Bruce Borgos Profile Photo

Bruce Borgos

Author

Bruce Borgos lives and writes from the Nevada desert where he works hard every day to prove his high school guidance counselor had good instincts when he said “You’ll never be an astronaut.” He has a degree in political science which effectively discouraged him from a career in law and resulted in a lifelong obsession with words and stories and a fascination with how telephones work. When not writing, you can usually find him at the local wine store.
