I grew up in a big extended family of eccentric Texas storytellers spinning yarns, including my grandmother, a poet, descended from Kentucky pioneers. As a lover of words, I became a professional librarian, reading tall tales to children and peddling YA Lit to teens. My husband and I traveled all 2000 miles of the California Trail to research my award-winning novel, Prairie Journey. I share the name Bonney with William Bonney, Billy the Kid, and was inevitably drawn to his New Mexico haunts to research and write his story.
