Meet The Author
Bruce Ballister is a life-long fan of books, reading authors from multiple genres. It’s no wonder then, that his output reflects that variety. He is a fan of the classic sci-fi writers, such as Clark and Heinlein as well as the newer generation of science fiction writers including S A Corey and Andy Weir. His crime novel, still in the works, is a tribute and result of his enjoyment of Michael Connelley’s Bosch series as well as the international intrigues of Ludlum, Brown, and DeSilva. His one foray into non-fiction is a result of his brush with heart disease. Still the number one killer in the developed world. He resides in North Florida, one of the still unspoiled corners of planet Earth, with his wife of 30 years, and an 80lb puppy.
