All but One

Born in 1940, Norman is a descendent of several of America's earliest families, arriving at Jamestown and the Virginia Colony from England and Scotland in 1607, 1611 and 1620. After service in the United States Marines, and a career in Strategic Planning and Economics, Norman set his efforts to writing. His creative historical novels focus on what really happened, how and where it happened, and who was involved. Such is discovered in All But One and other historical novels, published or soon to be published.Genealogical and archived fields, ripe with information, firsthand accounts and imagery, retained in libraries and governments vaults, provide rich sources of evidence for writing about ancestors, individuals and true events. Creative and culturally tuned dialogues bring history and people into view, immersing readers in the adventures and trials of lives and nations; events that befall renowned and relatively unknown people engaged in common purposes, be they a friend or enemy.Norman is related to several noteworthy people including Chief Oconostota of the Cherokee, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Gadsby Chapman, artist of the Baptism of Pocahontas. Norman resides on Fidalgo Island in the San Juan Islands of Washington, United States of America. He has written three novels, several short stories, and episode series titled Life in the Cabbage Patch and is presently engaged in research for two additional novels.
