Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Bonnie Bernard is the alter ego of a fiery redhead who lives in the Rocky Mountains with her husband, Doug. They share their old haunted home with a mutt named Gilligan and a pair of cats – Exmo and Sponge.

Bonnie likes to write paranormal/weird fiction, play outside, make a difference in the world, and eat obsessive amounts of dark chocolate. She is a two-time demolition derby champion, a doggy foster mom, and paid her way through college by clowning around.

Rest Inn Peace is her fifth book. It’s like tattoos. She couldn’t stop at just one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh Out Loud Funny!!!!

From the very first sentence my mind was piqued if the title had not already captured my curiosity. I was truly looking forward to what was coming next. I loved their take on the afterlife process. With every step through the afterlife journey authors Bonnie Bernard and Doug Skinner puts a hilarious comedic spin on it. You will find yourself laughing out loud!!! And Yes, I have to say it “Ain’t it the Shit”!!! I don’t care who you are, what your religion is, or even if you question if it truly is a Heaven and Hell? You will love this short read. I will be reading this one again and again….. Very well written and one of the funniest read I have read in a while. A definite 5 Stars!!!! One for the ages!!! (WaAr) read on 10 de Febrero/February 2014.

strong characterization, irreverent, and funny. I read it straight through, waiting for the punchline. Road Rash was definitely not predictable. On every page I wondered where it was headed and I wasn't disappointed when I got there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another gem from Bernard
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2014
You know, I really want a peek inside Bernard's brain, but I'm not sure I can handle all those curve balls coming at me at the same moment. I mean, really, where the heck does she come up with these stories? I'm sitting here shaking my head at this latest gem of hers and smiling. There isn't much I can say about the story without saying too much. How about, 'so it goes in the beginning, so it goes in the end'? The middle is just as confusing to me as the poor guys who lost his head in a motorcycle accident. It works though. The guy wakes up not knowing where he is, just happy his sense of humor is still intact. (So is Bernard's, fair warning.) Weird, huh?

Wayne Wright, comes out of that tunnel of light without a stitch on. Things just go crazy, funny, weird (pick one) from there. Everyone has a job and Wayne needs to learn his, so he better pay attention. If this is heaven, it's not exactly as he imagined it would be. I have to stop now before I just spill everything. Bernard must have been laughing when she wrote the last line, because I can't even think it with a straight face.

I love long stories. They give me a chance to get to know the characters, learn to love some and hate others. Anticipation builds, releases to rebuild again. Bernard has taught me there is something worthwhile to be found in short stories. I'm glad too. I would have missed out on a few reflexive smiles and some laughing had I not read not just this book, but her other short stories. I'm seriously doubting she could write a bad story even if she tried.

I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

3.0 out of 5 stars great story!
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2014
Road Rash by Bonnie Bernard and Doug Skinner is a very short novella about what happens once we die. It is actually very good and gives insight into what may or may not happen in the after life. I found it funny and a very light and quick read. I think this is yet another good story from these authors and would love to read more by them both.

5.0 out of 5 stars it is sort of like a comical hybridization of The Big Lebowski and the Five People You Meet in Heaven…with an absurd twist.
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2014
I loved Road Rash! I rate it as 5/5 stars, and recommend it as a quick, fun read for adults. Kudos to Bonnie Bernard for writing this little treasure and being among the handful of authors whose work makes me laugh aloud.
Road Rash is a wonderful, original, off-the-wall sort of book that kicks the mainstream fiction genre right in the face…then dumps a big ole bowl of coleslaw on top of it. The closest I can come to describing Bonnie Bernard’s quirky story is to say it is sort of like a comical hybridization of The Big Lebowski and the Five People You Meet in Heaven…with an absurd twist. The irreverence of the story works so well, partly because Wayne —who thinks he must have gotten in at the wrong gate because he’s Hell-bound for sure— has a prickly conscience that keeps poking at him. Don’t think the Harley dude’s gone soft, though. Even good guys get fed up sometime…and he is glad to have taken his last bite of that damned coleslaw his passive-aggressive wife, Tammy, slopped on his plate, year after year, every time he disappointed her.
There are so many funny concepts and lines in this story. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading. I probably shouldn’t have read it in bed, though. My husband did not appreciate my giggles, or having me read the funny parts of the book aloud to him at 1:00am…If he doesn’t watch it he’s going to get a big ole bowl of slaw for his 3-squares the next few days. I’ll write Tammy (care of Bonnie Bernard) and get her special recipe. That will fix him!
