Bio

Bernard Hefner on the beach

Bernard Hefner is an author, actor, and musician whose work explores the intersections between people, memory, and place. His writing, like his life, is drawn to ordinary moments that reveal larger emotional truths, finding meaning in the relationships, misunderstandings, and unplanned encounters that shape this world.

He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre with a concentration in Acting from California State University, Fullerton. Since then, he has worked in the aerospace industry while devoting his free time to creating new characters on and off the page.

Bernard lives in Long Beach, California, and is currently at work on his first short story collection, A City of Changing Tides. Feel free to reach him by email or on social media.

"Like I'm chasing an idea of love that sits over the fence… somewhere, ya know? Able to be seen, but just out of my reach."
