A.R. NORRIS

Napa, California


I live in Northern California with my husband where we keep busy raising four little aliens. When I'm not working my day job as a Project Manager, I'm busy writing and pushing my imagination beyond what the scientists of today say is possible. Having a lifelong love for science fiction, I'm enjoying my journey to become an established author...and anxiously waiting for a confirmed UFO sighting.
