Welcome to the Books
C.T. Bonnett
Mystery and Science Fiction Author
Thanks for stopping by to look at my books. As I’ve mentioned, I’m a novelist and a developmental editor of more than a dozen mystery and science fiction thrillers. I refer to my writing style as ‘cinematic’. I was a reader as a kid, but I loved going to the movies, and still do. I also like books that move along, so I write what I like to read.
