As a young girl, Bonnie used to dread writing for her school projects. The task of creating draft after draft of handwritten material was draining. Yet that all changed when she received her first computer. Writing seemed all too easy, and soon short stories were streaming across the screen in a matter of minutes. She eventually found her nitch in the medieval fantasy genre, and she relentlessly works on her beloved characters and endless ideas.
Bonnie’s background in illustration has earned a small reputation with several authors. Her works have been published in the form of book covers, such as Patterns in Silicon, Whispers of Glory, and Songbirds are Free.
View Resumé
WISDOM NOVELS is a concept of six books that follows the footsteps of a young magic-user forced to leave the comforts of his family home after an assassination orphans him, then a failed kidnapping leaves him stranded in a location only a thief could call paradise. Written in a medieval setting for young adults (i.e. Dragonlance) the story entwines the lives of several characters: a half-breed Black Wing seeking his captive mother in the human realms in order to escape his pure-blood family; an alchemist wielding a newfound power he hopes will make him the magic-user he has always wished to be; a Healer seeking to destroy the very foundation which lead to the division of his people; and two sister unicorns, one pure, one Dark, all while discovering where the main character originally came from in order to stop this growing Darkness and the first Black Unicorn.
The manuscript is divided into three parts: the beginning of a new life after leaving home and discovering the use of magic only imagined; the development of skill and cunning when forced to use other talents besides magic in a game of slavery; and the realization that there is more to the way the world works, and a chance to save it.
