  • WARNING: Due to Tourette's Syndrome, this file was not edited, so you could hear the frustration of connecting with someone with this condition. It is a co-morbid condition with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders. Mr. Morrow does not use profanity, which is sometimes associated with this disorder.

    Mr. Morrow shares his remarkable journey of overcoming adversity to write "The Second Sun," an epic fantasy novel animated by hundreds of distinct characters across half the world. Discover how Kristof's experiences with Tourette's have shaped his writing and fueled his determination to create a work of literature that wears the suit of epic fantasy.

    It breaks my heart for people suffering from this condition. Consider elementary school kids who do not have the mental capacity to understand themselves. Despite his challenges, Mr. Morrow is a successful novelist.
