Tonight's Traveler to God On The Rocks, is author, Michael Morris for a special showing of Robert Duvall's movie, The Apostle.  A lively discussion ensued over Mr. Duvall's passion project he wrote, directed and personally financed. We talked over a scotch on the rocks. Real talk about sin and retribution, fear and murder, faith and redemption.

Mr. Morris is A fifth-generation native  Floridian, and he knows Southern culture and characters. They are the foundation and inspiration for the stories and novels he writes.Michael is the author of the award winning novel, A Place Called Wiregrass, and Slow Way Home, which was named one of the best novels of the year by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Pat Conroy called Morris “one of my favorite Southern writers.”
 
Publishers Weekly named his latest novel, Man in the Blue Moon, a best book of the year calling the novel “a magical and mesmerizing page-turner…with overtones of Flannery O’Connor and the rural Florida backdrop of Their Eyes Were Watching God.” Man in the Blue Moon was also a top three recommended book club read by the independent booksellers association and won the Best Novel category from the Alabama Library Association.
