About the author

Paul Norris is a writer, educationalist and amateur adventurer.  When he isn't creating stories, or devising new ways to teach maths, he might well be found diving on a barracuda infested shipwreck or competing in an international fencing tournament.

 

After studying English Literature at Cambridge University he stumbled into being a teacher pretty much by accident. Having decided to stick with it, he now tries to make his teaching as lively and engaging as the regulations permit. It was out of his work in education that Ocean Ranger One was born. He recently completed a Master of Arts degree in education to further develop his professional practice.

 

in addition to writing stories for children, he also produces educational material and writes adult fiction under a pseudonym.

 

He currently lives in Norfolk with his lovely wife, Claire, and a black labrador called Barney.
