Mike Bogue

Mike Bogue writes both fiction and non-fiction, spinning speculative tales because he finds SFF the perfect genre to explore timeless themes and timely science.

A veteran of Jerry Jenkins’ Your Novel Blueprint course, Mike’s short stories have appeared in G-FAN, Scary Monsters Magazine, Daikaiju! 3, and Don’t Go In the Water.

In October 2023, Winged Publications published “A Perfect Flock,” Mike’s first Christian science fiction novel, which boasts an Amazon customer rating of 4.8. In addition, 2023 Realm Award Winner Bryan Timothy Mitchell calls the tale “immersive and compelling.”

In the non-fiction category, Mike wrote the critically acclaimed “Apocalypse Then: American and Japanese Atomic Cinema: 1951-1967” (McFarland 2017), which received an NPR endorsement.

His second non-fiction book, “Watching the World Die: Nuclear Threat Films of the 1980s” (McFarland 2023) boasts a 4.8 customer rating on Amazon.

Currently, Mike is working on “Eden Colony,” a post-apocalyptic novel in which select nuclear war survivors find they are immune to radiation.

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.
