Bernard Boulton is a self published author. Since he was a small child he has loved to read and dreamed of the day when he would write books. His first attempt at writing was a novel that he completed in 1992, the year his son Bernard Quincy was born. A year later he connected with an agent but was unable to get a publishing deal. Bernard who entered pastoral ministry in 1993 became consumed with ministry and the dream of writing and publishing took back seat to his life as a pastor and family man. It was after the death of his mother in 2003 where Bernard's passion for writing was reignited. Bernard started writing a story about three men who were lifelong friends and through a series of personal crises become housemates. With the help of their pastor the three try to find their way back to purpose. After years of writing and editing, this story became Bernard's first novel titled DO YOU WANNA BE MADE WHOLE? It was released in December 2009.In 2010 Bernard joined a group of writers to write an anthology titled HOME AGAIN. It will be released in November 2011. Bernard is currently writing an inspirational nonfiction book and the sequel to DO YOU WANNA BE MADE WHOLE?
