Dwight's biography
Dwight Norris is an author of novels, short stories, memoirs, and a long time ago, poetry. He believes that language is a tool for learning, inspiration, building courage, and changing a course of action. When a writer tells the story of an individual, he honors that person and shows respect for their life. He also allows other people to learn from their actions.
With writing, we preserve history, leave a legacy, and honor one another. Dwight believes that the most mundane aspects of life can be recorded with class and sophistication, and can even evoke joy and laughter. Dwight is the single father of two grown children, a daughter and a son. As of this writing he is privileged to be serving his seventh term as president of the California Writers Club, High Desert Branch.
