My own imprint is Joslin Books. My favourite titles on it are The Hare Trilogy and Out of the Mouths of Babes. However, my latest book, a reissue of Spirit of the Place, published by Writers Review Publishing ,is now available. A time-slip novel. The main character is the eighteenth-century poet Nicholas Fowler. He writers a lot of poetry but don’t bother looking him up in Wikipedia. I am at present working on the third book in The Ellen Trilogy (Ellen’s People, Divided Loyalties and Unfinished Business) and also playing a ‘cosy crime’ game with two other writers.

Norman George was born in Bangor, Northern Ireland, where he grew up during the height of the troubles. Although he is a retired IT network manager, his real passion is for natural sciences, having studied Genetics and Cell Biology, Geosciences and Astronomy at Manchester and Open Universities.

He spent over 20 years living on mainland Europe, and spent several years hosting a ski chalet, where he became chef, driver, tourist guide and barman. His fascination for natural sciences, complemented by observation of humanity’s cultural conflicts, terrorism and the impact of mankind on nature, inspired his first novel.

‘Who Writes the Rules?’ published in 2023 presents scientific ideas and the author’s concerns about the impact of human activity. The story of Mosse and Heelia’s relationship examines how of cultural differences conflicts with their instincts, while providing a vehicle for discussing natural science within the context of the plot.

Norman’s 2nd novel, ‘Divine Intervention’, was inspired by visits to Athens and Delos, where the temples to the Greek gods are now in ruins. How would Athena react if she saw the horde of tourists surrounding the Parthenon?

A 3rd thought-provoking book is currently being researched, to be published in 2027.

As a primary school French teacher, I couldn’t find anything written in simple French that brought what I was teaching in class together, so I started writing stories during the holidays. The boys that I taught were a tough audience to please, but they really enjoyed the stories, so I published them. That was twenty years ago. There are now 14 books in the Berthe the Witch French series, each on a different theme and, following requests from Spanish teachers, two titles have been translated into Spanish.

Each book contains a story, a word search, a game to play, a vocabulary list and, on the French books, there is a QR code which links to the stories being read – perfect if you’re not a confident French speaker. Junior Magazine included the series in an article on the ten best resources for learning a language. The latest book in the series is ‘Berthe A Perdu Son Chat. (Un Jeu de Cache-cache.)
