Autorenporträt
Bonnye Matthews moved to Alaska to retire in the clean air of a beautiful place she'd come to love in 2005. Fiction writing had never crossed her mind until she took a class at Mat-Su College on Alaska History and became fascinated with the first Americans. Matthews wrote a five-book novel series and followed that with a three-volume novella series with a focus on specific archaeological sites. She wrapped up that set of books with her peopling of the Americas paradigm in 2018. Bonnye next turned to dinosaurs and completed Arctic Dinosaurs of Alaska, a middle-grade novel chock full of multidisciplinary learning opportunities in 2022.Bonnye's newest book details her greatest joy in life: her long-term deep and abiding love and worship of God. Bonnye's life is one where happiness and joy abound. From early childhood, she learned what Solomon wrote about in Ecclesiastes in the Bible: work is the source of joy. Whether she works to learn something or communicate with others, her motto has been two words her great-aunt Katy Bradley wrote on her soul: beyond beyond. If giving 80% were the basic standard, giving 100% might mean going beyond. Bonnye would give 120%. It's where joy is found, she explains.
