Michael J Bowler's Biography

I grew up in Northern California, but have resided in the Los Angeles area since 1979. I have wrote/directed and/or produced several low-budget horror films in the past. I have two published novels and a third almost ready for publication. Joining Red Room seems like a good way to network with readers and other writer's to promote myself and my writing and discover other writers and their work, as well. I love reading and I love entertaining people with my stories. I've been active with the Big Brothers Big Sisters program for almost 29 years, mentoring seven different boys. I've also been heavily involved within the juvenile justice system in California since 1984 and wish passionately to see our society end it's war on children and start remembering that kids screw up and make bacd choices. They shouldn't be thrown away for that, but rather mentored and shown alternative behaviors, and given a second chance at reach adulthood outside of prison walls.
