And other niceties Last month I sent out a call for help: naming my work in progress. I set up a contest running until June 16, promising the top five entries would then be offered up to you to pick the winner. Well, some things changed over the last month, mainly that I only received three title ideas. So, after shuffling and sorting and pondering through that deep field of contenders, I narrowed the field. Then I engaged in wordplay. And so it is with a gleeful heart that I announce the winner and the… Read Article →

Yeah, this post is late and I’m sorry about that. However, my to-do list has gotten so long I forgot until ten minutes ago that it was even Tuesday. Crazy as these last seven days have been, all in all it has been a good week, a week of ups and ups. Of course, going up is hard work whether you’re flapping your wings or tackling the Manitou Incline and hard work has been happening with me. My day job is undergoing restructuring and redefining of positions. They call it “onboarding.” I call it having… Read Article →

And now StoriesbyBowen.com is growing again as I offer up a newsletter! The newsletter will not be available on the website itself, but those of you who subscribe will find it (or a… Read Article →
This past weekend saw me at the 30th Annual Pikes Peak Writers Conference in Colorado Springs. This is my home conference, the one I never miss and have been loyal to since 2016. The event was a blur. What with so many fellow writers to connect with and workshops to blow my brain, it’s no wonder I came home Sunday night and collapsed in bed before my daughter was even in her PJs. PPWC continues to be amazing and it’s timing this year was perfect. And so it’s time to share with you a bit… Read Article →
It has been an exciting (and exhausting) month thus far: weird weather, kid camps, book release, and preparing myself for dual-hatting it this weekend as both emcee and faculty at the 30th Annual Pikes Peak Writers Conference. So let’s talk promos and PPWC! Exceptionals came out a week ago and my, what nice things you all have said about it (insert image of me blushing). Coinciding with the release of my first novel is a promotion around my novella A Night to Remember. Right now, you can download the ebook for $.99. Well, not on… Read Article →
Exceptionals is out and available NOW! And I have a gift for you as an enticement/thank you for being a StoriesbyBowen aficionado. My debut novel about a federal protection agent who teams up with his jilted, black belt ex-fiancé and a band of college campus oddballs to protect a young woman with extraordinary abilities from some clandestine kidnappers has arrived! Exceptionals evolved from an award-winning short story to a novel over the course of a couple years. Submissions, revisions, and hard decisions later, I am proud to bring this humorous supernatural thriller come love story… Read Article →
Today’s my birthday and to celebrate, I’m giving gifts to you. Today until December 15th you can download my Dawn Trouble and The Wedding Guest ebooks for FREE! That’s right, both ebooks can be yours for the same price as, well, a breath or snapping your fingers or digestive bloating. Not that you want any part of that last one, but still, we’re talking FREE. If two free short stories isn’t gift enough, then how about a hundred-page novella for only 99-cents? For the same five day window, December 11-15, the ebook of A Night… Read Article →
