PRESS RELEASEFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
London, 29 October 2025 – Acclaimed author H. W. “Buzz” Bernard is featured in the latest issue of Reader’s House Magazine, London’s distinguished literary publication celebrating the world’s finest storytellers. The magazine, renowned for showcasing bestselling and award-winning authors, praised Bernard and his work for their “authenticity, emotional depth, and precision in transforming history into compelling human drama.”
A former U.S. Air Force colonel and senior meteorologist, Buzz Bernard has channelled a lifetime of experience into his craft, creating fiction that bridges the technical and the deeply human. From the high-stakes realism of Eyewall to the heartfelt courage of his When Heroes Flew series, Bernard’s storytelling reveals both the magnitude of history and the quiet resilience of those who lived it. The magazine hailed him as “a writer of rare discipline and compassion—an author who brings war, weather, and conscience vividly to life.”
In his Reader’s House interview, Bernard reflects on the evolution of his writing and the themes that continue to drive his work:
- “When I write about disasters, I make every effort to keep them within the realm of reality… I don’t write fantasy or sci-fi.”
- “The bravery shown by the aircrews in the Ploesti raid was stunning, unimaginable. I knew I had to write about that.”
- “Down a Dark Road is based on the true story of a young American lieutenant who struggled with his conscience long after the war ended.”
- “Writing historical fiction is like having homework for the rest of your life. And then you die.”
Praised for his ability to balance historical accuracy with gripping narrative, Bernard infuses his novels with a journalist’s precision and a storyteller’s heart. His depictions of combat and weather events are grounded in realism, yet they rise above mere fact to explore questions of morality, courage, and redemption.
Reader’s House described When Heroes Flew as “an extraordinary blend of history and humanity—told with integrity, intelligence, and grace.” Through his stories, Bernard not only honours the past but examines how personal conviction and duty intertwine in the most turbulent moments of life.
Praise from Reader’s House:
“H. W. ‘Buzz’ Bernard combines military precision with emotional insight, crafting historical fiction that soars with authenticity and heart.”
