Local author and CPA Bonnie Lee presents her novel, The Card Game, at Readers' Books on Wednesday, June 14th, with a reception at 5:30 and a reading at 6 p.m. When a shared friend dies and Minnie, Sarah, and Jeannette are tasked with cleaning out the home of their deceased friend, the three women realize that their lives didn't turn out the way they were expecting; indeed all of them are looking at dead-end futures. The discovery of a cache of credit cards among their friend's belongings offers them a chance to live a little—or maybe a lot! After all, who would track the fraudulent charges back to them? Starting with a road-trip across the US and ending up fleeing debt collectors by going to Spain, this wild ride will sweep readers away. 

Bonnie Lee is a CPA representing taxpayers in all fifty states and is the author of fiction and nonfiction about life, love, and the IRS. The Card Game is her fourth book and first full-length novel, following Taxpertise, The Complete Book of Dirty Little Secrets and Tax Deductions for Small Business that the IRS Doesn't Want You to Know (Entrepreneur Press 2009). Her tax novella for writers and other creatives is Taxpertise for the Creative Mind, because she "can’t think of a single artist who wants to read a straight up tax book.” Its sequel, Taxpertise: The Heist, 50 Shades of Green, is a fictional comedy adventure that provides factual tips and resolutions for the tax troubled. She is working on the third novella in the series on the topic of taxes and divorce. Bonnie Lee lives and writes in Sonoma, CA.
