About Me

Thanks for visiting. I'm Bonnie and I live in sunny Florida. Well, sometimes sunny Florida. Except during hurricane season! My first book, The Falcon & the Dove, was set in Egypt in 1892. My latest book, THE LADY AND THE LIBERTINE, is another Egyptian historical featuring a naughty earl trying to steal the virginity, and a ruby key to a treasure, from an English beauty. THE LADY AND THE LIBERTINE is an April 2009 release from Dorchester.

I'm an author of historical and paranormal romance.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



REVIEWS:

"A rousing adventure of highest order, THE SWORD & THE SHEATH is passionate, richly detailed, action packed and fun, all rolled into one. Tarik and Fatima are antagonists that just won’t give an inch; neither wanting to reveal their feelings and give the opponent an advantage. They are well matched; the sparks leap off the pages whenever they are together. The author makes the Egyptian sands come alive on the pages in a way few can; allowing this reader to step back in time on a grand adventure. I highly recommend this book." Historical Romance Writers.

"Known for stirring romances set in exotic locales that sweep readers into another time and place, Vanak has a gift for creating exciting stories, memorable characters and a passion hotter than the Middle Eastern sunshines.” Kathe Robin, Romantic Times Book Reviews on THE SWORD & THE SHEATH

"As searing and exotic as the desert sun, Vanak's sexy adventure boasts three-dimensional characters and a depth of emotion underlying a roller-coaster treasure hunt. Vanak is moving into the ranks of the finest romantic adventure writers with this thrilling read. " Kathe Robin, Romantic Times Book Reviews, on THE PANTHER & THE PYRAMID

"Vanak's latest novel recalls the big, exciting historical romances of the past." Romantic Times Book Reviews on THE COBRA & THE CONCUBINE

“The Cobra and the Concubine is a must read for all historical romance fans. I highly recommend this book as one wild and enjoyable ride into the world of warriors and secrets.” A Romance Review
