I’m Bruce C Bee—author of Burn Me Whole, a visceral novel about unfastening the chains I mistook for armor and discovering what’s left when the bags are finally empty. Read a sample. Grab a copy. Come for the story... STAY FOR THE VIBES.
Start with the DEBUT novel readers are talking about.
After doing everything “right,” Bruce walks away from the life that’s choking him.
On the shores of Jamaica, he meets his own reflection—stripped of performance, full of hunger, and finally honest.
A raw, immersive story about masculinity, intimacy, and the cost of becoming.
Fiction • Visceral prose • Jamaica • Black masculinity & vulnerability
I write voice-driven fiction that’s intimate, raw, and honest.
To find the core of a genuine story, I embrace the unfiltered world. My work sits squarely between reality and fiction, inspired by unhinged travels that put me in the craziest places, meeting the most chaotic and inspiring people doing the wildest things. Every character, every extreme experience, every high-stakes moment on the page is rooted in a truth I had to live to find.
Burn Me Whole is the story I didn't know I needed to write, but the world needed me to share.
