I've always enjoyed painting and writing. It started with animals and gradually worked its way to people. It's fascinating to watch a painting come to life from scratch to finish, or a piece of a story develop far beyond the normal complexity of snippets or poetry. Every painting has a story behind it. Every story has a picture to paint. So I'm just an endless beacon of stories for both worlds. The world of Art. The world of Storytelling. There's no living without either." – Bonnie Watson

Bonnie’s Fantasy Series, entitled Blue Moon Rising, follows the footsteps of a young magic-user on a journey to discover the truth behind his secretive upbringing. Meet a half-breed Black Wing seeking his captive mother in the human realms in order to escape his pure-blood family; an alchemist wielding a newfound power he hopes will make him the magic-user he has always wished to be; a Healer seeking to destroy the very foundation which lead to the division of his people; and two sister unicorns, one Pure, one Dark. To unravel the puzzle behind the separation of humans and Healers, Keith must first acknowledge what he is in order to stop a growing Darkness, and the first Black Unicorn.

Bonnie’s background in illustration has earned a small reputation with several authors. Her works have been published in the form of book covers, such as Patterns in Silicon, Whispers of Glory, and Songbirds are Free.
