Rick Norman
Rick Norman is a business attorney practicing in Lake Charles, Louisiana. USA Today called Rick "a master storyteller" and Rick himself concedes he became an attorney so that he could be paid for exaggerating.
His debut novel, the August House release Fielder's Choice, received rave reviews. Amorak Huey wrote in Southern Living: "It has earned that spot on my bookshelf reserved for the most memorable baseball books, right next to the likes of Mark Harris' classic Bang the Drum Slowly.
Fielders Choice is widely used as course material in colleges and high schools. Norman's screenplay for Fielder's Choice won the 2001 Square Magazine Screenwriting Award.
Cross Body Block, Norman's second novel, was also well received by reviewers. The "Voice of Youth Advocacy" stated: "A sequel to Fielder's Choice, this novel stands on its own merits...Compelling messages about grief, violence and personal redemption will recommend this to a wide audience..."
For years Rick was a regular contributor to National Public Radio's weekly sports show "Only a Game." His commentaries and skits can still be accessed on WBUR's webpage.
Rick has also written several treatises on commercial law, his latest on employment law was published in 2005. Rick also paints and his paintings adorn many Louisiana law offices.
