A youngish 68, Mike Bogue contends his mind doesn’t feel that old, though his body insists it’s at least 83. He has seen every Godzilla movie ever made multiple times, and employs that same passion when writing his speculative fiction.
A graduate of Jerry Jenkins’ Your Novel Blueprint course, Mike wrote the acclaimed Apocalypse Then: American and Japanese Atomic Cinema: 1951-1967 (McFarland), which received an NPR endorsement.
His current McFarland book, Watching the World Die: Nuclear Threat Films of the 1980s, is now available for purchase.
In addition, he has written articles and short stories for Mad Scientist, Movie Milestones, The Lost Films Fanzine, Wonder, G-FAN, and Scary Monsters.
Recently, Winged Publications published his first Christian science fiction novel A Perfect Flock, which is available on Amazon.
His website (you are there!) offers a free speculative fiction short story called “Bubble House Blues at the End of the World ” (see below), about which best-selling author Kevin Miller says, “I loved it! Very classic feel.”
Single, Mike lives with his cat Bendi in Western Arkansas, where he and Bendi regularly hold contests to see who can nap the longest in a single day.
