The sanctuary of the bayous brought peace and solitude when he explored, hunted, fished, and trapped the rivers and backwaters. It was the place he felt most at home, and his fascination with the flora and fauna and people of the region have provided a touchstone throughout his life.
The journey for this high school drop-out continued when Jon re-entered high school in Indiana and, though steered by counselors towards vocational classes, he went on to graduate from Indiana University, with a B.S. in Speech and Theatre and a minor in Folklore, and later earned his M.S. in Secondary Education. His experiences along the way were wide and varied-welder, machinist, carpenter, busboy, waiter, cook, dishwasher, recording technician, actor, stage hand, bartender, musician, teacher, recruiter, glass blower-and now, writer.
Jon returned to Texas in the mid-70s, after hitchhiking around Europe and North Africa. He now lives in Houston with his lovely wife Donna. He has two daughters, Kandace and Chelsea, and a grandson, Ryland. Jon and Donna travel about the U.S. with their German Shorthaired Pointer rescue dog, Jenny, from mountain to shore. They are both avid freshwater and saltwater anglers.
The West Bluff is Jon Bunn's first published book, but he has several more waiting in the wings: The Complete Tangiers to Costa Rica Grace Baptist Temple Broken-Down Blues Bus, a road trip adventure, and Pike's Peat and Worm Farm, a coloring book.ver menos
