Bonny Beswick answered Millicent Eidson's question: 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.
