John Bauer

An aging Baby Boomer, his website–Oldmanwrite–reflects his age and current vocation. His genres are adult contemporary satire, dramedy, fabulist, horror, erotic, creative non-fiction, and young adult. He has watered greenhouse roses and dug clams, managed multi-million-dollar local governments, sold health insurance and securities, and served in Iraq and Afghanistan on provincial reconstruction teams. Married for fifty-plus years with three adult children and eight grandchildren, he lives a blessed life. For as long as he thinks he has something to say, and can say it, he will continue scribbling words.

Since 2013, Scribes Valley, Stone Canoe Literary Journal, AnotheRealm, the Magazine of Speculative Fiction, Andrews UK Limited (House of Erotica), WildSound Novel Writing Festival, Stringybark Stories, ReadWrite Startegies, LLC, and Lyestrah Press have published his writings. In 2020/2025, he published two contemporary satires:

All the Bay’s Clams and All the Bay’s Men, and A Heart on the River.
