About the author

When not traveling, taking photographs, and playing tennis, Bruce writes mysteries in which the reader gets a fair chance to deduce whodunit before the sleuth does. Not a surprise. He grew up consuming the great whodunit writers such as Agatha Christie and Ellery Queen, and his favorite, Raymond Chandler. He read his grandfather’s entire collection of 100 falling-apart paperbacks by Erle Stanley Gardner of Perry Mason fame, a collection he still has, much to his wife’s dismay.

His latest mystery, The Big Dive, was released in 2019. He recently rereleased his award-winning Rope Burn with a new cover https://amzn.to/3u44jym, and will be releasing a new mystery, No Time for Murder, later in 2022.
