Bruce Gonyea’s journey into writing began as a hobby 15 years ago, culminating in his first publication, The Tavern Files. His path to authorship took a distinctive turn following his medical retirement by the VA, an event that reshaped his perspective on life and its fleeting nature. Gonyea’s writing process is sparked by everyday anomalies that stir his curiosity, a method inspired by his admiration for Stephen King’s mastery of the suspense and horror genres.

Gonyea, who holds an Associate of Arts in Logistics, seamlessly blends his analytical skills with a creative flair, overcoming challenges like spelling with tools like spell check to refine his narrative. Beyond the pages, Bruce leads a balanced life, finding solace and inspiration in golf, cooking, camping, and traveling—passions that replenish his spirit and enrich his storytelling. His philosophy is simple yet profound: to live fully and savor each moment, a mantra that echoes through his writing and everyday life.
