Guy Morris is a successful businessman, thought leader, adventurer, inventor, and published composer. During college, Guy was influenced by men of the Renaissance who were fluent in business, science, politics and the arts. After growing up on the streets, he earned grad school scholarships for his innovative macroeconomic models, and won numerous innovation awards throughout his career. His first novel, an action-espionage thriller entitled SWARM won a KIRKUS review recommendation awarded to less than 10% of indie authors. With three degrees and thirty-six years of executive-level experience in energy & high tech firms, Guy's thrillers bend the fine line between truth and fiction with a sardonic wit. ​Producer-Creator -During 1996, Guy produced an interactive espionage and AI webisode series that won a number of awards, an option by AOL and an unexpected visit from the FBI. The series featured an artificial intelligence which had escaped NSA laboratories, and it turns out, top-secret. The Curse of Cortés pulls from the authors personal experiences in the Caribbean including a run-in with a Zeta cartel thug featured in Cortés.
