About Bruce Meisterman:

Starting out as a photo-journalist, Bruce’s travels took him across the United States, Canada, and Europe. His photography has been exhibited in numerous galleries, private collections, and museums. His work has been featured in publications such as the New York Times, Country Journal, Yankee magazine, Memphis magazine, Delaware Today, and The Sun magazine among others.

Putting his cameras aside, he turned his attention to writing fiction. A Coward’s Guide to Living is the first result of that work. It’s about a cowardly and fearful middle-aged man’s reluctant journey of self-discovery. Tasked by his late friend to get his act together, he finds more than he bargained for, gaining much, losing some, and learning that there is life after death.

His second novel, The Light Inerrant, was borne out of his interest in light, no surprise for a photographer. In this story, light starts behaving oddly. All light: reflections, the sun, stars, even electrical light disappears and reappears, plunging the world into total darkness. The effect around the world becomes dangerous. A team of scientists race to discover what’s behind this. What they learn will reveal that life on Earth will never be the same. Oh, and it’s not little green men.

When not writing, he can be found; attempting to learn the guitar (badly); reading almost anything within reach; listening to music; discovering obscure films; and traveling. Good food and better wine fit in there somewhere too.

He has lectured at numerous colleges and universities including: University of Mississippi, University of Delaware, Tennessee Tech, Union University, Siena College, College of St. Rose, and the State University of New York among others.

Bruce is also a two-time multi-panelist at the Killer Nashville Writer’s Conference. He was also a featured author at the Southern Festival of Books.

Published works include: Gateway to Aero-Science (contributor); Tennessee 24/7 (contributor); Giving Back With Purpose (contributor); A Coward’s Guide to Living (author); The Light Inerrant (author).

Currently, he is working on a new novel, an archaeological thriller.
