Bruce Spohn was born March 5th 1947 in Lancaster, CA near Los Angeles. His parents moved north to the Bay Area and he attended K – 12 in a number of schools in different cities around the Bay. This laid the foundation of his outlook on life. After graduating from Clayton Valley High School in Concord California he joined the U. S. Air force. After basic training in Lackland AFB in San Antonio TX he was sent to Germany Oct 1965. Life in Europe appealed to him and he stayed in Germany for 40 years and finally returned to the United States Feb 2006. As luck would have it he was sent back to San Antonio TX where he works for the Government at Fort Sam Houston. Bruce started writing when he was still in high school but never published. In Nov 1999 he was involved in a near fatal car accident and woke up in the ICU a few days before Christmas. He felt inspired to write a story to send to his friends as a special Christmas gift. He continues to write a Christmas story every year and this is a collection of them.

Though it is fiction “Christmas Treasures” is based on events that Bruce has experienced in his life, from early childhood memories to the events that cry out from the headlines of the news media.
