About the Author

D.B. Bruce is a 73 year old grandfather who currently lives in Florida with his wife, one of his three daughters, a very handsome kitty named Sammy and two loud dogs named Walter and Charlie.

D.B. spends his time writing, tinkering, building stuff, cooking, painting, and playing guitar at least a little bit every day.

Off-Grid-Life Playbook for Beginners is the first full length book D.B. Bruce has written, although back when he was in his 40s he wrote an editorial column for a newspaper every week for seven years. It was while writing for the newspaper that he learned the value of the written word and the even greater value of a good editor.
