edit data

Bruce Jacobs grew up as an Air Force “brat” and had the privilege of living in several different countries, including England, Germany, Norway, and the United States. He is the husband of an amazing woman and father to four rambunctious boys who refuse to stop growing up. When he’s not writing stories, Bruce enjoys playing pickleball, tending his flock of backyard chickens, watching movies, and of course, reading. He shamefully admits to being a lapsed beekeeper but hopes to resume the practice soon. Bruce mostly lives inside his imagination but has often been spotted in northern Utah.
