Barbara Bentley grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, in a
middle-class, blue collar town. She graduated summa cum
laude with a BS in Marketing and was the Outstanding
Undergraduate of the Business School at Golden Gate
University in 1986. Her new degree allowed her to advance in
the Quality Assurance arena and she recently retired after a
thirty-nine year career.
When Bentley decided to write A DANCE WITH THE DEVIL to
help others, she didn't realize the story was not complete and
that, with passion, planning, patience and persistence, she
would go on to change the no-fault divorce law of California.
What she did realize was that she needed to learn how to write.
She read books, joined writing organizations, and attended
writing workshops.

Bentley willingly shares her experience whenever the
opportunity arises. She is a motivational speaker who has spoken to audiences numbering from ten
to four hundred for such diverse organizations as the American Association of University Women,
Soroptimists, the International Women’s Writing Guild, St. Mary’s University, Children’s Advocacy
Program and Diablo Valley College and was part of an all day seminar titled “Dream It, Do It.”
Bentley’s story generates public interest and was featured on the 2003 Lifetime Television show
FINAL JUSTICE hosted by Erin Brockovich.
Bentley believes she is one person who can make a difference. It is only by continuing exposure of
the psychopath’s techniques that the public can protect themselves from becoming another victim.
Bentley could never have imagined her recovery would be so hard won, or that a psychopath would
be so hard to lose.
Bentley lives in Northern California with her husband of eleven years, and their cat Sierra. She and
her husband are award-winning home wine and label makers who love to travel extensively around
the globe. (www.bentleycellars.com )
