By Bernard Bumbler

A short collection of stories written as exercises in a writer's workshop in the Southern US. Short but sweet, delve into the world of a practicing writer as he hones his craft with: two sentence tales, pun-tastic sketches, childhood memories and beloved objects long since lost to time. The Babblings of a Bumbler is just that, a collection of thoughts and stories from the mind of an old-time bumbler who has opted to share his musings with the world of smashwords.

Bernard Bumbler

Bernard is an avid bibliophile, voracious gardener, and a lover of alliteration (an inherited trait, simply look at his name). When he's not at work, out bumbling around his garden, binge watching Netflix with his trusty pup, or reading his weekly book he's attending a writer's workshop to indulge his creative side. His first collection of short stories is the product of those meetings, and he hopes to produce much more!
