Publisher info

Bruce followed several absorbing hobbies during his lifetime, one of them, philately. He used this background to develop his first prototype website, Cyberstamp Club, inventing “virtual philately” in the process. Soon his site received The Golden Web Award for its content and creativity. On the strength of this success, Bruce became Webmaster for a group of luxury hotels. Subsequently he authored several high end guest house websites.

He is a self-published author and an active book editor. His book, FOUR MINUTES PAST MIDNIGHT, about his personal paranormal experiences, is available via Smashwords and the Amazon Kindle bookshelf ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MZISAM ).

His works are published under the banner of "Good Hope Publishing (Digital)", Bruce's private publishing label. The name is derived from the place of his birth, known in history as "The Cape of Good Hope".

In addition, Bruce performs as a professional children’s magician in the greater metropolitan area of Cape Town. His popularity as FOO LING YU (From Tung-in-cheek, China) continues to grow.

Historic fiction.
