Bonnie Elizabeth

Bonnie Elizabeth could never decide what to do, so she wrote stories about amazing things and sometimes she even finished them. While rejection stung her so badly in person, she spent most of her young life talking to cats and dogs rather than people, she was unusually resilient when it came to rejections on her writing, racking up a good number of them. Floating through a variety of jobs, including veterinary receptionist, cemetery administrator, and finally acupuncturist, she continued to write stories. When the internet came along (yes, she’s old), she started blogging as her cat, because we all know cats don’t notice rejection. Then she started publishing. Bonnie writes in a variety of genres. Her popular Whisper series is contemporary fantasy and her Teenage Fairy Godmother series is written for teens. She has published in a number of anthologies and is working on expanding her writing repertoire. She lives with her husband (who talks less than she does) and her three cats, who always talk back. You can find out more about her books at her publisher, My Big Fat Orange Cat Publishing.

A Cecelia Song Short Mystery

There are lots of things to like about the United States. My estranged husband, Han Yang, is not here for one. The people are friendly. In Portland, where I live, they are not usually nosey either. The weather is good, with plenty of rain so I do not have to worry about drought, but it is not so much rain that there is the worry of floods too often. The air is clear and if there are smells it is likely to be a clean scent of rain. I am not often overheated or over-chilled and compared to Beijing, the city is not over-crowded.

Sometimes the rules get to me. I know how to heal a body. I learned at my father’s knee when I started filling herbal formulas for the people in our community. I moved north to study at the school in Beijing and then I worked in the hospital. Although I am small, I studied tui na, which is how we adjust bones and muscles so the body moves as it should. I also know how to use acupuncture needles.

Unfortunately, in the United States, I can only do massage, which is very frustrating. I am told that I did not have the education to get licensed to do the other things, although, having sat in on classes in schools here in the United States, I could have taught most classes on herbs (although
