Bonnie Dobkin grew up in and around Chicago, and now lives in Arlington Heights. She was a frighteningly ordinary and well-behaved child. To compensate, she often tried to escape normalcy through music, acting, and of course, writing. By day, she is editorial director for a well-known educational publisher, the mother of three semi-grown and very handsome sons, wife to a dentist who wishes he were Doc Holliday, and love object of a ninety-pound mutt of dubious heritage. Dream Spinner is her first novel. You can visit Bonnie on the web at bonniedobkin.com
