Episode 134: Bruce J. Carter has a Ph.D. in public policy and he's written Water Wars: Sharing the Colorado river with Doug Cooper. Bruce received his B.B.A. from Savannah State University, his M.A. from Webster University, and his Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration from Walden University. Recently, he received his Executive Certificate from Harvard University in Public Policy: Social, Economic, and Foreign Policies, and an Executive Certificate from Cornell University Hands-on Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Simulations. For Bruce, writing is a form of political engagement. While serving in the U.S Military, Bruce has deployed around the world.  Through his deployments, he began to understand how a person could write about the world's problems compellingly and beautifully. Bruce currently lives in D.C. with his family. He acknowledges that his work is not about him. If you want a slice of life, look out the window. An author must look out that window, isolate one or two suggestive things, and embroider them together with life and fabrication to create a revelation.
