Hi Bonny, can you share how the work you're writing now is inspired by the natural world? Growing up in the Southwest, I can relate--I'm in love with those landscapes and cultures. That's why I initially set my Maya Maguire Microbial Mysteries in that area. My book covers are always photos of the environment related to the story, and I have a theme of climate change as the criminal driving disease threats.

Bonny Beswick I'm now editing book two of a women's series based in Argentina (and Scotland). Both books one and two will be released later this year.
I have prairie dust and horse hair in my blood, and writing my protagonist's growing love of the pampas in Argentina was the best thing about writing her story.
When I picture the setting, I think of it as another character in the book, and hope I can someday do it as well as Jane Harper does in "The Dry" with the Australian outback.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Bonny Beswick Believe it or not, I got the idea for my current project from my 14 year old niece! When she was ten, she wrote a little story and gave it to me as a Christmas present.
I combined the setting for her book with the visuals of the amazing Antelope Canyon in Arizona), and came up with a story that's a little bit fantasy, a little bit history, and a little bit romance. translated it into a book that defies traditional genre classifications. It's a bit of fantasy, a bit of romance and a bit of history.
I'm at the editing stage now, but hope to have it published in early 2021.
