 Growing up in Los Angeles, Bonnie Domrose
Stone claims she was never aware of the Antelope Valley other than the times
her parents dragged her to Valyermo in the horrible heat of summer. She spent
her time at the much cooler environs of St. Mary's Academy and Mount St.
Mary's College before transferring to Marquette University to earn her
degree in journalism.
Then came the trekking: Internship at a small weekly paper in Green Lake,
Wisconsin; copy girl at the Santa Monica Evening Outlook; family section
editor for the Angeles Mesa News-Advertiser in Los Angeles; Family Section
Editor for Lakeland Publisher's five newspapers headquartered out of
Grayslake,
 Illinois; staff reporter for the News & Courier in Charleston;
special assignment writer for Today in Cocoa, Florida, and the Honolulu
Advertiser, Hawaii, and editor of Ka Nupepa, Mililani, Hawaii.
When her three sons were young, she freelanced for magazines, specializing
in writing about the family for numerous local, regional and national
publications.
With her first book, Aloha Cowboy, she learned she loved doing research. She
burrowed her way through libraries to produce Uncle Sam's Brides, Campfollowing, a history of military wives, and
Civil War in Paradise, a
middle grade reader.
Her awards include a Who's Who of American Women, and American Women
Writers; four Galley Awards for excellence in writing from the International
Association of Business Communicators/Hawaii; Tad Quattlebaum Award, South
Carolina, for best state-wide feature story; South Carolina Press
Association state-wide first place awards for newspaper page layout, article
writing and photography; Three National Federation of Press Women awards for
newspaper articles. She founded the Antelope Valley Writers, in 1986.
Only her family and close friends would remember that she was o n Good
Morning America and Sonya Live when she was on cable television.
Her husband, who retired from the Army's Flight Test Program (which had been
at Edwards A.F.B) has helped research the field trips for San Andreas Ain't
No Fault of Mine. Together they've explored the far reaches of the Antelope
Valley to provide you with a guide to the wonderful places to explore in the
magnificent Antelope Valley. |
