Author Bio:
Norris (as he commonly goes by) is a man of many adventures himself. From hiking in the New Mexican High Desert to climbing Mount Fuji in Japan to diving off the Australian Great Barrier Reef, and many more to tell some other time, he has garnered a love of adventuring and traveling. But his greatest adventure (and gift from above) has been marrying the love of his life and becoming a father. It is this shared adventure that partly inspired him to begin writing this series.
Though not an avid reader, he does credit several authors who have inspired his writing style: J.R.R. Tolkien; C.S. Lewis; Brian Jacques; Terry Pratchett; and Susan Cooper, to name a few. Although he has tinkered with several manuscripts, short stories, and poems off and on for years, it was after kissing the Blarney Stone that this story about Jack Wartnose finally clicked something inside him to finish to the end.
