He discusses his transition from the corporate world to becoming a successful author and the inspiration behind his books. He also talks about the importance of continuous learning and the impact of artificial intelligence on society. Guy shares his experience of starting the Author Event Network to promote and sell books at festivals and events. He offers advice to his younger self and discusses his future plans as an author. Retired from a 38-year executive career with Fortune 100 software, high-tech and global energy, Guy Morris has also been a published song writer for Disney Records, a patented inventor, a Coast Guard charter captain, an adventurer, and now, a self-published author of thrillers. From cartel death threats in Latin America to the shark diving in Moorea – from a Board Room to a recording studio - from child homelessness to corporate jets, Guy pulls from a rich life of diverse experience to write books that thrill, educate, and inspire thoughtful dialogue on genuine issues facing humanity. Since his 2021 debut, Guy has released three pulse-pounding thrillers inspired by true stories, actual technologies, global politics and history. His Kirkus recommended books have earned BookTrib’s Best 25 Books of 2021, Reader’s Favorite Gold and Silver Awards, finalist for IAN Book of the Year, and semi-finalist for Cinematic Book. His articles have been published in SD Voyager and Mystery & Suspense magazines. In early 2022, he formed the non-profit Author Event Network association, where local accomplished authors collaborate to sign books at community events and festivals to engage readers, build platform and sell more books at higher margins.
