Cliff Jones Releases NORVIS

In his stunning literary debut, author Cliff Jones weaves together vibrant illustrations, richly drawn characters and a deeply moving narrative. Filled with lessons on life, family, hope, dealing with change and destiny, Norvis follows the journey of a young boy determined to find his place in the circle of life.

Set in Central Texas and inspired by the author's own small-town upbringing, Norvis follows the adventures of the titular character, a nine-year-old boy. Norvis's experiences encapsulate the woes and joys of growing up in a world engulfed by change. Jones, the gifted narrator, guides readers through lush farmlands, dense forests, encounters with forces of nature and sacred entities and finally to the unforgettable conclusion of Norvis's life-changing journey.

Heralding the arrival of a gifted new literary voice, Norvis is at once a brilliantly wrought tale of a boy's coming-of-age under extraordinary circumstances and a universal story of mankind's perennial quest for purpose.
