about me

My name is Stan Morris and I live on a farm on the island of Maui. I have epublished several books, and I am currently working on several others. I am married and we have two grown sons. I love to garden, and I grow lots of stuff. I love sports; I have four LCD TV's in my man-cave. I read a lot, but not as much as I use to. I like to write; I hate to proofread. I love music. I would never pirate a song, because I want to own the album. MP3's are acceptable only if I have ripped them from my own albums. I love to drive cars and I hate to work on them. The three greatest influences in my life are religious fundamentalism, conservative atheism, and the civil rights movement. Politically I am an independent despising equally, Democratic Party machine politics and the crackpot anti-science Republicans.

Surviving the Fog

Stan Morris

Ever been to summer camp? What would you do if almost all the adults left "for a couple of hours" and never came back?


Ever been to summer camp? What would you do if almost all the adults left "for a couple of hours" and never came back? What if you discovered that the elevation of your camp was above a mysterious fog containing monsters? What if your parents never came for you? How would you survive? What would you eat? How would you prepare for the winter? Come and join Mike, John, Desi, Eric, and Yuie and the rest of the campers as they struggle against nature, outsiders, and themselves to rebuild a world populated almost entirely by teenagers.

Sara, You have a very charming story here. It needs some editing. In some paragraphs, the sentences seem out of order, and there are some adjectives and adverbs that don't add to the story. Sometimes Wendy's dialogue seems to be a little too mature for a ten year old. But over all, I think this... view book

Derek, for the most part, your imagery is outstanding, much better than the average writer. The only one I would question is ,"like jagged shadows piercing an already forgotten dream." That one was difficult to imagine, and that is where your imagery is so good, I can see it as you say it. view book
