‘Laugh out loud’ adventures, romance, travel, drama and the occasional villain, this is a true story that had to be written. Growing up in Malibu California as the daughter of an English scientist, Bernadette was surrounded by brains, books, inventions, and famous people. Her father Bernard Benson wrote “The Peace Book”, a classic which led to a private interview and photos with Pope John Paul II, and a worldwide following.
When the family moved to a 40 room castle in Dordogne, France, scientist Werner von Braun came to visit, Prince Rainier of Monaco bought an antique car from Bernard's collection, and high ranking Tibetain Lamas visited from their exile in India. A Tibetan Center was built on land the family donated, and spiritual seekers from around the world attend the summer teachings.
Travels to Italy, South Africa, Brazil and the Seychelles led to a visit with friends on a secret island in the Bahamas. There Bernadette met her husband and two years later her daughter was born, creating the foundation for HONEY ENGLISH, the dazzling descriptions therein, and the profound viewpoints.
Bernadette now resides between Florida and Massachusetts, and is the creator of the website Girlstocks.com, a free 'How To' for women; 5EasySteps to learning the basics of investing online, focusing on Green Stocks under $5.
