Cris Bonser

Cris Bonser is a writer, teacher at heart, and lifelong lover of games, learning, and meaningful connection. She creates books that blend humor, encouragement, practical wisdom, and the joy of gathering, often inspired by the lessons found around the Mahjong table and in everyday life.

A passionate Mahjong instructor and player, Cris has seen firsthand how games can build confidence, sharpen thinking, and create lasting friendships.

She also hosts *If These Tiles Could Talk — Mahjong Musings with Cris Bonser*, a podcast where table stories, practical lessons, and good-natured humor come together. With a welcoming spirit and a willingness to laugh at herself, she invites listeners into the Mahjong world, where there’s always room to learn and another friendship waiting to begin.

Whether teaching Mahjong strategy, sharing laugh-out-loud table truths, or exploring life's meaningful moments, Cris writes books that readers love to share, gift, and return to often.

When she’s not writing or behind the microphone, Cris enjoys biking, camping, family time, and unhurried moments outdoors. Through her books, podcast, and teaching, she invites others to discover joy and meaning woven into the ordinary.
