Bonnie Bley is an award-winning author whose work explores identity, place, and justice in the American West. Born in Wyoming and raised in Hardin, Montana—a border reservation town in the southeastern corner of the state—her formative years deeply shaped her storytelling and commitment to advocacy. Her academic journey took her to South Dakota and Minnesota, where she sharpened her research and writing skills. Since the late 1980s, she has called Minnesota home, though her creative and emotional connections to Montana and Wyoming remain at the heart of her work. In Stolen Voices: Missing and Murdered in Big Horn County, Bley brings to light the stories of Indigenous people who have tragically gone missing or been murdered in the very county where she grew up. Through intimate interviews, investigative research, and gripping storytelling, she offers a deeply personal and urgent account of a national crisis too often ignored. Passionate about advocacy and community service, Bley also volunteers with Big Brothers Big Sisters, The Wildcat Sanctuary, and Feed My Starving Children. Her work amplifies voices that deserve to be heard while striving to inspire awareness and change. https://www.bonniebley.com/index.html
