About the author
Born in California on January 27, 1888, Norman Springer was an American novelist and screenwriter whose work leaned toward fast-moving adventure. His fiction reached readers in the 1920s and beyond, and several of his books have remained accessible through Project Gutenberg, including The Blood Ship and Fire Mountain.
Springer also worked in film, receiving writing credits on movies from the late 1920s and 1930s such as Submarine, So This Is Love, and A Scream in the Night. That mix of popular fiction and screen storytelling gives his work an energetic, visual quality that still suits audiobook listening well.
He died in Los Angeles County, California, on October 24, 1974. Reliable biographical details about his personal life are limited in the sources I found, so this overview focuses on the writing and film work that can be confirmed.
