Samuel L Norman was born in St Peter Port, on the island of Guernsey. He grew up in the south of England, attending school in Wales and then went on to study History and Religious Studies at Lancaster University. Samuel then completed his teacher training and became a Religious Studies teacher at a secondary school in Portsmouth.


Samuel first began writing the character of Grant McKingsley as a way of going on an adventure that he passionately dreamt of while still a student. Over time Grant became much more than an alter-ego and eventually arrived as the legendary adventurer that is soon to be the centre of many world-wide adventures.

“Sometimes the more you try to focus on something, the less you really see it's beauty.
- Burnum (Aboriginal Guide)”
Samuel L. Norman, The Adventures of Grant McKingsley and The Secret of the Phoenix

“We make history every day, Professor. The question is whether or not you'll be remembered for it.

Grant McKingsley”
Samuel L. Norman, The Adventures of Grant McKingsley and The Secret of the Phoenix

“History belongs to the dead... Discovery belongs to the Living.

(Professor Alistair Dawkins)”
Samuel L. Norman, The Adventures of Grant McKingsley and The Secret of the Phoenix

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”
J.R.R. Tolkien

“We make history every day, Professor. The question is whether or not you'll be remembered for it.

Grant McKingsley”
Samuel L. Norman, The Adventures of Grant McKingsley and The Secret of the Phoenix

“Sometimes the more you try to focus on something, the less you really see it's beauty.
