About the Author

Discover the fantastic world of Cowchip/AL and the RYO Corporation. Grab a free copy of MANAGEMENT DECISION and if you like it read my other hilarious Cowchip/AL tales! Norman E. Morrison (1955- ) is a born writer. He has lived the life of a writer, amassing a great deal of experiences through his various jobs. He has worked as a warehouseman unloading boxcars, he is a failed insurance salesman, a journeyman electrician, worked in television for a decade and a half, was a reluctant telephone operator, and an early Internet marketing entrepreneur. At one time he was a man of two continents, when he developed and sold Brazil travel packages with his start-up company. Always a man to study, log, and catalog the human species, Morrison has a great many stories to tell, often in a fantastical, humorous, satirical manner that puts his stranger than life characters in even stranger situations. WHY I DO COWCHIP and WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU I write my Cowchip Alabama stories in a humorous way to illustrate the very things that we as good people ought not to do. It is a sort of reverse logic that strives to entice the reader to do some of the work to get the point. For those who "get it" the tales really come alive. Some writers are strictly for the money, and these I dismiss. The ones who actually believe in the things they write, who have a story to tell gleaned from their experience or from their innermost feelings...These are the ones that I find worth reading. An example of a good story plus marketing is Harry Potter. First, it is a morality tale. The smart marketing came later. Mark Twain stories are an example of good tales succeeding even without good marketing. Of the two, the Twain stores are the ones that I, as a writer, would rather strive for. I love marketing. This note is a form of marketing. However, when I began my life's ambition to write my silly Cowchip tales I set marketing aside. I write because I have something to say...Not because I have something to sell. My greatest reward is in presenting a series of Cowchip adventures that gives my readers a fun, challenging experience, while at the same time teaching life's lessons in a humorous way. It's also a 50/50 split. I want my readers to have to dig a bit to discover the inner meanings in my stories. And finally, real success in my book, is having written a tale that makes a point the reader will remember long after. That is why I write. Best Wishes!
