Book Three of my Film Milieu Thriller series is finally out in the world. Yay! Writing mysteries is tricky and my hat’s off to those writers who turn out so many clever and compelling stories. My series is both mystery and thriller with paranormal and suspense elements, so they are not the “cozy” variety. But I came to love the characters in the first two books and took the unprecedented step of…

So far, 2020 has turned the world upside down in so many ways, none of them good. As a writer, I have seen much to decry and comment upon, but as the parent of a young child, it’s best that I focus on him and his immediate needs and leave the commentary to others who feel they are more qualified.
In this regard, the school year is trickling to its conclusion, which is probably a relief to…
Indies Today editorial book review of I Know When You're Going To Die by Michael J Bowler.

This book releases February 25, 2020, and the .99 cent eBook price will remain in place from now through the first week of release, so grab it while the grabbing is good. LOL The novel will also be…
A Boy And His Dragon (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/ejqymZVO7Y Bradley Wallace Murphy just turned thirteen, and he's not happy about it. He doesn't fit in at school, he's no good at sports, a bully torments him, he's a disappointment to his parents, and his only "friends" are fictional characters on a TV show called Dark Shadows. He's on the verge of manhood, but wants no part of that, either. Then he finds the egg and everything changes. From this egg hatches Whilly, a supposedly mythical dragon that bonds with him emotionally and spiritually. The sudden responsibility of hiding, feeding, and caring for a rapidly growing dragon in a small California city in 1970 forces Bradley Wallace to grow up whether he wants to or not. Through their adventures together, boy and dragon learn the true nature of their symbiosis and Bradley Wallace learns that he is not just a misfit kid. He's dangerous. More dangerous than anyone in history. So dangerous that he might be killed if the truth comes out. The boy who doesn't want to grow up comes to realize that it might be better for the world if he didn't.
I’m excited to announce that two of my novels are available as free reads. One is my latest book and the other is a brand new version of my first. The new novel is available to read at SwoonReads.com and I’d love some solid feedback on the story and the characters. It’s suitable for teenagers to adults and just might land a publishing deal if enough readers are as passionate about the story as I…

“Lance is an epic hero.” So said a reviewer when the first editions of my Lance Chronicles appeared under the “Children of the Knight”moniker. Now, it’s 2018 and the series has been revamped, revised, and re-released. Was I able to substantially improve these books? I sincerely hope so. Is Lance still an epic hero? That’s up to readers to decide. But I can say that Lance’s coming-of-age journey…
I found out over the weekend that my novel, SPINNER, is a Literary Titan Award Winner. It's humbling to have my work recognized by readers and reviewers.

Writer Michael Bowler on Born To Talk w' Marsha Wietecha 10-23-17
Here's my interview with Marsha Bergher Wietecha of Born To Talk where we discuss writing, volunteering, and foster care/adoption. Feel free to comment. Anyone who is even considering foster care or adoption might learn something useful. It's not as difficult as people may think, and the children are not all damaged beyond repair or impossible to parent. I recently took in an amazing 9-year-old, and he's been the greatest gift of my life.
Thanks to Thomas at Literary Titan for his affirmation of my horror novel, SPINNER. Those who liked the movie, IT, should find much to like in this book.
