Jonathan Morris (author)

Jonathan Morris was born in Taunton England in 1973. He is an author principally known for writing various kinds of "Doctor Who" spin-off material. His often comedic style is sometimes evocative of Douglas Adams.Fact|date=May 2008

His path to prominence in writing professional "Doctor Who" fiction was notable in part because he was commissioned to write a novel after only his first attempt under the BBC's "Open Submission" policy. [http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/cult/news/drwho/2004/08/10/13651.shtml]

He has written for the Eighth Doctor Adventures and Past Doctor Adventures. He has also written for Big Finish Productions' range of audio and printed material. Among his "Doctor Who" literary credits are short stories in the Big Finish Short Trips anthologies; the novels "Festival of Death", "Anachrophobia", and "The Tomorrow Windows"; and the audio adventures, "Bloodtide", "Flip-Flop" and The Haunting of Thomas Brewster. "Festival of Death" received 2000's "Best Past Doctor Novel" award from the readers of "Doctor Who Magazine". Morris contributed "The Clanging Chimes of Doom" to ', "Lant Land" to ', "The Thief of Sherwood" to ', and "Mauritz" to '. His debut novel, "Festival of Death", was placed seventh in the Top 10 of SFX magazine's "Best SF/Fantasy novelisation or TV tie-in novel" category of 2000.

In 2005, he wrote the narration script for the documentary Paris in the Springtime, a homage to Douglas Adams' work on Doctor Who, which was included in the BBC DVD release of the serial City of Death.

In addition to his "Doctor Who" work, he has also written for Big Finish's "Judge Dredd" range, contributing the title, "I Love Judge Dredd". For the "Bernice Summerfield" series of anthologies he has contributed the short stories "The Spartacus Syndrome" (in "A Life of Surprises") and "The Traitors" (in "Life During Wartime").

He was also the manager of the Erasure Information Service from 1997 until 2003, when he handed over to Greg Hudson.
