Profile Information
- My Bio
- Norman Applegate is an author and consultant, with a growing body of work to his credit. Born in Glasgow Scotland, growing up in Canada and now residing in Sarasota Florida with his wife Cheryl, Norm Applegate works and travels for an international consulting company, then occasionally scares the “heck” out of his family with his thoughts and writings.
Norm’s writing began as a need to communicate to his wife and family while travelling through New Zealand and Australia as a Hypno-therapist. These colorful letters dominated by unusual tales as a hypnotist seemed to follow a pattern of the unexplained.
His early years in Toronto were filled with aspirations of the late 60’s Yorkville hippie music scene, and as a drummer in numerous bands led to a short lived career playing the bars and clubs in the Toronto area. The band Photograph, signed to a recording studio, made some noise on the coast to coast CBC radio show, the Entertainers, and after the legal issues strangled them into submission, they went their separate ways. The life of drugs, sex and rock and roll were over, sad but true.
The following years, Norm managed a gym, became an electrician, and moved to the USA, to attend the University Of South Florida and graduated with a degree in Microbiology. His first job out of college was to work on a government funded program studying the feline leukaemia virus as a model for HIV. Before he began, the funding was cut, Norm was unemployed.
Entering the world of business, Norm became a consultant for a folding carton and corrugated Box Company in Tampa. The moment that changed his life was accepting an offer from one of his clients to be trained as a Hypnotist and travel the world. If you can believe it, he initially said no. This is where it pays to marry a smart woman; Cheryl saw the opportunity and persuaded him, and it became the job that changed his life.
After a few years of travel, he had the bug, and entered the world of management consulting to become a road warrior, and is now a 2 million miler with Delta. Away from home, and with the desire to write a novel it began. His first book, “Into the Basement,” is a raw, dark thriller.
His second novel of the Kim Bennett series, “Into the Spell,” is about a copy cat Son of Sam killer and hypnosis...
Early 2008, Norm will have a short story called “Jumpers,” that has a Twilight Zone feel to it in the horror anthology “From the Shadows,” with featured international horror author Nicholas Grabowski.
Norm is currently working on his third novel in the Kim Bennett series, “Blood Bar,” scheduled for release by the spring of 08. As Kim Bennett would say, “Don’t be stupid, vampires aren’t real.”
Also, Triad Studios will be releasing Norman Applegate's screenplay of his novel "Into the Basement," a horror movie in 2009.
