About the author
Douglas E. Morris
15 books2 followersDouglas E. Morris has had over 16 books published, many about traveling in Italy, was the editor of two award-winning weekly U.S. Embassy newsletters – the Veneto Views in Rome and the Brussels Weekly in Brussels – had a monthly travel column about Italy in Primo magazine, and has penned articles for a variety of periodicals around the world, including The Washington Post, The Washington Times, Flanders Today, National Geographic Georgia, Smoke, Transitions Abroad, Foreign Service Journal, and State Magazine.
Along with living in Italy for over 15 years, 10 of them in Rome, the author has had the privilege of residing on 3 continents, in 12 countries, spanning more than 30 years. He has visited the pyramids in Egypt and Chichen Itza, trekked Alpine peaks in Switzerland and Austria, savored the libertine culture of Denmark, hiked Hadrian’s Wall in northern England, unearthed ancient Roman ruins in Caesarea Israel, traversed the Great Wall in China, sailed the Fjords of Norway, scaled the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and bar hopped down Hooker Hill in Seoul; as well as many other acts of wild abandon far removed from the realm of everyday life.
As a result of these and many other unique cross-cultural explorations, Mr. Morris has developed a keen sense of what makes for an authentic travel experience. He has put that insight into all his travel guide books to help ensure that you have the most enjoyable travel experience possible.
Those same experiences allowed him to develop the insights in "It's a Sprawl World After All," which shows how American style suburban sprawl has had a dramatically negative impact on U.S. society and communities.
In his upcoming novel, "The Daily American," those indepth, cross cultural insights helped to breath life into this rollercoaster of an atmospheric thriller, based on actual events, and set in 1970s Italy that revolves around a newly transplanted American reporter who discovers that the English-language newspaper he is working for is actually a CIA front. The protagonist then puts his life on the line to expose the truth, exploring how an ordinary individual imbued with the courage of their convictions can make a difference in the world. This thought-provoking narrative combines the intrigue of Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon espionage novels with the energy of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher action thrillers.
