When I finally decided to read <em>The Notebook<\/em>, it really got me. I think because my father-in-law, who I was absolutely crazy about, had just been diagnosed with Alzheimer\u2019s. The story was just too damned close to real life given my in-laws\u2019 love story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HEA:<\/strong> What would you choose as your mascot\/avatar? Why? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SB:<\/strong> I\u2019ve been told a number of times that my spirit animal is a dragon. She\u2019s fierce, protective mother energy. Ancient and wise, connected to Earth and its rich history by her seven primary chakras. All of this resonates with me deeply. As an anthropologist, this energy is how I filter and perceive people and my surroundings, particularly cultures and ancient sites and structures. It\u2019s not unusual to see me in tears because I become so overcome by reverence for the energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HEA:<\/strong> What\u2019s the most difficult thing about writing characters from the opposite sex?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SB:<\/strong> Not making each man the same. Luca is not Bane and Bane is not\u2026 Nor are any of them\u2026 Oh, I can\u2019t let those cats out of the bag yet, so to speak. Lol. (I have two works in process.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SB:<\/strong> I model each of my heroes based on a combination of men I know, or I\u2019d like to meet. Aspects of my husband are within each of my heroes\u2014perfectly imperfect with strong moral fiber. Protective, respectful, nurturing, sensitive, and able to be vulnerable while also being unapologetically male. Both Luca Fierro and Bane Rua have these traits. However, they are very different men in size, appearance, movement, language, perception of their world, and in how they approach women and colleagues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HEA:<\/strong> Do you hide any secrets in your books that only a few people will find?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SB:<\/strong> Oh, yes! It\u2019s been fun when someone finds one or more of them and says something to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HEA:<\/strong> How long on average does it take you to write a book?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SB:<\/strong> That\u2019s tough to answer. Without beta reads and edits, I\u2019d say eight months. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3hspvab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ancient Passages<\/a> is adventure romance with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heanovelthoughts.com\/suspense-books-summer-2020\/\">suspense<\/a>, taking place in cultures I\u2019m passionate about and have spent time in. The underpinnings of the stories are factual, and the setting are themselves characters. Because things continue to evolve and more discoveries about the past are always being made, research is necessary. I want my readers to be <em>there<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/30LQlUL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Afraid to Fall<\/a><\/em> took its shape as I discussed my son\u2019s country and culture of origin with him and when I reflected on my last trip to Guatemala. Then after it was published, I \u201csat\u201d with <em>Afraid to Hope<\/em> for months because I couldn\u2019t figure out who \u201che\u201d was, how to create the man for Nat. She\u2019s one accomplished badass and so different than Ariana (Ari) Antony, who is equally wonderful but in a different way. Well, Bane popped into my head one morning, along with his name, actually woke me up from a sound sleep, and embedded himself so deeply in my head that he took over. I had to tone him down so I could write her. He was crowding her out. Uh-uh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2UM0SeK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Afraid to Love<\/a><\/em> is set to release in early 2021, in Italy.

Also, my characters tend to be vocal about how they want things to go.

At this point, it\u2019s Nat (Dr. Natasha Jordaan). I get her. I didn\u2019t expect to, but I fell in love with her. That realization came out of nowhere one day when I was writing and it made me cry (hm, I guess it was my book that most recently made me cry, lol). Nat\u2019s history is what makes her such a badass and it was so much fun to flesh her out. I don\u2019t know if this is cool, but admittedly I couldn\u2019t stand her for most of <em>Afraid to Fall<\/em>, but the story needed her just like it needed Eric, Meg, Tata, Carlos, and Joan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HEA:<\/strong> If a reader discovers your books today, where would you recommend they start reading?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SB:<\/strong> Begin with <em>Afraid to Fall<\/em>, Ancient Passages Book 1.
