Editorial Reviews:

"Interface" ... is so unlike anything I've ever read before, and is a great mix of action, mystery, thriller, psychological suspense, and supernatural, all tied together with great writing and an intriguing plot. I was almost disappointed when it was over, but the ending was satisfying and leads us to believe that there will be more. Great characterization and pacing.
Karen Matthews-Indie Book Reviewers

I really enjoyed this book, and the concept of mind-mapping was definitely a new one for me. The characters were all interesting and well-written, and I appreciated the fact that the author wasn't afraid to take risks and think outside the box with this one (pardon the pun).
Jhonni Parker- Goodreads

I haven't read anything like that in a long time, if ever. For once it seemed like the characters were anything but the stock, ordinary typical hero/protag guys, but instead all had demons, motivations, secrets, and I don't want to focus too much on it, but I thought the mind-mapping aspect was pretty cool too. All came together to create a fresh-feeling novel that was out of the ordinary and kept me hooked throughout.
Darla Ortiz- Shelfari

Whoa, that was a totally unexpected, surreal, and surprising ride! The writing is very descriptive and we can picture everything perfectly, but not so overdone that it slows down the pace.
Kaylee Stevens-Indie Book Reviewers

It's not often that I'm surprised or even all that impressed with books, simply because I read so, so much ... "Interface" was a welcome departure from many derivative tropes overused in the sci-fi genre, but still felt familiar enough to be a comfortable experience.
Anabella Johnson-Shelfari

“From The Far Places” Explores Dramatic South Carolina History

Posted on September 15, 2015 by April Elkins | 0 Comments

South Carolina history and human drama combine in From the Far Places, the new novel by Dorothy K. Morris.

From the wilds of the Occaneechi Warriors' Path in the Carolina Piedmont, a lonely Monastery in far Northumbria, and a mansion in The Strand of London, a middle-aged man seeks his lost youth, a boy and girl help him find it, and a beautiful red stallion brings them all together. The combination of characters form a melting pot of cultures, class, languages, religions and personalities. In the historic South Carolina explored in this riveting novel, some of these differences blended while others created problems that could never be overcome.

From The Far Places is the seventh novel in the Mockingbird Series by Dorothy K. Morris. She was born in Charleston, South Carolina, a city her ancestors helped establish. She grew up struggling with the pain that still lingered from the residue of slavery and the Civil War. Morris enjoys genealogy due to her extensive family history and is a member of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, Who’s Who in America, and Who’s Who of American Women.

From The Far Places is available in softcover (ISBN 987-1-62137-751-1) and eBook (ISBN 978-1-62137-752-8) from Virtualbookworm.com, Amazon.com, and Barnesandnoble.com.
