Bernadette Jones has been making up stories since she learned to read on her daddy’s lap. She has imagined casts of characters everywhere she’s called home: Texas, Oregon, Washington, South Dakota, Nebraska, Illinois, Massachusetts, and now New York.
Books and music filled her life as she, her dad and two brothers traveled the country. She would sit in the back seat of the car—her older brother always got to ride shotgun—listening to the current music on the radio, looking out the window and spinning a story based on a phrase she’d heard in the lyrics. As you can imagine, traveling the country, the music changed from state to state, as did the stories. To this day, she enjoys a wide variety of music and book genres.
After a career in corporate writing, she’s decided to settle down and put pen to paper doing what she loves. Living the dream in her NYC apartment with her canine companion, she’s bringing her stories and characters to life.

Know the Hero from Mystery on Spirit Mountain (The MacKenzie Chronicles book 2)
Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.
It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?
He might call Danny who is a police officer in the mountainside town of Joshua, Arizona. They could meet for a beer at the Apparition Room. Or if one of his remodeling projects is challenging, he could roll out the plans on his drafting table and get a jumpstart for the morning. He enjoys his work so he’d find the task relaxing.
What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?
He loves those tiny circular cheeses wrapped in red wax.
Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.
Henley shirts, sleeves pushed to the elbows with jeans and boots when he’s on the job. Otherwise, you could find him in cargo shorts and sandals.
Does he know how to fix things?
He owns a construction company. There isn’t much this guy can’t fix. If it happens to be historical, he can tap into the energies left behind of past owners and bring back the original beauty.
He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
He lacks the gentle conversational touch at times. He wants to take his lifelong-friends relationship with Phaedra to a different level. When he tries to discuss his feelings, he blows it, and all he accomplishes is angering her.
How does he act around children he doesn’t know?
He’s a pushover. His winning smile and kind face draw them in for whatever fun and games they have in mind.
What is he like first thing in the morning?
He is ready to go the minute his feet hit the ground. Being in construction, he’s an early riser and loves to watch an Arizona mountain landscape take on the light while he sips his coffee.
Can he use chopsticks?
As talented as he is at building and fixing, he’s all thumbs with those skinny sticks.
Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?
He is a coffee drinker and takes it black.
What apps would he have on his phone?
Sports aps to stay up to date on football, baseball, and hockey scores.
Android or iPhone?
Android
Beard or clean-shaven?
Usually clean-shaven, but lately he’s had a bit of a shadow beard on some days. The secrets in the Big Purple House have him distracted. His bad-boy shadow beard has Phaedra distracted.
Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
No earrings or piercings, but he does wear a necklace his mother gave him before she died.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Joshua, AZ is so small, public transport is non-existent. He drives his truck or hikes it.
Recycle or toss?
Recycle for sure.
Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!

Genre Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Baaz Hamdi is a criminal, but he will do anything for his wife, Rahmah. So, when a setup lands Baaz in jail, his top priority is freedom, so he can have Rahmah back in his arms and in his bed. But to protect himself and his wife, Baaz can’t tell anyone where he is, not even Rahmah. Too many people could use his family against him. All he can do is wait and dream of his wife.
Abandoned with no money and an inconsolable baby, Rahmah grieves over Baaz’s disappearance. All seems lost until she meets a handsome stranger who helps her sort out her life. Despite her love for her husband, Rahmah is alone and desperate. Without a clue whether Baaz is alive, dead, or simply gone, Rahmah decides to end her marriage and rebuild her life.
But Baaz is hell-bent on returning to his rightful place in Rahmah’s bed and her life. The man who betrayed him is an obstacle Baaz can quickly dispose of. Baaz is out for blood and pussy.
Packed with moral ambiguity, intrigue, and steamy open-door scenes, Trapped in Sin will get your heart racing in more ways than one.

Romance
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
I don’t have one.
What are you working on at the moment?
Whew! My readers know I have a lot of irons in my literary fire. Presently, I am working to finish book four of the Brothers in Law series and a mafia romance for the Savage Bloodline collection. I am also working on the next book of this series and the first in my paranormal Noble Birth series. Which means, I need to get back to that keyboard!
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Drowning in Shallow Waters (Brothers in Law Book Four)
Emilio (Savage Bloodline Collection)
The Howler’s Siren (Noble Birth Book One)
Fighting Fate (A Timeless Romance Series Book)

Even if it means letting them go.
Why did you write this book?
When I was young, we moved into an old house on the side of a mountain. There was only one other child my age nearby. We were running in the woods when I saw a little girl who was very pale with white hair watching us play. The kid I was with told me to ‘stay away from her’ because she looked funny and wasn’t normal. I thought she looked like a beautiful angel.
Growing up we moved often and I understood what it was like to be ignored because I dressed differently or had a different accent.I never forgot her.
I fell in love with a secondary character from a previous book, Deke Ward. Instantly I knew he was the perfect hero for the girl I remembered from my childhood.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Romantic Suspense

Gabriel Sinclair, from Double Dealing by Jayne Castle
What are you working on at the moment?
