Robert Norris

Norris began flying as a youth and at the age of seventeen was heralded by the media as the nation’s youngest licensed pilot. He became a flight instructor and taught flying while a senior in high school. A native Texan, Norris attended the University of Houston and was hired as a pilot by Delta Airlines in 1962.

During his thirty-four year career with the airline Norris crossed both the North Pole and the Equator on numerous occasions and compiled almost five hundred crossings of the Atlantic and Pacific combined. He served a two-year term as chairman of the Delta division of the Airline Pilots Association. He is a graduate of the University of Southern California’s Aircraft Accident Investigation School and has published technical articles (aviation) in local and national magazines.

After his children were grown, Norris and his wife sailed their forty-five-foot sailboat to many of the popular Caribbean destinations. Five years ago, they moved to the beautiful Texas Hill Country where he joined the Kerrville Writers Association, a writers critique group. He is presently serving as vice president of the association.

A graduate of a citizens police academy, Norris writes fiction in the crime and thriller genres. His debut novel, The Barrett Solution, is the first in a series of Texas-based thrillers. Set in the Houston/Conroe area, this fast-paced thriller is an action-packed adventure of international intrigue involving a CIA black operation, a White House cover-up, and a Texas detective who’s determined to see justice done.
