About the Author

Sleeping with Schubert is Bonnie Marson’s second piece of fiction. The first was a short story called "The Sphinx," which won honorable mention in the Society of Southwestern Authors writing contest in 1994. She started a second short story but set it aside for several years until a friend suggested she "keep writing till it’s finished." Schubert is the finished story.

Before turning her creative energies toward writing, Bonnie was an artist working, mostly making paintings and drawings but playing with other media, too. Her work sold in galleries and to collectors around the country.

In addition to making art, Bonnie has had other jobs to support her food and clothing addictions. For the past 12 years, she’s worked at Canyon Ranch, the jet-set spa in Tucson, where all is sunny and lovely and healthy.

Though she’s lived in Tucson for more than 20 years, Bonnie is deeply rooted in New York. After growing up in East Meadow, Long Island, she went to college at the State University of New York at Buffalo, earning a degree in Speech Communications. She soon went back to undergrad at Douglass College in New Jersey to study fine arts.

Bonnie lives in Tucson with her husband, Steve Sadler, along with the world’s cutest dog, one good cat and one evil one. She is working on her next novel.
