Harry Morris...
Harry served for thirty years
as a police officer in various departments throughout
Glasgow and the Strathclyde Police region before retiring during 2001.
During his working life with the Glasgow and Strathclyde
Forces, Harry
being an 'observer of life' would write about many
of the characters he encountered and the funny stories that surrounded
them. His observations and stories were then
used to brighten up the police internal newsletter under
his 'Morris Motorcycle News' magazine section.
Making people
laugh was soon to become Harry's real passion, which in
turn was to be the catalyst for the popular 'Harry the
Polis' series of short stories as told in his highly successful, hilariously
funny books.
Harry
Morris, author...
Now an established writer/author with nine published books to his credit, and with a full length novel
titled; 'Born Tae Be Wide,' centered around his native
Glasgow due for
publication late 2011, Harry continues to be passionate
about his writing.
Harry Morris, storyteller...
"Listening to Harry talk is a bit like watching Billy Connolly do stand-up but without the swearing.
This is a man born for the role, to be an entertainer, and it isn't surprising to find that he
once performed in a
band. He is the epitome of the convivial man in the pub, an author of tall tales and modern folk stories,
utilising typically Glaswegian language and humour."
- Nicola Johnston, Strathclyde Uni.
