About the author

What do I read? Fiction that cares about characters AND plot. Although I'm a sucker for beautiful language, I like a story too, dammit. I'm a slow reader because I'm easily trapped by lovely sentences and ideas, and when I enjoy a book I'm reluctant to leave its world behind.
I live in London with my writer husband, and our house is mostly decorated with bookshelves - so much so that different rooms are devoted to different categories, like a shop. My study, where I'm writing this now, is the fiction room - and when I look up from my keyboard it's a pleasure to see the spines of novels that have been important to me.

I'm a journalist, ghostwriter, editor and writing coach, and I'm also coming out from behind the ghosting curtain with novels of my own.

I've got eight books in circulation (books that I can admit to, that is!) Four are about writing - the Nail Your Novel series. I also have three nailed novels. My Memories of a Future Life is a contemporary reincarnation story with a twist that asks as many questions as it answers. Lifeform Three is a science fiction fable in the tradition of Ray Bradbury. Ever Rest is an exploration of how we live after we lose the most important person in our world. And I have a book of true travel tales, Not Quite Lost: Travels Without A Sense of Direction.
Ever Rest will be published on 3 June 2021.

This is one of those books I will come back to time and again, year after year.

Roz Morris evokes every sense to portray her story of two very individual characters in a complex and destructive relationship, with a shocking twist. I was gripped from the first sentence to the last and simply want more.

This is not just a novel. This is a masterclass.

I need to talk to someone about this book

Review of My Memories of a Future Life by Roz Morris

Last night my wife went off to her local book club and I was so jealous. Not for the normal reason, that her book club is in a pub and I was missing a few pints. No, because she was going to have a chance to discuss with a peer group the book they had all read. I had just finished reading Roz Morris's novel and it has left my head in a spin, with no pub full of cronies to help out.

As a musician, author and reader of literary fiction myself, this book was potentially right up my street. I know the author is a ghost writer and her blog posts are usually along the theme of music in fiction or writing advice. The risks were great in deciding to read and review My Memories of a Future Life. I don't usually review 'independent authors'. What if it was crap? What if it was over-stuffed with in-your-face musical references and a writing style like a paint-by-numbers exercise?

I needn't have worried. From the first few pages I was in comfort. Then I began to experience discomfort. Not with the prose or undeniable musical influence, but a shared discomfort with the protagonist as she battled with a debilitating, lifestyle threatening malady. As the literary themes developed it became difficult to put the book (well, ebook, I read it on my kindle) down.

The main themes that came across to me in this book were threefold: how much a life can be impacted by devotion to a single pastime or occupation; the draw of mysticism and the subtle line between belief and cynicism; and the trust that we place in others through relationships.

Being a multi-tasker myself when it comes to hobbies and occupations, I often envy those who can dedicate themselves to one particular pursuit. They achieve a level of immersion and eventual expertise that unavoidably places the 'amateur' label on others less devoted. Morris exemplifies this very well in the character of Carol, yet her very way of life is under threat as the problem with her hands begins to marginalise Carol from her own society.

The overt chicanery of the hypnotist Anthony Morrish contrasts well with Carol's therapeutic experiences of Gene, and the other-worldly setting of Vellonoweth adds sinister elements reminiscent of The League of Gentlemen and The Prisoner. This balance between intrigue, mild terror and charlatanism is perfectly maintained throughout.

Carol's friendship with Jerry is a cornerstone of her life. The Gene thing is dysfunctional but Carol clearly yearns for that excitement. Both she and Gene are pretty screwed up compared to 'normal' people. She's very reluctant to give herself, he's an enigma and the whole thing goes on above a buried nuclear power station.

Metaphors abound in this story. The reader is regularly invited to take things on face value, push them away as fake or adopt a Zen approach to the Andreq future life and Vellonoweth shenanigans.

Morris presents the whole like a crossroads where each and any direction can make sense. My Memories of a Future Life is a wondrous book.

Put the kettle on and clear your schedule for an afternoon: once you start reading this book, you won’t want to put it down.

Full review, including quotes, at Dark Side of the Covers

Reading My Memories of a Future Life was like experiencing life through another person’s body and mind. I repeatedly found myself falling into the lyrical language and haunting, twisting plot, only to surface with surprise and realize I was now almost late for work, because far more time had passed than I thought.

Morris is truly a wordsmith, blending description and dialogue into a compelling story that draws you in, plays with your mind, and leaves you a little breathless when it’s over. Morris possesses an uncanny ability to communicate not just what’s happening, but how it feels.

Carol, the protagonist and first-person narrator, is a woman struggling with the loss of her life as she knew it: she’s a lifetime pianist with a repetitive stress injury that has taken away her ability to play and left only pain. This is a scenario that could have easily led to a whiny narrative, but that’s not the case here. Instead, we find a poignant story steeped with melancholy, edged with a desperate hope, and twisted throughout with both darkness and humor.

In many ways the story defies classification: it is not a paranormal, but it flirts with the possibility of “other,” it is not a romance, although there is a relationship, it is not a mystery, although there are endless clues to be unraveled. What is it? Haunting, compelling, mind-bending, and definitely worth reading.

[Debra Hewitt · Rating 4 out of 5]

In My Memories of a Future Life, Roz Morris has given us a complicated heroine with an engaging voice. Although baffled by some of her actions, I warmed to the narrator, a professional musician, who feels that her life is over when told she can’t play the piano. While coping with a diagnosis of repetitive stress injury which will put her career on hold Carol seeks out a therapist who helps her discover through hypnosis, not a past life as many others have, but a future life. Of course, a future life is exactly what Carol needs, but whether this one will suffice is debatable. What is also debatable is whether we, the readers, are supposed to believe the past and future lives revealed to characters under hypnosis are real or whether we should conclude they are only the fanciful products of unscrupulous manipulation. I don’t think the author answers that decisively, and in a book that constantly questions the motives and trustworthiness of its characters, that’s probably fitting.

I loved Lifeform Three (a hauntingly wonderful book that still hangs in my mind)... and while I wouldn't say My Memories... is going to hold the same place as LFT, I will say I definitely need to talk to someone about this book! What did I read?! But that's not a bad thing, believe me. Roz's writing is amazing. She is able to bring you in and capture you until she's willing to let you go. She created a cast of characters so intriguing I didn't realize until I was done that none of them were people I liked. Again, this should not deter you from reading this one. So much is going on here beneath the surface. The ending? I'm really not sure... That's why somebody needs to talk to me! Read it. Roz needs to write more novels (with her name on them). I will read them.

Carol Lear is a gifted pianist, but her life in music seems to be over when hand injury stops her from playing. Distraught that she may never play again, a chance meeting with Gene — a young physiotherapist and old acquaintance — puts her on a path to possible recovery. Gene becomes part of Carol’s life as he reveals he is able to help people overcome their pain through hypnotism.

Carol is dismissive of Gene, but also intrigued. Her flatmate and close friend Jerry takes a past-life hypnotic regression, which reveals him to have lived a previous life as a victim of Jack the Ripper. Carol doesn’t put much heed in Jerry’s experience, but as a close and supportive friend she is there to help him make sense of it. So when Gene offers her a similar experience, she eventually accepts.

Carol’s hypnotism does not take her into a past life, but instead she travels forward to a distant future where humans now live beneath the sea. She experiences the life of a man named Andreq, a healer to wealthy clients. Healing is administered through a mysterious process, the xech, but Andreq is unable to xech for his clients despite his best efforts. The parallels between Andreq and Carol are clear, and Morris writes gorgeous, flowing prose to evoke the underwater world and Andreq’s place there.

Andreq’s life is explored less completely than Carol’s. Her relationship with Gene is complex. Carol is unable to fully trust him and is unsure of his motivation, but faced with the fear of losing her her music, who else can she turn to? Her rheumatologist hasn’t given Carol the answers she craves; perhaps Gene can?

Gene takes a break in a remote Cornish village, and while away he informs Carol of an opening to cover for a singing teacher there. Understanding that the change of pace might be good for her, Carol accepts. The novel takes a different tone as Carol enters the lives of this fusty old village. The roster of characters she meets there are somewhat peculiar, while others are downright creepy. Some who practice past-life regressions become aware of Carol’s memories of her future life, and this is where the novel changes tone. Carol becomes private and protective of her experience in the face of the obsession that these past-lifers seem to have with her.

This novel is very different from anything I have read before. The language is beautiful, lyrical and evokes windswept wilderness and stormy seas. Carol is a fascinating person, richly drawn and utterly believable. Gene is equally complex, although his motivations are never completely clear. I found myself especially enamoured of the musical tone that runs throughout, and even though I am no musician, I found it easy to fully inhabit Carol’s passion — and her pain.

Towards the end of the novel, the nature of the story shifts up a gear. What had been a slow burning, contemplative mystery becomes more energetic, culminating in a bitter conflict set in a raging storm. I loved this unexpected end. The location, the setting, the characters all come together in powerful imagery and seductive prose.

My Memories of a Future Life asks timeless questions about longing, loss and memory that any of us can relate to. This is beautiful storytelling by a writer with a musician’s soul, and I await her next book with excitement.

“My Memories of a Future Life” by Roz Morris

Roz Morris is known as a talented author and “My Memories of a Future Life” is a great example of her talent. This book kept me wondering what I was reading and at the same time pushed me to keep reading it until it all came together. Completely unpredictable, going between Carol’s life today and to another, very different, place…read it to understand.-Green Gables Book Reviews

Carol is struggling. The only thing she has ever known is causing her immense pain. she has been through tests, no Dr can find a physical problem, but Carol is in constant, jolting pain. She has been told to limit the use of her hands. Devastatingly, this means no more playing the piano, which is her life. Even picking up a set of keys seems like the most daunting task.

When Carol’s roommate Jerry asks her to go somewhere with him, she goes. To her surprise, Jerry, who struggles greatly with panic attacks, is soon on stage, with a well-known hypnotist. What comes out during the hypnosis seems to help Jerry and possibly gives him some answers he has been seeking. Carol is surprised when someone from her past is there and helps to get Jerry home safely.

Carol and Gene form a relationship. It is not really a friendship, he is not her Doctor, he is her…what? Carol really doesn’t know. But, when Gene calls her with an opportunity to still be in the world of music without playing the piano, she jumps at the chance and leaves.

If Carol had known what her relationship with Gene would become, would she have taken the risk? What is she to Gene? Am experiment? A patient? A lover? How can one be taken to a different place so easily? Carol begins questioning many things as she listens to proof of their time together. Gene’s oddly timed disappearance makes Carol begin to question everything. Is Carol safe? What does Gene know about her that she doesn’t know?

Thank you to Author Roz Morris for sending me this book!

I loved this book - I was away on a writing retreat and instead of writing I ended up spending hours lying on my bed reading it. In some ways I should have hated it - as a rule I don't like fantasy or science fiction - although My Memories of a Future Life really defies classification. All I know is I was gripped from the beginning.
There was a fascinating transition from the real streets of London to a seaside town in the southwest and I felt an increasing sense of menace. At times it gave me the creepy feeling of Rosemary's Baby or the Wicker Man in the evocation of a village full of people all in the know and talking about Carol, the protagonist - the outsider. This place, Vellonoweth is in itself very strange with its underground power station and offshore radio station that transmits whale songs, discussions of records of railway trains and beginners' clarinet lessons.
Throughout the book the struggles of Carol, a professional pianist suffering from RSI, to come to terms with her condition, her past, her relationship with her career as a pianist and her personal relationships with the men in her life are beautifully expressed. The book is also a masterful portrayal of the act of making music and the way it feels to play a piano.
The story is very unusual and very creative - from the way instead of a past life regression Carol experiences a future life regression (and why not?!) - to the nature of this future world - a rather beautiful undersea city which is superbly and vividly evoked. I would love to be able to xech - Carol's future self, Andreq is trying to hide the fact that he cannot do this act - so essential to his role as a soothesayer (not soothsayer) - in a parallel to Carol's struggles with RSI.
I did get a bit confused by the profusion of characters in Vellonoweth and in the last third of the book did wonder where exactly it was going - but it got there in the end and in a very satisfactory way.
Roz Morris writes like an angel - perfectly crafted sentences and imagery like little jewels on the page. Highly recommended.

[Mandy Howes · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a fascinating exploration of creativity, the power of the mind and what happens when someone loses the ability to do what drives them. Carol is a professional pianist who is forced by injury to stop playing. Hoping it is only temporary, when she experiences her close friend’s visit to an on-stage hypnotist who apparently cures him of his panic attacks through regression to a former life, she is sceptical. But when she meets a former schoolfriend, now a physiotherapist and hypnotist, she is unwittingly drawn into a series of similar experiences – but her episodes are from future. She remains cynical yet is inexorably drawn both to her alter ego from the future, Andreq, and her enigmatic and manipulative hypnotist, Gene. An extended stay in the strange West Country seaside town of Vellonoweth, and encounters with a group of mystics whom she at first dismisses as eccentric charlatans, but who become increasingly sinister, leads her to wonder exactly what it is she is getting drawn into.
Carol’s pain, frustration and talent are vividly drawn, as are her lovable friend Jerry, the distant and manipulative Gene and a colourful supporting cast of Vellonoweth eccentrics. Both the London and small-town settings are really atmospheric. This is a really involving novel, with some fascinating and exciting twists and turns, as well as giving plenty of food for thought.
I really recommend this and look forward to reading more by Roz Morris.

[Saleena Karim · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this novel a few months ago in its 'serialised' form. It's a twist on the reincarnation theme; the protagonist (Carol) is taken to her future life instead of her past one. She's a pianist with a mysterious pain her hands and it's threatening to end her career. Whilst she's on a forced break from her professional playing Carol spends some time at a sleepy village, where she meets a man from her school days (Gene). He becomes the therapist who takes her on her journey to the future.

What makes Carol's journey interesting is that she's a skeptic. She doesn't really believe in reincarnation, but she's drawn both to Gene and to this future, which I won't describe because it'd take too long. Her unique 'future life' sessions soon get the attention of the village and the local spiritualists - and not in a good way. The village starts off very drab and frankly quite dull - but later on the residents become increasingly creepy. And then Carol faces a frightening question: If she really is seeing her future life, what does it say about her own mortality? And is death coming sooner than she thinks?

A good book. Not for everyone, but if you like 'strange' (not horror) fiction, you'll like this.

[Grigory Ryzhakov · Rating 5 out of 5]

Carol is a professional pianist who lives consumed in her music world until one day she has to stop playing piano due to a medical condition.

This strange, captivating story is about Carol's struggle to recover. And when the potential cure involves a mystery man and a childhood acquaintance Carol is very much drawn to, this calls for trouble.

What secrets keeps a small town where everyone is abnormally interested in Carol's future reincarnation? I thought the deus ex machine dramatic climax perfectly suited this story. It felt as impossible as Andreq's xeching, yet it also felt like an inevitable exit for her: with so many ploys concocting around her, it was only a matter of time the entropy would be released in explosion, disguised as a storm.

I think I have had a similar sensation when reading M. Atwood's Handmaid's Tale. Carol's distinct voice reminded me of Offred's for some reason.

This may not be an easy read, yet rewarding to those who enjoy deciphering subtextual messages and appreciate beautiful and metaphorical language.

Another book I will forever cherish. It is officially the FOURTH book on my shelf with underlined sentences. FOURTH. As you can imagine, it takes a lot for a book to make it to that corner of my bookshelf. The corner which embodies inspiration. The corner I turn to when I need to remind myself that words don't just make a story, they make music. An amazing, stunning, beautiful book.

Favourite lines are:

Page 46: The champagne gave off a biscuity smell. The bubbles sparkled and jumped over the rim of the glass like a breath on my hand.

Page 103: The sun was a nicotine stain across the clouds.

Page 253: He drew the curtains and put a lamp on a low table. When he switched it on the shadows flowed like water into the hollows of the woman's face.

Page 268: ... the pain beat a metronome in my bones.

I've just edited this review to add the fifth star. Why? Because although its months since I read 'Memories of a Future Life' I find I often think about it, and that, to me, means it was an excellent book.

I know they say you should always leave an audience wanting more, but it's just not fair on your readers when you create an interesting character and then send him off to New Zealand at the end! I want to know more!

There's no question that the book was beautifully written, I have been in many of the situations described, from the yoga class at the beginning to attracting the interest of well meaning spiritualists. I loved everything about it, there were places where I was sure I could smell the sea, and I know I'm being unfair in giving it only four stars, but I'm an old romantic. I want more.

A beautifully-written and thoughtful novel that leads the reader into the mind of a professional musician

A professional musician loses the use of her hands and is driven to find ways to recover her beloved music. A chance meeting with an old friend leads her into hypnotherapy and she finds herself, instead of bringing back the world of music she has lost, discovering a future life where she is an indentured energy worker. The sessions lead her to challenge her current situation and her understanding of reality, dreams, love, relationships and the choices of her life. A beautifully-written and thoughtful novel that leads the reader into the particular mind of a professional musician – and then so much deeper.

[Anthony Randall · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was transported with this novel, back to the 1970s and a genre of brilliant British suspense thrillers no longer produced on celluloid. The drama had that essence to it, gritty, mysterious, esoteric and futuristic of course. I love the author’s style, her unique metaphors and her humorous turn of phrase, but most of all, she speaks in a language you’ve been grasping at in vain for years, the minutiae of a perception, the tangible description of an emotion, she can re-connect you with a lost moment.
The plot is eloquently both perplexing and dream-esque, as it is fascinating and engrossing. The protagonist is witty, sardonic, cynical and complex, yet familiar.
Overall, it’s an enjoyable read with a pace that quickens like a stimulated heart towards its frantic conclusion.

A pianist is having treatment for sever RSI which means doing virtually anything with her hands is extremely painful. She is house sharing with her friend Jerry who is having major panic attacks, and who goes to a hypnotist for help. Jerry is regressed to a past life as Ruby one if the Rippers victims - but the pianist is not convinced. She then meets Gene the friend of an old school friend who helps people deal with their pain.. She ends up being hypnotised, but in her case to a future life as Andreq. The story follow her current life and hypnotism experiences with a massive twist at the end.

[Sue Ryan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I hold Roz in high esteem - her Nail Your Novel book is worth its weight in gold - so I really wanted to love this book. And I did. The evocation of other worlds that Roz creates had just the right fantasy qualities. The tension and intrigue were spot on. I admit that the critical dramatic scene had me a little muddled and at times Carol, the protagonist, seemed too indecisive and easily-led. Never mind, it didn't spoil the rest of the story and I still recommend the book to anyone who loves to let their imagination soar, especially if they are - or know - a musician! I believe I will carry strong impressions of the 'future life' with me for some time to come.

[Andy Fletcher · Rating 5 out of 5]

An intriguing premise in this debut novel from Roz Morris (ghost writing not withstanding). Evidently having taken tips from her own set of writing advice books, the well observed characters are believably drawn out, warts and all. The two narratives blend well, what could easily have resulted as pretentious, is original, thought provoking and poetic. Recommended, and a book I intend returning to.

The author is nothing if not diverse and I can highly recommend her second novel, Lifeform Three and her memoir, Not Quite Lost.

Twisty adventure, luscious writing

What an interesting set of characters and concepts all mixed with stunning prose. This book will definitely end up in my favorites list. Not an unhappy ending, but one that made sense and didn't force anything...which I loved. I found the beginning a bit slow but I enjoyed the writing enough to push through and wait for the "why". It was worth it.

A book to read twice

The richness of this book requires more than one reading. It takes you from the mundane to the sublime to the transformative. It does nothing that you expect, and Morris does the unexpected well. This book is a surprise and a delight in the reading I thought I lost some thousands of books ago. Well done indeed!

Imaginative and different; the premise is very seductive. Reading this, for me, is more of a slow-burn process in that I find myself thinking about what's going on in the story at times when I don't even have the book in front of me. This is not a disposable novel.

[Kim · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have very confused feelings about this book. I'm reading Roz Morris's non-fiction about writing fiction (Nail Your Novel), which is full of inspiration and great advice. I know also that she has ghost written many novels. So I really expected and wanted to love this book. From the outset I really loved the title. But..... this is where I get really confused and don't know what I think about it. As a whole, did I love it? No. Did I want to stop reading it? No. Is she (In my humble opinion) a "good" writer? ABSOLUTELY. Some of her turns-of-phrase and imagery were the sort, that as a lover of words, you stop to admire and maybe read again and have fleeting (and extended) moments of writer's envy. Simultaneously inspired and intimidated. Example: "He drew the curtains and put a lamp on a low table. When he switched it on the shadows flowed like water into the hollows of the woman's face." Her scenes are vivid, the characters distinct. The setting feels alive. But...the story had some issues for me. I found it hard to believe that so many people were so deeply invested in the mundane regression sessions of one average woman. The menacing, almost kidnapping, seemed really implausible to me. The final big scene with the stealing of the tapes and all that follows, was over-the-top to me. Gene was so mysterious, then he turned out to just be a jerk, and her sudden reversal from an artist to someone who decides she hates her art didn't sit right with me. I guess I was asked to take too many leaps of faith. I got tired, and wasn't making it across all the chasms by the end. So I guess I feel the plot (though very detailed), was weak, but the writing was wonderful. It was so vivid I know parts of it will stay with me for a long time.

[Lora · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this in a very short time, partly because Morris' style is readable, her narrative world quite minimalistic. Mostly in horror at where I saw her taking the main character, Carol.

As the title suggests, this is a story about Carol connecting w/a future self via hypnosis. If Morris herself has undergone hypnosis in the same manner Carol does, I would suggest she report her practitioner immediately & then run like hell. But I seriously doubt that she has. Her fictitious hypnotist, Gene, reads more like a mesmerer from some Gothic thriller than a medical professional.

My biggest complaint about the book is that Gene destroys the creativity which defines Carol, & Carol subsequently rejoices in this, telling the reader that what we've been led to believe is her creative joy, actually is the very thing keeping her from being her creative self.

I would accept that if there'd been any inclination in the story that it was. There is none. Zilch.
This conclusion comes out of left field, awkwardly breaking the narrative arc. Instead of helping us believe this outcome, Morris shows very clearly how Gene & in fact, many people in Carol's life are compulsively destructive to her.

So I read this book as yet another volume in our culture which views the destruction of women as entertainment.

Trust me. It isn't.

Carol Lear is a professional pianist who is unable to play due to unexplained pain. When conventional treatments fail she is open to trying anything to help her return to normal and be able to get on with her life. But this leads her down a strange path that turn out to be an allegory that allows that, just not in the way she was expecting.
