The Thompson family cannot avoid Old Norm. He is wealthy, brash, insulting, and occasionally ostentatiously generous. Most people ignore his conduct. The Thompson's cannot. The story winds its way through war, a wedding, a funeral, an out-of-the-way tavern, a small college, and an undiscovered crime. The family's youngest son narrates. As he matures, he watches family members contend with Old Norm's persistent insolence, while he learns that people are connected in ways that are hard to imagine.

About Tim Brown (Overland Park, Kansas Author)

Tim Brown

I learned the value of words as an advertising copywriter and creative director. Business communication was challenging and rewarding. Storytelling is more fun. Old Norm is my first novel, and is influenced by my childhood years in small-town Nebraska.

I earned a BA in journalism from the University of Nebraska and an MS in mass communications from Denver University. Between degrees, I served as an Army journalist in South Vietnam.

Today, I live in Overland Park, Kansas with my wife of nearly 50 years.
