Meet Latrell R. Morris
Tell us a little about yourself.
I was born and raised in South Florida. I’ve been writing since I was a little girl. As of 2021, I have self-published ten books with more on the way.
What inspired you to start writing?
I wanted to create characters and worlds unlike the people and world around me.
Did you choose traditional, indie, or hybrid publishing? Why?
Indie because I wanted full creative control. I wanted my voice in the books. Being an indie author allowed me to control the process and not be restricted by deadlines. Sometimes books can take a month; sometimes years.
Where do your story ideas usually come from?
I always say I can get inspired by just about anything. A lot of my stories have to do with real-life problems or situations which I turn on their heads. For example, The Friend Trilogy has to do with a loneliness epidemic. And my soon to be released book, Namara: The Mother, has to do with the declining birth rates.
Which of your characters do you relate to the most?
I would say Lina from The Making of a Friend.
Which of your books is your favorite and why?
Nova: The Executioner of Justice. It was the first book I published, and Nova has been my favorite character. She’s a supernatural being that does whatever she wants in her own way. Writing that book allowed me to get out a lot of frustrations I had at the time.
Why did you choose to write in your current genre?
I choose to write in horror because I have been a huge horror buff since I was young. I think horror allows for a lot of outrageous things to happen. For science fiction, it came down to my love for astronomy and aliens.
What book changed your life?
All About Love by bell hooks.
What do you do when you're not writing?
Crocheting, discovering new placing to go in my area, painting, reading, and playing video games.
How do you connect with your readers?
Trying to talk to them on a personal level. Allowing them to get to know the woman behind the pen.
What would you like to say to your readers?
Thank you for your support. Every share, like, comment, purchase, review, etc. is greatly appreciated.

Featured Book:
Two years was all it took for the birth of viable babies to reach zero percent. Sixty-four percent of births resulted in infant mortality, while the rest were born with incurable conditions and diseases that would become fatal by adulthood. The world is in panic, and doctors have no cure. Yet there is an alternative.
Dr. Tanya Washington has witnessed over half of the infants born in her care do not make it past their first breath. Sad and without answers, she’s approached by a stranger promising a cure that will guarantee that one hundred percent of the babies born will be healthy. But how can she trust him?
On the other side, Mae Williams takes another path. The artificial womb system introduced by Bioutero Pharmaceuticals promises a normal baby to parents who cannot have their own or are too scared to try. Leaving the development of her child in A.I. hands, things go awry when unforeseen anomalies occur that the company can’t stop.
