So, looks like we’re going to have some fun today, chatting and I hope having a few laughs… For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Denysé Bridger – Award winning author of many romances and fantasy works! Here’s a quick bio to kick things off….
Canadian born and bred, and a lifelong dreamer, I began writing at an early age and can’t recall a time when I wasn’t creating in some artistic form. My life has had several on-going love affairs that shape much of what I write, the American West, Victorian England, cowboys, a passion for pirates, Greek Gods, and Ancient Egypt. The other endless love affair in my life is Italia and all its magic, beauty, and dazzling culture. That passion spills into all aspects of my life.
My first major fantasy novel is AS FATE DECREES. (Available in bookstores everywhere, and on Amazon’s international sites.) The novel relies heavily on Greek Mythology, and is set in Ancient Greece and modern Athens. If you enjoy a tale of Gods, Destiny, and the battles of an Eternal Champion, this is the book for you! (Less than six months after publication, it was a finalist for the 2008 Aurora Award.) Not surprisingly, there’s a touch of romance throughout, of course! A visit to my website will show the diversity of what is currently available, and the mixing of genres and styles that will be employed in many up-coming projects as well.
I’m sort of… well… everywhere, so if you want to keep up with the madness that usually follows me around, these are my usual haunts! And there are always impromptu contests, and other fun stuff… have to keep life interesting:

Now that we have that out of the way all formal-like – what would you, the readers, like to know about? I’ll be in and out all day, will happily post excerpts and host a contest or two… but I’d really love to make this day about you and what you’d like, so talk to me!! Ask questions you’d like to know, and tell me what you’d like to see me post for your enjoyment!
Back soon… and thanks!! Looking forward to a great day with everyone!!

14 years agoHi Denyse! 😀
You sound like you’re *uber* busy with all those projects at the same time – how on earth do manage to juggle everything?
I see you love italy too – what is your favourite thing about Italian men??

14 years agoHi there! Colleen – will be slipping in a sexy sneak peek later on for my very first “Cougar” tale and maybe even a peek at the next installment in the Game of Seduction set.
Lisa – Italian men…. WOW – so many things…. passion, charm, MANNERS, sexy accents…. mostly I think what I love most about Italian men is that they treat women with respect and a kind of near reverence in many ways – I’ve seen it in the way I’m treated by the wonderful men I know.
Time… OMG, there is never enough time to keep up with my imagination and stories – I wish there was – there’s so much I want to do!!!
Hugs and Love….

14 years agoSo as someone who is (very) active in the genre, and on-line like this, what do you think of the internet and being an author? Do you think it helps you network and interact with fans? Do you ever feel like it takes up more time than you want it to?
I’d be very interested in how you view the role of the internet for the modern author. 🙂

14 years ago@TwistedHilarity – Honestly, there are many, many days when it seems the “business” of writing takes up all the time there is – and the actual “art” of writing falls by hte wayside. I think the internet is fabulous, and it’s made meeting readers from all over the world such an amazing experience, but yes, it takes up way too much time that used to be spent in actual creating….. It’s a necessary reality, though, so you have to enjoy it, or you will really resent it – and that will take all the joy out of every aspect of this craft….
Thanks for coming by, Sapphire – and you, as wall, TH.
