About the author
Bruce W. Perry
45 books22 followersI'm a big fan of good stories, and sharing them. I've been reading a lot since I was a towheaded kid, growing up in a small town with a reading and writing tradition called Concord, Massachusetts. Our house was about a half mile from Walden Pond. That didn't make me a better writer by osmosis, but it darn sure made me a reader! I was the kid sitting under a tree, head buried in a book. I read every hardcover and paperback I could get my hands on.
A family friend gave me anthologies of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells when I was in the third grade. They encompassed the first adult narratives and science fiction I had read. They were hardcover, heavy, and I couldn't put them down, until I had to put them down, because they were heavy.
I tend to read and write in several genres, mostly science fiction/dystopian, adventure, thriller, and detective, but I've written stories that don't really fall into either of those categories, as in the war romance Accidental Exiles or the satire Lost Young Love.
In my work life I've been a trade newsletter writer and a software engineer, as well as a landscaper and a really bad waiter. I've also written non-fiction books on fitness and software, including Fitness For Geeks.
When I'm not writing, I'm a nomad. I love to travel. I prefer writing outside with a pen, legal pad, and a nice view.

A plane crash into the side of a mountain; holy cow, what a way to begin. These are the trials and tribulations of the survivors of said plane crash. I only hope I would have the fortitude to withstand the perils this group faced. I enjoyed the telling of this story and the ending, especially!!
