Once a teacher, theatre director and adjudicator, Brian Van Norman left those worlds behind to travel the planet with his wife, Susan, and take up writing as a full time pursuit. With three novels currently on the market: THE BETRAYAL PATH, Immortal Water and his latest, Against the Machine: LUDDITES, he is in the midst of writing a sequel titled AGAINST THE MACHINE: MANIFESTO, and is currently researching a third book for the trilogy. 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 but for this year of the covid pandemic.
