About the Book

NFL hopeful Rodney Morgan was on the verge of having it all until he refused to do the bidding of a dangerous mob boss named, Genco Giuseppe.  Bent on making an example of Rodney his henchmen cause a deadly accident that robs him of his future in professional sports and claims the lives of his wife and unborn child. Broken and running for his life Rodney is contemplating suicide until he meets a football coach in Sunbury Georgia that changes his life.

 

What is Swarm?
The Swarm is an original idea that came to me one day on the way to work while I was in Saudi Arabia. It was a vision of a football team coming out of a tunnel and entering a very harsh environment that’s all I saw. With no previous writing experience I taught myself how to formulate my idea into what it is today.

 

What is it about?

Swarm is about a lot of things. Being considered an underdog is one of them. You have a Football team, who in their own rights, are dominate but are considered underdogs when matched up against teams that have national recognition. A second chance is another great way to describe it. The main character named Rodney Morgan, named after a good friend of mine but no true relation, is put in a situation where the world could be at his finger tips. And in an instant, it’s all gone which leaves him broken to the point where suicide feels like the only option left in his life that makes sense. This story is about redemption and hard work. That’s what it takes for our main character to prove to others and more importantly himself that his life matters and that he has a purpose to strive for again. 

 


About the Author

My name is Norman Harris Jr, but I like to go by Jr because, it’s simple and easy to remember, and I am the creator of this body of work. I’m a married man and also the father of two wonderful daughters. After graduating From Liberty County high school I enlisted in the United States Air force and served my full enlistment and separated with an honorable discharge. Since then I have made my living as an overseas contractor. As far as my writing experience goes I have none. I was accepted into a film school for writing and directing but I was forced to put it on hold.

What I have is a true gift that can’t be taught, as I said before the person who invest their time in me can ride my ideas all the way to the top because that’s the only place I’m going!

The Swarm is not my best work, it was only my first that made me believe that I could do it………….
