For twenty years, John Morton has ghost-written for the CEOs of some of the world's highest-profile companies. From 1995 to 2013, through a period of unprecedented tumult (multiple plane crashes, strikes, terror attacks, three changes in CEO, mergers, bankruptcy), he wrote speeches, magazine columns and more for the top executives of American Airlines. In 2013, Morton's script 35 South won Best Screenplay at the California Film Awards and was a finalist in two other contests. Morton subsequently turned the screenplay into the novella The Elephant on Sixth Street, which is for sale here at Amazon. Morton earned a BA from Georgetown University and a MBA from the University of Virginia. He and his family live in Austin, Texas.
