Scott Russell Morris is a writer & enthusiast. He’s a mixed-media artist, a zinester, and a foodie. He's a native of Southern California but can navigate the streets of Utah better. He owns a home in Texas and lives in South Korea, where he is an Associate Professor of Writing and Rhetoric at the University of Utah Asia Campus. He is the creator and editor of Magpie Zines. He's either kinda straight for a queer guy or super queer for a straight man. With his wife, Kirsten, he has two children. He enjoys spicy food and can't say no to ice cream. He earned a PhD in English from Texas Tech University and an MFA in Creative Writing from Brigham Young University. No one has ever asked him who watches the children while he is at work. As a teenager, a friend nicknamed him “Skoticus” and since then Skoticus has been the calling card for his creative persona. He owns more than two hundred board games and collects t-shirts with squirrels on them.
