Interview with Bridget Midway:
Hi Bridget. Thank you for doing this interview. I would like to welcome you to the Romance at Heart Interview and Author Grilling session. *bg* We are interested to find out as much about you as we possibly can, so lets get started...
- Please tell us about your latest book.
My latest published book is a contemporary erotica called “Walls”, published by Phaze. It’s a story about a woman who’s been watching a man in a diner for a few weeks. But then things turn around on her and the watcher suddenly becomes the focus of attention.
- What can we expect from you in the future?
I’m hoping to give readers the unexpected. I don’t want readers to get bored with me or think they know what I’m going to do next. That’s why I’m glad my first published work was “Adam and E-V-E” a science fiction erotic romance and my next published work was “Walls”, an erotica, no romance in it at all.
I have four other works contracted with three different publishers. All of the stories are different from each other. I have an erotic romance called “Chances” about two co-workers, an erotic romance (if you can call an erotica story with a married couple a romance) coming through through Venus Press. "Fascination Street" is about four couples in a neighborhood where everyone swaps partners.
- How do we find out about you and your books?
Readers can go to my website at Bridget Midway.com and get current news about my works and even read exclusive excerpts.
- How may readers contact you?
Readers can e-mail me at Bridget@BridgetMidway.com, or they can go to my website at Bridget Midway.com and sign my guestbook under my Contact Me page, or they can post a note on my blog at Bridget's Blog.
- What about your family, do they know not to bother you when you are writing - or are there constant interruptions?
Oh I have my family trained at this point. LOL They know not to bother me. When the door is closed, that means I’m working.
- What kind of research do you do?
"Fascination Street" and another manuscript I’ve submitted called "Interpersonal Skills" both have BDSM elements to them. To research about that lifestyle, I contacted a local BDSM group. They have allowed me to sit in on their meetings and watch their “play” parties. It’s been a great experience. Very eye-opening to say the least. And for the wife swapping/swinging aspect of "Fascination Street", I corresponded with a woman who swings in her marriage. Her openness and honesty really helped me bring authenticity to the story.
- Fill in the blank favorites -
Dessert: Apple pie
City: New York City
Season: Spring
Type of hero: Alpha but funny
Type of heroine: Strong…but funny
- What book for you has been the easiest to write? The hardest? The most fun?
“Walls” flowed for me. For some reason the voice of my protagonist popped in my head and I just wrote what she told me to write. So that one was the easiest. "Fascination Street" was very hard to write because there were so many sex scenes (not that that’s a bad thing LOL) and at times it was hard to get the pronouns straight. But it was fun to write because I got to do a lot of playing. I tried a lot of different things.
- Which comes first, the story, the characters or the setting?
It depends. Sometimes, like with “Adam and E-V-E” I think of the characters first. Then for something like "Fascination Street", it’s the story that strikes me first.
- What question would you love to answer that I didn't ask?
About my sex life, the answer is yes.
Now you didn’t say to ASK the question. Just answer it...
Thank you Bridget, very much, for taking the time with us and answering our questions. I really appreciate this interruption to your busy schedule. Good Luck, and we will be looking forward to the next delightful creation from your talented imagination! That will be Fascination Street we hope? LOL
Yours in good reading,
Rose!
