About the Author . . .
Bonnie Turner is a "free spirit" who slipped into this world on a spooky Halloween night in Independence, Missouri.
She published a book for children, The Haunted Igloo, in 1991, and for a number of years visited grade schools with a life-size Inuit doll, lecturing students on the importance of reading and writing, and offering "polar bear hugs" with her autograph..
With no formal education beyond high school, Turner taught herself to write through an extensive study of the craft of writing and editing, plus a huge dose of perseverance and a positive attitude. Her interests are numerous and varied: yoga, metaphysics, transcendental meditation, jazz, classical music and opera, art, reading, physics, astronomy, politics, history, and the environment. Her favorite musician is jazz-fusion guitarist/composer, Al Di Meola. Her favorite poet is Robert Service, and her favorite author James A. Michener. And while the author has not been fortunate to visit the Arctic in person, she nonetheless has a long-standing interest in that area and enjoys the research required to lend authenticity to her novels..
She lives near Green Bay, Wisconsin, and has recently completed two historical novels, one set in the Arctic and the other in Missouri during the Great Depression, 1932.
