About Bryan L. Hutchinson
I became a writer because I saw a ghost. I had my first paranormal experience when I was 8 years old. At first, I thought it was just me and that I had 'night terrors.' It turns out that I wasn't imagining things because soon my friends saw what I saw, and then we were attacked by it. I've wanted to write about that experience for over 30 years. And so, yes, it's literally the reason I became a writer, to tell my ghost story. It's now available on Amazon titled, "The Wee-Jees."

Titles By Bryan L. Hutchinson
The Wee-Jees: A Ghost Story Based on True Events (True Paranormal Experiences and Evidence)
Oct 1, 2020
$2.99
A group of kids, unwisely following a message they receive from a spirit board, trek deep into a haunted forest for what they expect will be a fun adventure. Instead, they end up in a terrifying game of cat and mouse with something otherworldly. Based on actual events, this is a first-hand account of what happened.
$3.99
Have you ever seen a ghost? If you’re not sure, it’s probably because “ghosts,” don’t tend to look the way we think they should. The paranormal evidence contained in this book, especially photo #9, makes that clear. After you read the firsthand experiences and view the evidence, you’ll likely never think of the paranormal the same way again.
“I never expected to capture what we captured in our photographs! Shocked isn’t a strong enough word—I am beyond astounded.” ~Bryan Hutchinson
In this book, Bryan Hutchinson revisits the haunted forest that inspired his bone-chilling novel, "The Wee-Jees." You’ll be astonished at what he and Allison Rollins found and photographed on their expedition!
Allison, a photographer (and skeptic) went with Bryan to explore the old forgotten paths where his scariest memories were made. This book shares with the world the terrifying sights and sounds that lived—and still live in those woods.
Now you, along with the rest of the world, get to see (and judge) the paranormal evidence for yourself. For many, it will be shocking, and for many others, it will be validation of what’s out there.

"Writer’s Doubt is–without a doubt–one of the best books on writing I’ve ever read.

In this part-memoir, part kick-in-the-pants, part step-by-step manual, Bryan will show you how to live out your passion, write a book, and become an author, no matter if the so-called "experts" tell you that you can't.

10 Things I Hate about ADHD
Jun 3, 2015
$2.99
A humorous read about the symptoms of ADHD. It will make you laugh and might even make you cry, but most everyone will agree it is spot on!
$0.99
The impetus for this book was from an article Hutchinson wrote nearly a decade ago, the article was titled, 'The First Draft Is Not Crap' and it became one of the most viral articles about writing. The assertion is the counter to the all too typical -the first draft is shit- mantra, which has led far to too many writers to give up and quit before their writing has had the chance to blossom. You can't quit! You can't. This book will give you not just the mindset, but also the tools to continue and finish. Keep-on-keeping-on even when every fiber of your being wants to quit. Formerly, "Serious Writers Never Quit."
Inspired Writer: How to Create Magic With Your Words
Sep 10, 2016
$9.99
This book is not what you're expecting. It's a short, little book designed to offer you unique ideas on how to be inspired and find your muse. However, it's not a safe book. It's not about following style guides, grammar rules, and coloring in the lines. Far from it. It's about going to the next level, past the learning stages of basic grammar, past the ruthless and futile determination to appear perfect in one's writing. Although the focus is on writing, one can apply the methods presented to any art form.
$0.99
Hutchinson's easy going style and positive approach makes, "Happy Every Day" less of a how-to book on happiness, but more of why-not guide to happiness.
