But my genre switching may go further than you suspect. I have written an investment guide — ''The Wealth Builders Guide'', a serial mystery book with SF-great Philip Jose Farmer — ''Naked Came the Farmer'', and a story about Neanderthals interacting with humans 40,000 years ago, just out now with a new Kindle edition — ''The Night of the Eleventh Sun''.
* '''BB: ''Nazis'' and ''bayous'' are two subjects which most people would not ordinarily associate together. Yet these subjects are the foundation on which ''Nazi Saboteurs of the Bayou '' are built. How did you come to put them together for this historical thriller?'''
SB: It was not until I visited the National WWII Museum in New Orleans that I came to grasp the central role that city played in winning the war. The steel-ramped landing boats that made beach landings possible at Normandy and North Africa and on every Pacific island were designed and built in New Orleans by the hundreds each month and mostly with unskilled labor. While it is a well-established fact that Nazi saboteurs targeted East Coast steel mills and boat assembly yards as part of Operation Pastorius, I theorized that the Higgins boat plants might be targeted by the Nazis as well. On this premise I built the central storyline. The idea began to take shape as I studied the full-scale model of a restored Higgins boat parked in the lobby of this wonderful American museum.
