Kristof Morrow is an author and award-winning journalist. Second Sun Insights is the title of this episode. Kristof taught himself to write while serving in the military and later won two awards from Texas Press Associations. His debut book is called The Second Sun: Volumes I & II, and he contends the work is not only epic fantasy but also literature, seeking to uncover or elaborate on truths long felt and long considered. Kristof believes in Steinbeck's philosophy that ‘my whole mission as a writer is to help people understand one another.’

• Well,  I was bullied pretty relentlessly, even in school, because I have a pretty severe case I think, of ADHD.  So that did not enable me to make friends my own age. And so when I was in school, I had a lot of difficulty cooperating with kids my own age.
