On In Short Order, Sue Vogan will interview Lupus victim and author, Marrilyn Celeste Morris
Added: (Tue Apr 04 2006)
On IN SHORT ORDER, Thursday, April 6th at 9:00PM, Sue Vogan will be speaking with Marilyn Celeste Morris, co-facilitator for the Fort Worth Lupus Support Group, North Texas Chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America and member of the Board of Directors.
Although she was raised as a military brat, Marilyn Celeste Morris was born in her grandfather’s house in Toronto, Texas, a small Southern Pacific Railroad Section six miles west of Alpine. Perhaps as an omen of what would be the next twenty years of her life, the railroad’s abandonment of this settlement shortly afterward left her with no “permanent” home.
Schooling consisted of dependents’ schools while overseas, in Seoul Korea and Austria, and various schools stateside. A rarity for a military brat, she was fortunate enough to have attended all three high school years and graduated at Lawton Senior High School, Lawton OK. Further education was attained at Cameron State College, Lawton OK, Tarrant County College, Fort Worth TX, and North Texas State University. She received an AAS Degree in Mental Health in 1995.
After studying under the late Grace Nies Fletcher, author of "Merry Widow" and "In My Father’s House," Marilyn began her writing career as a guest columnist in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and for ten years wrote a weekly humor/human interest column for Suburban Newspapers in the Fort Worth TX area.
She has taught creative writing at Tarrant County College, Fort Worth TX, survived numerous book signings and speaking engagements, and is credited with two novels, "Sabbath’s Room" and "Once a Brat." Her newest book, "Diagnosis: Lupus, The Intimate Journal of a Lupus Patient," chronicles her intensive three-year, five-doctor search for diagnosis and treatment of her baffling symptoms, her struggles with God and society. Ms. Morris’s intent is to inform and validate other lupus patients, both diagnosed and still searching, and to let them know that they are not alone.
