Norine's Story
Life
I attended Colo. State University and earned a degree in Biology in 1971. I attended Metro State University and earned a second degree in Education and became a biology teacher. After 20 years of teaching, I left to return to my real love, which is composing music. I bought into a recording studio in Denver and now my original music is licensed for web sights, commercials, film, etc... During all of this, I married Ken in 1971 and In 1979, our daughter, Nicole, was born. We have one grandaughter, Nalicia, 24 years old and a grandson, Mason, age 23. Ken retired from administrative positions and teaching after 30 years and after 12 years with the Federal Government, he retired. We started our dog kennel, Wholly Terrier Kennels, back in 1987 and bred A.K.C. Wire Fox Terriers for show and as pets. I still love horses and own a dark bay Appaloosa mare. I also have a deaf cat named TTL(pronounced Tittle). He does not come to the kitchen when I use the can opener like many cats, nor answers to here kitty kitty. We also have a Blue Dog Weimaraner. My vocal group, Angel Arc, released an album dedicated to fallen heroes and all military who have died. You can listen to and purchase this album, recorded at my studio. You can also stream on iTunes, Pandora , Apple Music or Spotify. My writing partner and I signed with a music supervising agency located...Expand for more
in L.A. to have our music licensed for movies. We are excited about this as we now have more exposure in the movie industry. We are contracted with a nation wide entertainment software distribution corporation for nation wide distribution. We converted to Digital for nationwide streaming and digital downloads on iTunes and Pandora or other playlists. We also signed with a media advertising agency. We will be releasing our next album in 2024. Flights of Fancy, which has music I and Park have written. I have become a senior partner with Askinelf Press a publishing Company established 1997. My Screenplays I have co-written with Ruben Perez (known by the media as the Lord of Discipline) and professional screenplay writer John B. Lane were accepted for a submission of one screenplay by the Colorado Office of Film, TV and media for a critique in April of 2016. Two of my screenplays, Battlefield High; Imminent Meltdown and
Battlefield High: The Ruben Perez Story, are accepted in the Socially Relevant Film Festival in New York, March 2018.
We entered the 2019 WIFMCO screenwriters contest and were one of the top three scripts chosen in the finalists division. We came in 3rd. in the contest. Results are given to Colorado Film for recognition plus a nice check which always helps.
I am busy with my music and family and enjoy what life has to offer.
