These included THE TIME MACHINE, TREASURE ISLAND and TWENTY THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA as well as many other classics. Writer's block is something foreign to me. Often, (admittedly I am a slow typist), my fingers cannot keep up fast enough with the ideas filling my mind. To write is a part of me — just like breathing and sleeping.(less)

Whispered Voices

It was in 2009, a year before the Arab Spring when my wife Helena suggested to me one day, “Why don't we go back to the Giza Plateau and revisit old friends again?” At the time I had nearly finished the first book in my Giza Trilogy, The Pharaoh.

Paul’s Recent Updates

“For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen. Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together to build the impossible. Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking, and its greatest failures by not talking. It doesn't have to be like this. Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking.”
