Mark Morris became a full-time writer in 1988 on the Enterprise Allowance Scheme, and a year later saw the release of his first novel, Toady. He has since published a further sixteen novels, among which are Stitch, The Immaculate, The Secret of Anatomy, Fiddleback, The Deluge and four books in the popular Doctor Who range.

Mark Morris recommends

The Other Lives of Miss Emily White (2023)
A J Elwood
"Readers beware! The mystery at the heart of A.J. Elwood's latest eerie and elegant novel is so irresistibly tantalising that everyday commitments will fall by the wayside as you feel compelled to read 'just a few more pages', and then 'just a few more', in your bid to uncover the truth."
thumb
Witch Bottle (2020)
Tom Fletcher
"In my opinion Tom Fletcher is the most exciting new horror writer in years."
thumb
Eden (2020)
Tim Lebbon
"Eden is both the darkest of fairy tales & an uncompromising, often gruelling account of adaptation & survival... A relentless page-turner in which the planet bites back!"
