    Rocket is also an accomplished author, having published a book about his involvement in the Vancouver music scene called Rocket Norton: Lost In Space. He has also written four other books including two novels titled Live Love Die and He Was More Than He Seemed, a textbook titled, The Real All-Star Baseball Team of the Twentieth Century (By The Numbers) and a guide titled, A Guide for Men Who Are Getting Married Or Wish To Stay Married.

    Another of Rocket's proud achievements is a rock-opera called Visions: Mission Andromeda that was recorded with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and performed at the Vancouver Planetarium for many shows.
