I get to live the stories that evolve in my imagination. I get to kill off really creepy people in my books, if I want to. Lots of "bests" to being a writer. (less)

My latest book FROM THE ASHES was inspired by a similar episode in a family member's life, with exploitation by a caregiver and a house fire. The stalking incident in YOUR EVERY MOVE was loosely based on a similar situation that occurred while I was in college.(less)

Wait a minute…

Where did June go? How did I miss June? What in the world was going on that I missed?





Well, let’s see. There is a world-wide pandemic going on. It’s been hotter than Hades so I’m watering my flowers every day to try and keep them alive. The weeds are doing famously, the little buggers. My veggies are not putting on any tomatoes or peppers. I keep trying but it’s beginning to defeat me. I won’t giv

Bonnie Tharp There are so many new books that I've been trying to catch up on some of the older books on my shelves in between the new things. I truly think it may be time to revisit Sullivan's Island or Shem Creek by Dorothea Benton Frank. I miss her tales of the low country and the feisty folks therein.

Bonnie Tharp Feisty Family Values named one of the "150 Best Kansas Books" by State Library of KS. I'm honored to be in the company of such noted authors as Sara Paretsky, Lois Ruby, Claire Vanderpool, Bevery Buller, and so many more. http://www.kslib.info/index.html Check out the entire list. WOW!


Bonnie Tharp Hi Beth, Glad to connect. It's important for authors to support each other, writing is such a lonely business. And no one knows what a writer goes through except another writer. Take care & enjoy the journey.
BD
