Bonnie Hearn Hill is a bestselling thriller author with  the new Star Crossed young adult astrology series to be released soon from Running Press/Perseus Books.

Watch for live classes with Bonnie offered exclusively from WritersEducation.com.

A teacher and public speaker as well as an author, Bonnie  loves mentoring writers almost as much as she loves writing itself. She worked as a newspaper editor for 22 years, a job that, along with her natural nosiness, increased her interest in contemporary culture. Her 2003 novel, Intern was called " a page-turner" by Publishers Weekly.

Killer Body (published in 2004), a thriller about our weight-obsessed culture, was a Cosmopolitan magazine pick.  In 2006, MIRA Books published Bonnie's series of newspaper thrillers featuring hearing-impaired reporter Geri LaRue:  If It Bleeds. Cutline and Off the Record. She has also written and coauthored nonfiction.

A national conference speaker, contest judge and volunteer faculty member for the Yosemite Writers Conference, Bonnie has mentored many successful
authors, including Hazel Dixon-Cooper, now the Cosmopolitan magazine Astrologer; mystery novelist Sheree Petree; Mark Fesen, M.D., author of
Surviving the Cancer System (Amacom) and multi-published quilting pioneer Jean Ray Laury.
