Doug Norton draws on both experience and research to pen the Code Word Series. As a warship captain during the cold war Doug held launch codes for nuclear weapons and was prepared to use them, but he also participated in high-stakes international negotiations to reduce their numbers and the chance of nuclear war. In Geneva, Brussels, London, and Washington he experienced diplomacy and politics in tense meetings, glittering receptions, and deadline-driven all-nighters.

A graduate of the Naval Academy and of the University of Washington, Doug was a Council on Foreign Relations International Affairs Fellow and Director of International Studies at the Naval Academy. After serving more than twenty-five years, Captain Norton retired from the navy

Grocery checkout lines, waiting in elevators, barbershop or restaurant conversations. How would you describe what you see? How would you portray the conversations you hear?

Once you get it going, your own writing is like a friend who never makes demands, is never needy, is happy to be there for you whenever it fits your schedule, and is always ready to listen, whether it’s your heart speaking its truth or your ego being snarky.

Writing is one of the few things in life where the older you get, the greater your potential.

Writing is a gift you give yourself. And it’s one that just keeps on giving. That’s why you—yes you—should write. Don’t quit your day job yet, but add writing to your life!

“Human beings are perhaps never more frightening than when they are convinced beyond doubt that they are right.”
Laurens van der Post

Laurens van der Post
“The Bushmen in the Kalahari Desert talk about the two "hungers". There is the Great Hunger and there is the Little Hunger. The Little Hunger wants food for the belly; but the Great Hunger, the greatest hunger of all, is the hunger for meaning...
There is ultimately only one thing that makes human beings deeply and profoundly bitter, and that is to have thrust upon them a life without meaning.
There is nothing wrong in searching for happiness. But of far more comfort to the soul is something greater than happiness or unhappiness, and that is meaning. Because meaning transfigures all. Once what you are doing has for you meaning, it is irrelevant whether you're happy or unhappy. You are content - you are not alone in your Spirit - you belong.”
Laurens van der Post
