Once a teacher, theatre director and adjudicator, Brian Van Norman left those worlds to travel with his wife, Susan, and take up writing as a full time pursuit. He has journeyed to every continent and sailed nearly every sea on the planet. His base is Waterloo, Ontario, Canada though he is seldom found there. With three novels: "The Betrayal Path" his first, "Immortal Water" his next and "Against the Machine: Luddites" just released, each of which have received 5 star praise on Amazon and other venues, he continues his writing. His next novels will complete the trilogy of "Against the Machine...".
