About the Author

Ronald A. Bonnick was born in the district of BEACON, located in a picturesque plateau, overlooking the Great Pedro Bluff and the small resort area known as Treasure Beach, in the parish of St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, West Indies. A son of David Bonnick and Beatrice Whyte of the same parish, he claims ancestral lineage to the famous Barrett family and the Ashanti tribe of Ghana. On his father’s side, he is the great grandson of Ellen Barrett, a cousin of Elizabeth Barrett-Browning, and on his mother’s side, he is a descendant of the only female national hero of Jamaica whose name is nanny of the Maroons. Her two brothers Charles Cudjoe (Kojo) and Accompong, defeated the British army several times, and a state was created within a state, named Accompong, in St. Elizabeth, to appease the Maroons. Rom these families, the author claims his ancestry with many others, too numerous to mention. A British trained detective for nine years, he served the Jamaica Police Force for over thirteen years, as well as, being the industrial safety officer or Seprod Group of Companies, a job he resigned and migrated to the United States in 1970.

He is a graduate of the New York City Institute of Technology, and Bernard M. Baruch College of the City University of New York. He is a historian and author, as well as a free lance lecturer in Seventh Day Adventist Theology and Principles, also International Affairs and Political Science. His motto: Anything worthwhile that happened in the universe, he wants to know about it. He is married, and is the father of three sons, two daughters, and fourteen grandchildren. He lives in Cambria Heights, New York for the past twenty-five years, and his goal is to just keep on writing novels, history, politics, and religion.
