Author Rhonda Bolling has worked as a private investigator, telecommunications operator for the deaf, and convention center manager. Her side-gig has been as a professional photographer for 20 years. She has survived being almost bitten by a rattlesnake (twice), running from a bear she thought was chasing her, and living on an island that gets close to 200 inches of rain annually. She and her husband share their home in Southeast Alaska with twin daughters, Kobe the Pup, and a fur-ball the vet swears is a cat. Both of her children’s books are attempting to make a bestseller’s list.
