Welcome everyone. Today I am interviewing Thonie Hevron. Thonie has had a long public safety career touching many departments and positions. She is now an accomplished author with 3 books to her credit as well as having works in several anthologies.
About The Author
In 1973, on a dare, Thonie tested with San Rafael Police Department for Parking Enforcement Officer. Yes, she got the job and became Rita the Meter Maid for three years. In 1981, she got a job with Petaluma Police as a Community Service Officer and dispatcher. 1983 brought a divorce and after seven years on the street, she traded jobs with a dispatcher and went inside.
Thonie moved to Bishop, California where she worked as a dispatcher for Bishop PD. Then, in 2004, again, she was offered a job she couldn’t refuse–dispatcher for Rohnert Park Department of Public Safety. Thrilled to be back in Sonoma County, she finally retired in 2011 after a cumulative 35 years of service.
Now focused on fiction writing, she takes a break with fitness workouts and cycling with Danny and riding horses. Thonie’s job history gives her a rich and textured understanding of the complex life of the men and women behind the badge. She looks forward to penning the stories she has lived in law enforcement.
