Writing

Norina writes imaginative fiction with humor and heart. She's currently working on Pipsequatl the Awakener, an illustrated novel about a psychic cat on a mission to liberate Earth. She's an Oregon Literary Arts Fellow and recipient of a Regional Arts & Culture Council grant for storytelling.

Live Storytelling

Norina has performed for audiences large and small at libraries, community centers, and festivals, locally and internationally. Her most recent project, Accordion Time Travel combines storytelling, music, and inter dimensional travel to reinvent the stories we tell about ourselves and our world.

Books for What Ails You

Norina is the creator of Books for What Ails You, an interactive pharmacopeia offering literary medicine for everything from old age to heartbreak. Part book review, part personal narrative, it's a place to find retreat, respite and inspiration in the face of heartache, uncertainty, melancholy and other maladies of the human heart.
