About the Author

 

 

Now 88, Norman Ober tells the touching true love story that his late wife's death never ended. He finished the book thirteen years after Anita's channeled letters began.  Meeting deadlines all his professional life, now retired, he decided to give "Anita's Heaven" as much time it needed - and did.

 

The Introduction and  flashbacks in italics tell Anita and Norman's stories, how she changed him in afterlife from an atheist to a deist -- and how her channeled letters in time stirred, exposed and uprooted a hatred simmering in him since boyhood.

 

He says “the only bad thing Anita ever did in our 47 year marriage was to die of cancer in 1990. This is her book, based on over 3000 letters from heaven. Learn about our continuing love story, an entirely true account of the life she privileged me to have and the awesome afterlife she shares with me to this day. "Anita’s Heaven," describes a fabulous realm of love, pleasure, everyday miracles and everyday activity between lives in a place where neither hatred nor castles in the air exist."           

 

Norman began work at twelve in Boston, delivering Sunday papers by bike, writing for “The Latin School Register,” acting in school productions and later directing and acting in stage plays, portraying mostly villains with a group of adult actors who adapted popular plays and books for presentation on WEEI, Boston. 

           

After moving to New York City, his first professional job was puppeteer-actor-writer with a road show.  When he met Anita, love at first sight.prompted him to give up marionettes for Manhattan to be near Anita. Having learned to speak in dialects and change his voice for marionette characters, he brought the knack to network radio and hung on until World War II, when he entered the Navy and married Anita. Three years later, the birth throes of television, where every voice had to come from a different face, turned him from acting to writing network radio dramas and magazine fiction and articles.

           

His first postwar job was writing broadcast promotion at WCBS Radio.  He moved up the ladder in twenty five years at CBS, then held executive positions with Polygram, Olympus Camera and other organizations.
