Goodreads asked Flora Reigada:

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

Flora Reigada The idea came during a walk my husband, son and I took in the countryside of upstate New York. Wind was stirring the treetops, while a flock of birds sang in the branches. We were enjoying it all, when my son asked a question.

"What would you do if the wind stopped blowing, the birds stopped singing and eveything became eerily still? Then suddenly, the birds launch into the sky, squaking and frantically flapping their wings, as if to escape some danger. Looking to your side you see a mother bear with cubs. The mother bear looks your way and begins running. How would you react?"

This word picture inspired the opening scene in my romantic mystery, "Love's Sweetest Revenge" to be published by "Helping Hands Press." It describes the life and death situation faced by main character, Liz Bertelli. What would she do and could any good possibly come out of an encounter with a bear?

Find out in "Love's Sweetest Revenge," coming soon.
