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.

Meet Bernadette Jones @RomanceBJones Author of Another Night Alone #RLFblog #RomanticSuspense
How far will a man go to protect everything he never knew he wanted in Bernadette Jones the latest book, Another Night Alone.
Bernadette welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Another Night Alone.
Another Night Alone by Bernadette Jones
Genre Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
She’d had the courage to save her child. Will she be able to save herself?
Avie’s dreams of a better future for herself and her daughter are shattered when the shadows of their past threaten their new life. With their dreams on the line once again, Avie knows giving in will cost her everything, but is she strong enough to fight back?
She is the light to his dark…
Deke Ward has witnessed true evil in his life. When he finds the goodness in Avie and her young daughter, he’ll do anything to protect them. Their hope starts to heal his lonely heart and when the evil shadows of their past return to haunt them, he’ll go to hell and back to save them.
Even if it means letting them go.
Tell us about yourself as a person.
What makes you different from other people?
Growing up we moved— A LOT! Which meant starting over every time in a new city or state.
What is your personality type?
I’m what most people call an extroverted introvert (an Ambivert). I can be social when required, but am most comfortable in my own space.
I learned very early to be quiet, listen and watch because kids can be brutal. If you were shy and unobtrusive most kids would leave you alone. As I aged, I realized how important it was to sound like the other kids and learned to pick-up whatever the local accent was from down south to the east and west coasts. I still tend to do this when traveling or at conferences.
During this time, books and music on the radio were my constant companions. I credit my growing up experiences as the time that started my writing career. I learned to read at a very early age and driving down the interstate I could read my books in the daylight but at night I relied on the radio. A line in a song would catch my attention and a story would start to build. When? Where? Why? and What if? are still my favorite game to play. I can still remember the first song that spurred a story. I even remember asking my dad if Garreth (the character in my first story) was a real name.
I fell in love with mysteries and soon my internal stories took on a suspense and danger angle. Next I found one of my grandmother’s Georgette Heyer books and there was no turning back.
Finally after a few other careers I find myself doing what I have always wanted to do with my life. I am a Romantic Suspense writer. My stories deal with love, loss, hate, envy, greed, regret, disappointment and so many other emotions that we all experience. Most importantly, there are families.
I write with six other authors in the Aspen Gold Series which is set in the fictitious town of Spencer, Colorado. Each author writes their own style of book, some sweet, some sexy, some paranormal, but all set in Spencer. All the books are standalone.
My books are essentially a series within a series. My characters have made a family, bound by friendships which is just as strong (maybe stronger) than blood. Hunter Lawe and Ruby from Sleepin’ Alone have created their chosen family. Another Night Alone is the most recent addition. But don’t miss my short story, Racing Heart, about the Gonzales family in Yesterday’s Promise, an Aspen Gold Short Story Collection.
Come visit the family. I think you’ll feel welcomed and at home.
Look for JackDaniels and Breezy’s story, A Better Man, coming out in early 2022.
PS: I’d love to hear what you think of the new covers!

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
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
Gabriel Sinclair, from Double Dealing by Jayne Castle
What are you working on at the moment?
I have a short story, Racing Hearts, coming out in the Aspen Gold, Yesterday’s Promise Anthology due out in September.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
My next Aspen Gold Book will be A Better Man. This is the story of JackDaniels and Breezy who readers have met in my other Aspen Gold books.After that I have a four book solo series that I plan to release next year.
