Bonnie Tunick

I am a 63-year-old recovering lawyer living with my wife in Chicago, IL. During the pandemic, I wrote 2 screenplays - "The Third Impeachment Trial of Donald J. Trump” (a comedy) and "Chicken Tenderized" (a drama) and 2 novels - "Miss Minnie's Boarding House" (an historical family saga) and "Angel's Brew" (a legal thriller). My gift book of vignettes and snapshots about women's lives and relationships, "The Lines In Her Face," was published by Jane's Stories Press. My stories and photographs have also appeared in a number of anthologies and magazines. This sure beats the heck out of practicing law!!
