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.

Please tell me about your hero.
Age: 33
Gender: very male
Birthplace: Chicago
Profession: Mechanic
What does your hero look like?
Huge. He’s always been large, at 6’2″ with broad shoulders and chest. He works out daily, because his past careers as a bounty hunter and MMA fighter made staying in shape essential.
Who is the significant other in his life?
Keira Hoa Thi. He found her on a storm buffeted highway. She’s in trouble and he vows to protect her.
The Hero’s Relaxed Side
This hero is at a party. Considering his story, describe the party.
He’s at a house warming party after he and his friends have helped paint and move his buddy and wife into their new home. There will be beer, pizza and a lot of joking around.
How does the hero feel about being this particular party, and what body language is he displaying that gives it away?
There will be moments where he relaxes against a wall and soaks in the camaraderie and comfort of knowing he has a chosen family.
Is he more likely to mingle or remain aloof?
He will do a little of both. But his nature is to watch and guard those that are important to him so he will always be a touch alloof and on guard.
If he drinks, what is his drink of choice at this party?
He’ll have a beer or maybe a shot of whiskey, but he never allows himself too much. He really likes water and juice.
How much drink is his usual?
One or two.
The hero figures out where the hiding places are and then goes there. Is it to hide, to avoid someone, or to go drag a friend back to the party?
He choses his friends wisely. Most of them are hard-working and ex-military. They watch out for each other. If someone is having a problem, he’s in their space helping them out or setting them straight.
Is he likely to latch onto a friend and stay with him/her and ignore others, or is he the friend that others latch onto?
He has his circle of friends and they all watch out for each other. They mingle equally.
If someone picked a fight at this party, how is the hero going to handle it?
He will break it up and then set both parties down and get it straightened out.
Is the hero the one most likely to get tossed out of the party, or the one who does the tossing?
Definitely do the tossing.
Will he know when to leave, or stay late and make a nuisance of himself?
Always knows when to leave.
The Hero’s Stressed Out Side
How does the hero handle it if the cops or some other authority figure pulls him aside when he was blameless in a situation?
Immediately starts strategizing his best response and plays to whatever will settle the situation quickly. He is a chameleon playing whatever part he needs to.
How does the hero react to hearing a scream?
Immediately moves to find the source and the reason. He is quick and quiet.
If he sees someone being assaulted, what is the FIRST thing that crosses his mind?
Assess the situation and the location. Could there be more assailants on the way? What are his best defensive strategies for the location?
If he sees someone being assaulted, what is the FIRST thing he does?
Separates the combatants, then finds out who started it and why.
This hero attempts to rescue someone and realizes that he is in over his head. The odds are against him and there is no way out. He is going to get his butt handed to him. What does he do?
Never give up. Think with your head, use your brawn to your advantage.
The hero runs into the one person from his past he wanted to avoid. He can’t get out of the situation and must interact in some way. What does he do?
Always aware of what is going on around him. He would see the person first and if he doesn’t want to be seen, he will disappear.
Someone younger than the hero is in charge of the situation, and they are handling it badly, perhaps bungling things. How does the hero deal with it?
He will always attempt to instruct and educate, but if there is danger involved he will take over.
The hero is in physical pain but must bear up under it and keep going. What does he tell himself in order to get through the situation?
He trains in several martial arts and was a street fighter. Pain is part of life. He blanks it out.
What mentor’s words come to mind in a bad situation?
He’s relied on himself for a very long time. He has a ‘just do it’ attitude.
What lesson from his past gets him through a stressful situation?
Think it through and never give up.
What one thing would you like readers to know about your hero?
He’s lost a lot of people he loved. Once he takes you on as his chosen family he will protect you with his life.

Stay A Little Longer by Bernadette Jones
Genre Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
The Healer
Doctor Gage Ewing is on the run from a past he can never forget. No matter how many people he saves in hospitals or on the crime-ridden streets, he can never be forgiven for the one who died. Spencer, Colorado was supposed to be another temporary stop on his neverending road. But he made a mistake. He got involved.
The Soldier
IrishMist “Ivy” Vaughn has been fighting to stay alive since the age of twelve, trained with warrior skills to be whatever is demanded of her. No permanent home. Living out of a duffel bag. Changing personas at the ring of a phone. Spencer, Colorado was supposed to be a place to bury her past and start over. Will they let her walk away?
Sometimes the past won’t let you go.
Let’s bare it all and chat about what to wear
First, what is your name and how old are you?
Gage Ewing and I’m 38
Considering the role you play in society, what is expected for you to wear?
I’m a doctor and most of the time I’m in scrubs.
Ever required to wear something you don’t like? Tell us about it.
I avoid formal occasions like the plague. I hate suits and ties. Not my thing. I’m more comfortable in a leather jacket, jeans and biker boots.
What kind of shoes or boots do you wear?
Redwings
When others see you what is their first impression?
Depends on where they see me. At the hospital, people are surprised by my ink. When I’m out and about in my normal gear and they hear me referred to as Doc, people do a double take. I look more like a biker.
What do you wear to sleep?
Nothing. If I’m alone I want to feel the cool sheets. If I have my lady with me I want to feel every inch of her pressed against me.
Tell us what your author wears when writing about you.
My writer lady wears leggings, tank tops with oversized shirts, and fuzzy slippers.
If your author has a pet, is the pet ever dressed in clothing?
She has this fluffy ball of fur that’s about 15 pounds and in the winter she dresses him in a coat. When the temps drop below zero she has a pair of plaid long johns for him. I laugh my ass off when she puts those on him.

Once upon a time a group of writer friends–helping a member with a particularly difficult thread in a continuity series contrived by her editors–got the grandiose idea to create a continuity series of their own.
Yes, this was us, and we threw ourselves wholeheartedly into developing characters, fashioning families, family dynamics, and a setting, which evolved from one member’s love of all things Colorado. We created family trees, character profiles, detailed maps, brainstormed titles and themes. We collected photos and researched and even started the stories. We proposed our idea to a few publishers and got no traction. So, after a time the contracted books came first, two members dropped out of the group, a couple new ones came and went. But the core group remained.
In a tragic turn of events we lost a beloved friend and co-writer. Grief took the remaining wind from our sails. We recovered slowly, welcomed a new friend to our critique group. Then came a day when we got together and said, “We’re going to get serious and do this!” Energy built, and the series took on new life. A previous co-creator joined us again. Now, here we are, years after the initial idea, sharing the finished stories with you and hoping you will feel the same intensity and appreciation for this project as we do.
We have many more stories to share, and the ideas keep coming. Look for more books to follow in Aspen Gold: The Series.
