Jonah Rowe thought he had the 11th Percent figured out. Spirits were real, and he had access to ethereal powers. He got that. But he hadn't expected this was one threat too many. One revelation too many. As ethereal monsters prepare to ravage Rome, Jonah is the only thing in the way of the ancient city being bathed in lifeblood. His survival depends on him confronting the one thing he never thought he'd have to. His past. Lifeblood is a standalone novel, and can be enjoyed even if you haven't read other books in the series. This is the large print edition of Lifeblood, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.
I'm T.H. Morris. The "TH" piece of it are the initials of my real name, while "Morris" honors my late grandmother, whose memory is the impetus of my series in many ways.
I was born in 1984 in Colerain, North Carolina, a town so small that I'm STILL surprised when I see it on the map. I've been an avid reader since I was very small, and always had partiality to tall tales, fables, fairy tales, mythologies, and later on, science fiction and paranormal.
I suppose that I've always wanted to be a writer. I've always had millions of stories in my head, but I had no earthly idea how to go about making them into books. Plus I had a lot of "well-meaning" people who attempted to beat it into my head that I needed to let go of "childish" dreams and focus on a "real" job.
But in February 2011, my mind had different plans. I had a seven-hour uninterrupted dream that I recounted to me wife the following morning. She told me, "That needs to be a book." I started writing the next day, and The 11TH Percent Series was born! I haven't looked back!
The 11TH Percent Series follows the life happenings of Jonah Rowe, who goes from a nondescript accountant to the center of an ethereal conflict. There is humor, hardship, fear, adventure...you name it!

It's an honor and a pleasure to connect with you all. I look forward to getting to know you and having you along for the ride for years to come!
I am really enjoying this series. I picked up the first book because the author offered it for free on Amazon as a Halloween present. I was hooked. Truly hoping the storyline continues.
This series is so utterly captivating that even when your not reading it, you're thinking about it and book 3 is by far the best so far. The characters continually grow and the storylines strengthen with each chapter.
Sooooo sooooooo sooooo good!!!!:-). These characters get more complex and more fascinating with each book in this series!!!:-). And I super love the way that paranormal entities are focused upon with a totally unique perspective that I haven’t seen often in other paranormal stories…. Could not stop turning the pages in this one and I cannot WAIT to see where this journey heads next!!!:-). LOVED IT!!!:-)
This is the third book in the 11th percent series, I didn't think it was possible, but again this author has managed to raise the bar of incredible story telling even higher He is a master story teller. I would recommend reading this series in order to get the full effect. You won't want to miss a single second of this amazing journey.
This time we have Jonah and the gang back along with some new characters. Some good, some ..well downright evil to be exact.( It's going to very hard not to give any spoilers here so I'll do the best I can.) Jonah and the crew are faced with a completely new set of problems and demons to overcome this go around. When you first start to see what's happening you think, oh ok been here done that...NOPE not with this author and this series. He puts a totally new spin on an adversary you may think you have figured out. ALWAYS expect the unexpected in this series!
To overcome the issues this time, the main characters have to go deep inside themselves and face many of their deepest insecurities and regrets. It is gut wrenching to see what they have to endure, but it gives you an even better understanding of each person. Some of them have very hard life changing decisions to make. Will they let the issues from their past define and destroy them? Will they dig deep and overcome their perceived issues to guide them to a better future? You will have to read to find out!
To read a book by T.H. Morris is like stepping into a portal. You are completely immersed into the world he masterfully creates for you.The story and the characters literally come alive .You will see what they see and feel what they feel. He writes in a way that you feel as if you are right there beside each one of the characters going along with them for the ride of their lives! You will find yourself gasping ,holding your breath and having moments where your heart is beating wildly in this book!! But, be forewarned once you pick this book up, you will not be able to put it down until it's finished!
Like the two books before this.you will find yourself thinking about this book long after you close the last page, and counting the days until the next installment!
And remember,..".what doesn't kill you leaves you haunted" .
I've been a fan of Mr. Morris' work since the first book, and the series keeps getting better with each installment. I must say that I found "Lifeblood" to be the most frightening and most intriguing of the three so far. It's hard to scare me, and some things in this book did make me pause in my reading. More than being creepy, this is a narrative that easily blends fantasy and reality together. Jonah, as I have mentioned before, is a great lead character. He is almost benign in his normalcy, and that is what makes this series so likable. He is your coworker, your neighbor, even you. He is unusual in a protagonist, but he is also wonderful in his own way. You don't HAVE to read the first two books before reading this series, but it might be best if you did. There are some hints at the previous books and certain situations that might be confusing for new readers. I liked delving into that character's past, learning more and more than many authors would tell a reader. This story is an exercise in understanding and humanity, despite it's non-human secondary characters. It makes you wonder if, somehow, this could be real. That is my favorite part of it, the writing that makes your imagination run wild.
I have been a fan of T.H. Morris since I discovered The 11th Percent because I know that when I pick up a Morris book, I am going to be sucked into the fantastic world he has created. The characters are relatable. Likable. But most of all?
Morris knows the magic formula to pull a reader in and keep that reader into his world long after the book has been closed.
Lifeblood is no different. From the first line to the last, Morris enchants his readers with the most important element of any book: the story. He is a master at weaving together realism with fantasy. Life with art. Reading Lifeblood was like an exclusive view into a world we shouldn’t know anything about, but can’t live without.
If you haven’t read the first two books of this series, do yourself the honor and one click both of them. You won’t regret being pulled into the magic Morris created.
Take it from a reader obsessed. You won’t be able to read this book just once.
T.H.Morris has done it again with the third instalment of the "The 11th Percent Series" LIFEBLOOD... So I am clear from the start, this is not a standalone, in order to fully be engulfed in this magical series, do yourself a massive favor and start from the beginning. Jonah and the crew are back, with a whole new set of problems and without giving anything away I thought the haunting was epic... :) If you love a series that perfectly weaves fantasy and reality into a world that you seriously want to get lost in and never come back from. If you love a book that grabs you so hard and demands that you don't stop till you have read the last page. If you love a series that the characters are so well crafted and conveyed you would think you know them personally. Then this series by T.H.Morris is for you. Grab it, read it, love it!!!
Lifeblood is a fantastic, captivating read. The more I read, the more I love The 11th Percent Series. T.H. Morris has masterfully created more fantastic beasts and beings for Jonah Rowe and his friends to battle. In order to reach victory, some must face the even greater enemy lurking within. Are they strong enough to defeat themselves?
