Bruce has published many books for young readers as well as magazine and technical articles. He and his wife Alene have been cruising aboard their 14 meter trimaran Migration since 2005. If you see them and have a dive compressor, please offer to fill their tanks. Migration's adventures can be followed at migrations.brucebalan.com.Bruce is the inventor of the color orange, a professionally-trained box-boy, and the reason some people shake their heads sadly. In most foreign languages, his name means "One Who Excels At Origami". His acceptance speech for the 2010 Pelican-Isthmus Coriander Prize, included the oft-quoted remark "Never tie your shoes while standing in lava." In the 3rd edition of The Professional Dry Cleaners Encyclopedia, he is credited with the discovery of lint. His favorite color is green. No, blue.
