About the author

J.P. Bowie was born and raised in Aberdeen, Scotland. He wrote his first (unpublished) novel – a science fiction tale of brawny men and brawnier women that made him a little suspect in the eyes of his family for a while.

Leaving home at age eighteen for the bright lights of London, he found himself in the midst of a “diverse and creative crowd” that eventually led him to the performing arts. For the next twelve years he sang, danced and acted his way around the theatres of London and the provinces, appearing in shows with many famous British singers, actors and comedians.

After immigrating to the US and living for many years in Las Vegas where he worked for that incomparable duo, Siegfried and Roy, J.P. found himself entranced by the fair city of San Diego where he currently lives with his partner, Phil.

J.P. loves to hear from his readers and can be contacted at jpbowie@cox.net

Reviews

[Maureen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Young school kids and a bully with wealthy parents who have sway, and then there's one young boy, who fights for safety and awareness. This was a wonderful read, even with the unpleasant bully and his hanger-on's. One young man was his favorite target, and then suddenly he was gone.
For anyone a wee bit concerned about how graphic the bulling scenes may be, it's very briefly described.
