This is our second post about our wonderfully talented authors.  Our newest Author Lyoness Bradley, grew up a mere 5 miles from our first featured author Jean Marie Stanberry, but remarkably, the two didn’t know each other.

Lyoness contacted Jean after reading her Bio on Amazon’s website, after she read Jean’s book “Laying Low In Hollywood”.  “It was weird, says Lyoness, our lives were so similar, we may have even crossed paths in the past, but fate never truly brought us together.”

Lyoness Bradley grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri.  She admits she had a very privileged upbringing, in fact, her father was the principal of at her private high school, which Lyoness says, pretty much ruined her high school years.

Lyoness wanted to write a book to help young girls to spread their wings.  Lyoness said her own parents were very controlling, she didn’t get much of a chance to think with her own mind until she went away to college.

“An Imperfect World” is the story of her journey from a blatantly manipulated teenager, to a woman who finally feels free to follow her heart.  In high school in 1979, Lyoness fell in love with another student, who was black.  Her parents forbid her to see him at all and even threatened his life.  Lyoness, fearing for his life, broke off the relationship and eventually married a family friend.  Though she grew to love her husband, she never forgot about her first love.  “An Imperfect World” is a fictitious account of her love affair.

Today Lyoness is an accomplished lawyer and enjoys writing and traveling.  She penned her most recent novel while on a transatlantic cruise to Portugal.  Lyoness will soon release her newest novel “One Small Bite” it is in the final editing stages and is due for release in late April or May.
