Where to find me when:
February 5-8, 2025 – Superstars Writing Conference, Colorado Springs, CO
May 1-4, 2025 – Pikes Peak Writers Conference, Colorado Springs, CO
This is the place to check out Bowen’s happening writing and writing happenings.
Bowen didn’t look to be a writer, but writing found him anyway. Since publishing his first offbeat short story in Allegory e-zine, Bowen has won awards for his work and continues to find homes for his quirky tales, boldly told.
Bowen’s stories are for fun-seekers, thrill-seekers, and joy-seekers. He writes for those who like to smile as they read. Quirky is his touchstone. Offbeat, his muse. If you’re looking to step away from characters of dark, brooding intensity or worlds devoid of hope, then look no further. This stuff is right up your alley…if you buy books in an alley.
Which is creepy.
Go to a bookstore.
