Only fools fall in love, and hell is filled with fools.
Lovers in Hell
A Heroes in Hell Anthology
created by Janet Morris
Genre:
Dark Fantasy Anthology
Only fools fall in love, and hell is filled with fools. Our
damned lovers include: Christopher Marlowe and Will Shakespeare, Napoleon and
Wellington, Orpheus and Eurydice, Hatshepsut and Senenmut, Abelard and Heloise,
Helen and Penelope, Saint Teresa and Satan's Reaper, Madge Kendall and the
Elephant Man, and more . . . -- all of whom pay a hellish price for indulging
their affections.
Shakespeare said "To be wise and love exceeds man's might," and in
Lovers in Hell, the damned in hell exceed all bounds as they search for their
true loves, punish the perfidious, and avoid getting caught up in Satan's
snares. In ten stories of misery and madness, hell's most loveless seek to
slake the thirst that can never be quenched, and find true love amid the lies
of ages.

What is something unique/quirky about you?
Together we breed Morgan horses. We consult with Morgan breeders to help them choose crosses to their stock to achieve a desired result.
We are also musicians; Janet plays bass guitar, Chris sings and plays guitar. We have an album on MCA records. Look for Christopher Crosby Morris on Soundcloud or N1M.com
Can you, for those who don't know you already, tell something about yourself and how you became an author?
Janet wrote her first novel, High Couch of Silistra in 1975; a friend sent it to an agent who chose to represent her; she had already written the second book in the Silistra Quartet and her agent told her not to disclose that until they finalized the contract for the first one. When the publisher learned of the others, Bantam Books bought the succeeding three. When the fourth book was published, the series already had four million copies in print. Suddenly Janet was a novelist specializing in environmental, gender, historical and political subjects. In the process, Chris started as her editor and ultimately a co-writer. Since then, she and Chris have co-authored many books.
Who is your hero and why?
Heraclitus of Ephesus, a pre-socratic philosopher, whose Cosmic Fragments foreshadow our knowledge of reality and how to perceive it. Among his precepts is the statement that change alone is unchanging. We’ve worked Heraclitus’ fragments in here and there throughout our books.
Which of your novels can you imagine being made into a movie?
All of them. We write cinematically, our books are vivid adventures we undertake without knowing the destination. I, the Sun, The Sacred Band, and Outpassage are particularly suited to film. The Threshold Series is a feast of opportunities for today’s special effects creators.
Advice to writers?
As for advice to writers, here is all we know: write the story you want to read. Start at the beginning, go to the end, and stop. Seriously. From start to finish you must inhabit the construct in a manner that makes the reader choose to continue; if we as writers can’t feel what it’s like being there, our readers can’t either. Close your eyes, look at your feet where they are standing on the story’s ground; tell us what you see. Tell us what you hear. Ask at the end of each paragraph ‘what happens next?’. If you lose touch with it wait until you’re back inside it. Tell the story that comes to you, and from you, to us.
