Bruce Edward Butler

About me: I've been married to the same beautiful woman for fifty years. Karin and I have eight children and ten grandchildren. When diagnosed with cancer in 2008, I stopped watching TV and began writing.

Other interesting facts: I've been stranded on a Muslim island in Indonesia, explored the most remote parts of China, been baptized in the Jordan River, slept in a fleabag hotel in Paris, and been awakened by howler monkeys in the Peruvian Amazon.

Novels are a vehicle for conveying deeper truths, but that doesn't mean they can't be the most exciting an engaging you've ever read.
