Influences

Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Isaac Asimov, Carl Sagan, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, and many others. He doesn’t write like them; he writes like him, but these are among the people he never met who taught him to do so.

What people are saying about his books:

• “it’s laugh-out-loud funny…the grammar is refreshingly precise and the vocabulary, well, scrumptious” ~ Maria T. Violante “Write, Read, Review” on The Warden Threat
• “…shows the influence of Terry Pratchett in style and current events in the overall plot. The book is easy to read, but hardly simplistic…Occasionally laugh out loud funny.” ~ Review by M. A. Goethe “Margaret” on The Warden Threat
• My favorite element was the development of Donald’s character as he undergoes the hero’s journey – I look forward to seeing what other adventures he will face with his friends.” ~ P.H.C. Marchesi on The Warden Threat
• “It passed my 5-star test, which means I would pick it up and read it again…. I loved the characters…. This book pokes fun at just about everything. Not only at your typical fantasy adventure story.” ~ wilovebooks Reviews on The Warden Threat
• “It’s a skillfully executed work by a talented author with a unique voice.” ~ Tahlia Newland on The Warden Threat
• “D.L. really makes a world you can believe in with his writing. …the story is so engaging and plausible that I really felt like it could have happened.” ~ Kate Policani on The Warden War
• “The Warden War’ sucked me in … and I really cared about the characters and what happens next. For me, the success of a novel is driven by the story and ‘The Warden War’ is a great story! I highly recommend this to any reader who enjoys SciFi or Fantasy. I can’t wait for his next book. ~ Gary Clarke
• This somewhat quirky, somewhat light sci-fi/fantasy story was just what I was looking for. The characters were interesting and believable, and it made for a really fun, well-written, well-edited book. … I hope there is another book to follow. ~ SamanthaSSJ on Defying Fate
• I loved Amy’s Pendant … Morrese’s humor and little hints of levity that made the Warden series so compelling continue in this novel. ~ Rabid Readers Too review of Amy’s Pendant
• “…written levels above the average book on the market today. Certainly books to entertain and to make the reader THINK and laugh.” ~ Don Livesay
• There is a whimsy in the way Morrese writes that could be called light fantasy. His work is infused with humor and intelligence and general good fun for the reader. I am a big fan of Douglas Adams and Jasper Fforde…. Morrese writes with the same spirit as these authors. ~ Rabid Readers review of Disturbing Clockwork
