Bruno Huber was born and raised in Zürich, Switzerland. In 1977 he won the Höhnharter Wanderpreis, a literary prize for the best short story in German, and subsequently Ullstein published a book of his short stories, Das Gelübte. He immigrated to Canada in the seventies and settled in Nelson, BC, then moved to Gibsons, BC, on the Sunshine Coast, where he still lives with his wife Elizabeth. For the past twenty-five years he has made a living as a lighting technician in Vancouver's film industry. During this time, he owned and operated a bookstore in Gibsons and later an iconic French restaurant in Vancouver's West End. His humorous behind-the-scenes account of that adventure, is currently being adapted for the stage. He divides his time between Gibsons, Mexico and the Caribbean.
