Bonnie's debut novel, Pearly Gates, is set to release on June 1st, 2025 - just in time for Pride Month!​
​

A dead drag queen. A cozy café. A shady deal—and an unexpected family.

​

Deceased drag queen Pearly Gates has the worst job in the afterlife: cosmic sanitation worker. When her soulmate leaves her, claiming she’s incapable of growth, Pearly hatches a plan to win him back. By striking a deal to take over the caseload of a burnt-out spirit guide, she’ll prove she’s worthy of love—and redemption.

Her mission takes her to Thunderbolt Books & Coffee, a small-town café haunted by a 1920s burlesque dancer. There, she’s tasked with guiding a grieving young widow, a terminally ill college grad, and a trans woman searching for purpose. As Pearly works her magic (and charm) to help them heal and connect, she begins to discover something she thought she’d lost forever—belonging.

Then she learns the café’s owner is her soulmate reincarnated—and one of her charges is falling for them. Thrown into a love triangle she never saw coming, Pearly must decide: sabotage the relationship or be the good guide she promised to become.

Pearly Gates is a humorous, uplifting fantasy celebrating found family, self-discovery, and second chances—even after life’s final curtain call.
