About the Author

Scientist, Nuclear EQ Engineer, Sacred Cow Whisperer

D. Brian Morris is what happens when a curious kid grows up, survives corporate America, and decides the universe owes him answers—or at least a good laugh. An ex-atheist turned Christian with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry, working as a nuclear equipment qualification engineer, and a lifelong hobby of giving sacred cows anxiety attacks, Morris writes at the intersection of "Wait… how does that even make sense?" and "Somebody should probably be offended by this."

As a subject matter expert in one of the most arcane and nerve-wracking corners of nuclear science, Morris spends his days ensuring the world doesn’t melt down and his nights wondering why anyone thinks entropy favors order. He’s spent decades in technical disciplines where things must make sense; so naturally, the moment they don’t, he writes a book about it.

When he’s not safeguarding humanity from electrical gremlins and nuclear nightmares, Morris can be found riding motorcycles, taking pictures, binge-watching documentaries, or arguing with his dog about metaphysics. The dog usually wins.

Crossing the God Line is his literary love letter to the brain cramps caused by science, faith, and the deeply unsettling suspicion that maybe we’re not as smart as we think. It’s his cheeky, cerebral response to the weird tension between what we believe, what we observe, and what Frankenstein apparently understood better than Darwin. Equal parts philosopher, comedian, and fed-up nuclear physicist, Morris invites readers to interrogate life’s biggest assumptions with the same level of scrutiny he applies to nuclear systems—only with more jokes and fewer regulatory audits.

He lives in Florida, where the humidity is high, lightning is frequent, and existential dread is served with a margarita and a slice of Key Lime pie!
