edit data

Bruce Perrin has been writing for more than 20 years, although you will find most of that work only in professional technical journals or conference proceedings. But, after completing a PhD in Industrial Psychology and a career in psychological R&D, he is now applying his background and fascination with technology and the human mind to writing novels. Besides writing, Bruce likes to tinker with home automation and is an avid hiker, logging nearly 2,500 miles each year in the first two years of Fitbit ownership. When he is not on the trails, he lives with his wife in St. Louis, MO. For a closer look at his writing life, book reviews, and progress on his upcoming works, please join him at www.brucemperrin.blogspot.com. ...more

Quotes by Bruce M. Perrin (?)

“It was in the 1930s when psychologists found that people tend to forget details that don’t fit their concepts about the world, their schema, while other aspects of their recollection may be exaggerated to become more consistent.”
― Bruce M. Perrin, Killer in the Retroscape: A Near-Future Mystery
