Bruce Novotny

Bruce Novotny was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey, just before the legendary coastal storm of March 1962. He graduated from the University of Notre Dame, where he co-founded the campus humor magazine. He represented Cambridge University in the British universities soccer tournament, while doing a year of post-graduate work there. A true local on the sands of Long Beach Island, N.J., he surfed the island’s beach breaks, paddled his surf ski on Little Egg Harbor Bay, managed the family’s marina business, and wrote a contemporary culture column for the summer weekly Beachcomber in the late 1980s. After contemplating Jersey Shore sunsets for many years, he now lives in southern California where he is pursuing a career as a screenwriter. He is also a contributor to Shore Stories: An Anthology of the Jersey Shore. Tales From an Endless Summer is his first book.
