Kristof Morrow
Navy veteran, author of The Second Sun, and award-winning journalist living and working with crippling Tourette’s syndrome. I’m a veteran, author, and journalist who’s sold over 1200 copies of my debut book, “The Second Sun,” after going viral on TikTok in June. Growing up, I was the third born but the first to graduate high school. I was viciously abused me. They both have suffered from some form of addiction. I taught myself to write while serving in the US Navy as a Corpsman right after high school, and after leaving, I learned a University education wasn't for me, despite winning the highest award for short fiction and poetry at two different colleges in their annual creative writing contests. While living in Louisiana, a film director hired me to help complete his script, and got to work on a film set. I became an EMT around the age of 23, then a 911 dispatcher at 26 before earning, by audition, a job at a newspaper. I was 27 years old and won awards from two Texas Press Associations for feature writing and photography. Amidst this time and in earlier years, I would exchange letters with Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Robert Olen Butler. I later became sober from alcohol, as my Tourette’s manifested in a way I could no longer ignore and I spent five years battling worsening symptoms and not writing a word. Several dozen times a day, my ticks force me to slap, punch, and claw myself in the face.
