Kerri K. Morris
I am a writing professor who lives in the suburbs south of Chicago. I've lived my life in the deserts and mountains of New Mexico, the tundra of Alaska, and, now, in Chicagoland. If I could have lived a different life, I would have chosen to be taller and to play point guard for Pat Summitt's Lady Vols. Instead I've gotten to live my life as a writer and reader, a teacher and student, a cook and a bike rider with my husband, daughter, two cats and a dog. If you'd like to get in touch, please email me at morris.kerri@gmail.com
