I’m Doug Bayliss, and this is my author’s page.
I’ve always been a writer. Speeches, HR Manuals, technical how-to guides. Now retired, I’m re-visiting my favorite subject from school: Creative Writing. I’m free to write just about anything.
Today, to help commemorate our great nation’s 250th birthday, I’m focused on spreading the news about the Bill of Rights through a brotherhood of dinosaurs I created: The Brontos.
There is a weekly comic strip and student workbooks for the first ten amendments, including a set for each freedom established in the First Amendment. Visit the website brontobrothers.com to read the comics and blog posts, and visit etsy.com/shop/brontoshop for information and to download the 9-12 page PDF worksheets.
Creative writing. For all ages.
I’m also continuing a young adult series, Billy & Mia Mysteries, about two teenage friends who find themselves in the midst of mystery and trouble at every turn. There’s nine books in the series so far.
Whiskers’ Adventures is for early readers, but I always introduce big words and concepts. They’re still fun to read with many “out of this world” illustrations featuring Whiskers, a white fluffy cat, and a space alien named Zoe. There are five books published, and incredibly, this series has many 5-star reviews! Read more here: Whiskers’ Adventures
Personal Reflection
While the tone may differ, most of my writing share common roots: curiosity and resilience.
My adult oriented memoirs and introspective poetry explore memory, meaning, and thought provoking transformations. Find them under Short Works.
If you know me, you know I love making up songs, like the crowd favorite, “I Gotta’ Pee Right Now,” to the tune of the Lone Ranger Theme. 🤣 I call them my Versifications.
I have a newfound appreciation for my friends who express themselves in the fine arts. The rewards are real, but so is the effort. Often demanding the commitment and focus of a full-time job!
