It’s My Birthday!

To celebrate my 50th birthday I am taking two big leaps. One, the family and I are going on a once-in-a-lifetime vacation to build memories and fulfill lifelong dreams. Two, I’m dropping the price on every ebook to $.99. Between December 10-12 every ebook I’ve published is available for less money than ANYTHING on the MacDonald’s value menu. A bottle of Yoo-hoo costs more. So does a pack of Trident. I invite you to join my birthday celebration by taking advantage of my poor, cake-and ice-cream-addled business sense. Each title is $.99.

Those Mythical Creatures of Myth

This month is all about those wondrous creatures of myth and legend. Goblins, griffons, and ghouls. Sphinx, specters, and sea serpents. Oh, and let’s not forget demons, dust devils, and dragons! August (with its grand name) is a month for stories featuring legendary beasts and monsters. You can find many great ones (both stories and beasts) in this collective promotion of Dragons and Mythical Creatures. You can connect to some great authors and try out some new tales of wonder and magic. Wonder is a loose term to incorporate tales that take you somewhere unknown… Read Article →

We Have a Winner!

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 →

Camping, Books, and Booze

Summer finally arrived in Colorado after weeks of unseasonal cool, wet weather. As chance would have it, we’d planned a camping trip for this past weekend months in advance. Lucky us. I also took advantage of a sale at my favorite local liquor shop to venture back into the world of scotch. And on the 21st, I am a guest at a book club that read Exceptionals. Yes, it has been a weird week of camping, books, and booze. First, I love Colorado. I love its wild outdoors, four true seasons, and capacity for reminding… Read Article →

A Week of Ups & Ups

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 →

Of Conference and Contests!

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 →

New Release!

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 →
