FASCINATION STREET as a TV series?!

Well, not my book Fascination Street exactly. But CBS will be airing a TV show with the same swingin' theme in a new show called, appropriately enough, "Swingtown". I knew I wasn't off the mark with my book topic! Of course, though, the biggest differences between my book and the show are their show is set in the 70's, when swapping wives got noticed (you know people have been doing it for a long time, right?) and the show has the folks doing drugs. No drugs in my book. Just clean, wholesome fun. Hey, stop laughing!

Here's the show site: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/swingtown/

And here's a link to their sneak preview: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/swingtown/video/video.php?cid=717764563

I hope they put the videos online. As risque as the show is, I doubt they will. Until then, I highly suggest that if you haven't gotten Fascination Street yet, that you get it! Available in ebook and in paperback:

The Fantastic Four

That tricky sista Laura Bacchi tagged me...again! My ass is draggin' from all of the tags! Now I have to name four things about myself. Read and learn.

Four jobs I've had or currently have in my life:
1. Movie theater projectionist (no, not at a porn theater either)
2. Bank teller supervisor
3. Electric Utility dispatcher
4. A pager (I guess that's what you call it. Before Blackberries, iPhones and text messaging, my job was to type and send alpha-numeric messages to people's pagers.)

Four countries I've been to:
1. Canada
2. Mexico
3. Mybackyardia
4. Myfrontyardia (okay, the last two are made up. You couldn't guess that?)

Four places I'd rather be right now:
1. On the cover of Romantic Times BOOKreviews magazine
2. On Oprah's chair being interviewed by her
3. In bed (oh wait, I'm there right now)
4. Writing (wait, I'm doing that, too)

Four foods I like to eat:
1. String cheese
2. Strawberry yogurt
3. Sweet potato chips
4. Prime rib

Four personal heroes, past or present:
1. My mom
2. My sisters
3. My brother
4. The Jimmy

Four books you've read or are currently reading:
1. Brittany by Loretta R. Walls
2. Doubletake by Monique Lamont
3. A Walk In The Rain by Denise Jeffries
4. The English Detective and The Rookie Agent by Pat White

Four words or phrases you would like to see used more often:
1. Please
2. Thank you
3. Excuse me
4. New York Times best-selling author, Bridget Midway.

Four reasons for ending a friendship:
1. Lying
2. Betrayal
3. Lack of communication
4. Trying to fuck my man

Four smells that make you feel good about the world:
1. Rain on a spring day
2. The smell of a puppy's breath
3. Roses in bloom
4. The way my man smells when he comes home from work

My question: Four favorite cartoons from your childhood:
1. Bugs Bunny
2. Thundercats
3. Jem
4. Transformers

Time to tag someone else... How about Monique Lamont, Shara Lanel and Samara King?

I've been tagged...again and again!

The fun never ends. I've been tagged again, once on my My Space blog and again here. This time I've been tagged by Yvette Hines.

Here are the rules:

1. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
2.People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
4. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

Here are my eight interesting facts. Enjoy!

1.) I love cheese sticks. That's probably why I'm the weight that I am.

2.) I love "Reno 911!"

3.) I into Broadway showtunes. It's nothing to hear me belt out a showtune for no reason.

4.) I love purses and shoes.

5.) I've never shot a gun and have no desire to do so.

6.) I met the governor of Virginia when I was a teenager.

7.) Growing up, my skin reacted so badly to metals that I broke out whenever I wore anything metal. So no watches with metal backing, earrings, bracelets, necklaces or rings. I've grown out of that now. Shower me with jewels!

8.) The very first car I ever owned was a 1982 Ford Escort. I got in an accident and smashed it all to hell.

Okay, now to pass along the torture to 8 others.

1. Laura Bacchi
2. A.C. Arthur
3. Marie Rochelle
4. Seressia Glass
5. Anna Fallon
6. Aurora Black
7. Lena Matthews
8. Aliyah Burke

Happy New Year to all of my sexy bitches!

Happy New Year, folks! You know, however you started the new year is how the rest of your year will go. So if you slept your way through it, you'll have a peaceful year. If you partied like it was 1999 (yeah, doing the retro thing) then you'll be a partying fool in 2007. If you brought the year in with a bang like I, uh, well some people may have, then you'll go through the year with the biggest grin on your face! However your New Year started, here's hoping for a great one for you!

Speaking of which, I hate, hate, HATE the whole resolutions thing. I think people just set themselves up for failure. That said, I did resolve to do things differently in my new year. First and foremost, I'm going to post more often on my blog. I've been neglecting you, my babies, and that's got to stop. Secondly, I'm going to write more and, hopefully, publish more. I'm really pushing myself to produce longer books. I'll still give you short works to whet your appetites. But I've really got to build up my writing endurance. Plus it's my goal to get published by the big NY boys someday.

Hey, that's it! It's not resolutions. It's goals! So my goals for this year are to blog more, write more, love more.

So to get started on my goals, I have to bounce. Hope you all will join me on my New Year's journey!

Stay sexy,
BridgeT

I'm feeling naughty today

I woke up this morning feeling a bit, as Austin Powers would say, randy today. I don't know what it is. Well, yeah, I do. Hee! Hee! But anyway, I'm so thrilled that my novella "Public Domain" has been re-released! Whoo! Hoo! And doncha just love the new cover? Yummy. I'm also going to be working on my novel for Loose Id called Love My Way. I can't wait to get this all done because so far I'm loving this story. Tell me this. Would you volunteer to go on a reality TV show for a Dom looking for a submissive? Can you imagine what the immunity challenges would be like? Imagine no more! You'll find out soon in my book.

Stay sexy,
BridgeT

Same story, new cover...and publisher

Most of you may have remembered my contemporary interracial romance called "Public Domain" that was through Ocean's Mist Press. Well now it's with Whispers Publication and they've created a new cover for it. Take a gander to the left. Great, huh? Not that I didn't like my original cover. I just think this one is sexier. I love that she's biting his lip. Purrrr! I don't have a release date yet but, of course, as soon as I know, you'll know.

Just to bring you all up to speed, the story is about a couple that loves to have risky sex in public places. The only thing they don't know about each other is their names. She wants to keep the relationship as is, fun sex in different locations. He wants to know her more. Will his persistance push her away or force her to take their private relationship public?

I'm not as brazen as the characters in this story. Sometimes I wish I were. But it's fun to imagine it, and even more fun to write it! I can't wait for this story to come out again. And I'm crossing fingers and toes that it makes it in to their multi-author anthology. Looking at the cover, it reminds me of the beach scene in the story. I won't say more than that. If you want to know what I'm talking about, you're going to have to get the book!

Okay, gotta get back to work.

Stay sexy,
BridgeT

Close to lift off!

After waiting almost a year, my sequel to "Adam and E-V-E" called C-A-I-N and A-B-E-L will be published by the end of this month. I can hardly wait.

The story continues after my first novella, "Adam and E-V-E" about a cyborg who learns a thing or two about love. This story centers on Dr. Sonjie Tuumlar, the doctor who, with Dr. Lars Urlean, help create the cyborgs. Sonjie is back on Mars testing and training two new cyborgs, Combat Artillery Invasion Neutralizer and Aerial Battle Executive Leader, or C-A-I-N and A-B-E-L, respectively. Sonjie doesn't want to make the same mistake as Lars and that is to cross the line and have sex with her creations. However with the strong pull she feels toward the men, she's finding the line is blurred and the temptation is clear.

This is my first real foray into writing M/M sex so be warned. The book does contain that. However, if you like the threesome--and then some---scenes from Fascination Street, then you'll enjoy this book.

So while you all enjoy that, I'll be working on Love My Way. I'm already starting to fall in love with my hero, Eagan Morton, and I love, love, love this story. I'm getting the same feeling with it as I did when I was writing Fascination Street. I just hope you all dig it too.

Gotta get to work.

Stay sexy,

Busy, busy beaver!

Get your heads out of the gutter! Geez! Can't be an erotica writer and say 'beaver' without certain connotations coming into your head, huh? I understand. No, what I mean is that I have a lot going on right now. For one, the Midnight Showcase publishers surprised me by not only wanting 1 sequel for my book Corporate Seduction, but they want 2! So I'll be penning (or rather typing) Corporate Desires, Madame Z's story, and Corporate Needs, which I have decided will be Princess's story. Aside from Win and May, they were the two most popular characters.

But I couldn't just stop there. Oh no! Lately I've been on this big 80's jag. No, I haven't broken out the leg-warmers and off-the-shoulder sweaters yet. It's coming! I purchased a 2-disc set of new wave 80's tunes. One song on there is my favorite, Psychedelic Furs' "Love My Way". As I listened to the song and thought about it, I said to myself, "Man, that's such a Dom song." Then the wheels started spinning. How could I write a story around that? Then I got it. Before I reveal too much, I'll just tell you that the story is going to Loose Id and hopefully it'll be out in a few months. And I'll say this. For those of you who liked Fascination Street and the BDSM aspects of Corporate Seduction, you'll enjoy Love My Way. It's the ensemble characters like Fascination Street along with some hot BDSM action. I can't wait for this story to come out!

To hear the song that inspired my story, click here.

Now I have some work to do so I have to go. Enjoy the tunes. 80's rock!

Stay sexy!

Me and "The Girls"

Oh, and Laura Bacchi (middle) and Shara Lanel (right) were there too. *LOL* Hey, I had to use all of my means to sell books! This picture is from our group signing, Wicked Words, at The Love Shack in Newport News, Virginia. We had an absolutely wonderful time. Thanks to Karen with The Love Shack for allowing us space in the store for a few hours while we sold our smut. *LOL* Actually I'm the smut peddler. The other two authors are quite gifted.

And speaking of gifted authors, big, huge, honking congratulations to Laura Bacchi who won Liquid Silver Books' Molten Silver contest with her entry Topping Tora. I've read a portion of this book. Trust me. It's hot! I have no shame in admitting that Laura Bacchi is the kind of author I avoid reading her books before I write. It's because she's so damn good I always feel I can't measure up to her. I'll contend with anyone that Laura writes the best sexual tension of anyone out there. And her sex scenes are incredible. She's the author to watch. Trust me. And I'm really thrilled that her book is an interracial romance! Whoo! Hoo!

Right now I'm working on a proposal for New Concepts Publishing. I'm into chapter 3. Keep your fingers crossed that the editor digs it enough to contract it. Sistagirl needs some money!

Okay, I have lots to do today so I really have to go. More pics and news later on.

Stay sexy!

Close but no cigar!

I was REALLY hoping to have four new releases before I went to the Romantic Times Convention a couple of weeks ago. I got close. Two works were released either before I left for the convention or the day I got there. They were "Foolish Games" through Erotique Press and Silly Fears through Ocean's Mist Press. And one was just released (albeit quietly) a couple of days ago. That's my short erotic story, "Suburbia" through Phaze. The couple in the story is married and they have sex with each other. Hard to believe coming from me, huh? *LOL* The next release should be C-A-I-N and A-B-E-L, my long-awaited (at least by me) sequel to "Adam and E-V-E". I can hardly wait to see the cover. Stacey L. King, publisher and basic Jill-of-all-trades, did such a great job with my "Adam and E-V-E" cover.

I have some other great news, too! I just signed my contract with Midnight Showcase to not only do the sequel to Corporate Seduction but to make this into a Corporate Trilogy! That's right, folks. Three books surrounding big business, BDSM and sex! I had no idea the publishers wanted a trilogy. I knew they wanted a sequel. And I have the working titles already. Corporate Desires, this will be Madame Z's story, and Corporate Needs. I'm thinking of making this Princess's story. For those who have read the book, don't you want to know what Princess does for work now?

I also just signed a contract for one of my novellas to appear in an anthology called Distant Lovers through Reality Press! My story is called "Service Recall". It's about a newly-divorced African-American woman who, by chance, has plumbing work done by an old high school crush. Or was it by chance? Hmmm. I'll never tell. Moohaahaahaa!

Okay, kiddies, Mama's gotta get to work. I owe stories to 4 different publishers. It's nice to be wanted.

Stay sexy,

BridgeT

Is it possible?

Just a week before I head out to the Romantic Times Convention in Daytona Beach, Florida, I'm told by three of my publishers that they'll be releasing my work either right before or the day of the convention! Count 'em, folks. It'll be FOUR works out! Erotique Press will be releasing "Foolish Games." Have you all seen that cover? Just look to your right and stop drooling. *LOL* The story is about two friends who do this sort of sexual game of "Truth or Dare" every year, only one friend is getting sort of tired of playing and wants to have the real thing. Don't you just hate it when things get all serious on you?

My next release will be my short story with Phaze called "Suburbia." Now have you all seen that cover? Since it's a shorty and a non-theme Phaze work, it gets the standard short story cover and not a special cover. But I actually like it because the duo on the cover does remind me of the characters in the story. The hero, Jason, is African-American and the heroine is White. The story is about a woman who is afraid she and her husband have lost that special spark in their marriage and she tries ANYTHING to get it back again. I guess you can say this is my version of "Desperate Housewives." Don't gasp in horror. I still haven't seen an episode of that show. I know. I know. Just me and the other people who live under rocks. I get it.

The third release may be coming out Monday, May 15th. You all have read about this book before. It's what I've been calling my clown erotica story. No, the clowns don't have sex. I promise you. It's called "Silly Fears" and it's about a woman who has a fear of clowns. She meets a man who has swept her off of her feet but who is a constant prankster. When strange things start happening around her, she wonders if he's the cause. Don't you hate when that happens? When the cute guy you've been doing could be doing you harm? Always the case, isn't it? The best guys are either married or prank-pulling murderers. Agh!

The last potential release is my long-awaited (okay, maybe just by me) follow-up to my very first published work ever called "Adam and E-V-E." The sequel is called C-A-I-N and A-B-E-L. It's another science fiction tale, this time about the doctor that helped create E-V-E. She's been left in charge to make sure two more cyborgs like E-V-E that she named C-A-I-N and A-B-E-L are fit to fight in their next war. Only if the two weren't so damned sexy! She has a hard time letting them go. When the book comes out, you'll see why.

Anyway, my publisher said that she would literally format my story on the plane ride to Florida and burn disks in her hotel room at the convention. Is that wild or what? Sorry, folks. I don't have the cover for this one yet otherwise I would put it up. I'm hoping it's just as great as "Adam and E-V-E." I still love looking at that cover.

I find it amazing that I'm sort of coming full circle. Last year at my very first Romantic Times Convention, I had my first book come out the day before I flew out to St. Louis, Missouri. And now the sequel to that book is coming out during this year's convention also. I'll say it, folks. It's been a very good year!

For those going to the convention, I hope to see you! I'll be signing as Bridget Midway so I'm hoping to be smack dab in between Cait Miller and Liddy Midnight. Can't wait to see Liddy again. She's a hoot and a half!

Stay sexy!

Slowly infiltrating the system, man!

Some people like to Google themselves (I guess they like the tickling sensation they get). Other people, like myself, like to check Amazon.com. It's always my hope and dream that I can crack the top 100 on the Amazon list. I'm just tickled to make it in as low as 15,000! Anyway, I check Amazon.com today and I see that my novel, Corporate Seduction, through Midnight Showcase is on sale there now! I'm so giddy that I race over to Barnes and Noble.com. Although they also show Corporate Seduction, they don't have the book for sale. It says they're out of stock or something and to check other bookstores for copies. I'm hoping that'll change soon and they'll start selling it on their site.

I'm just tickled to have not one but two books on sale at Amazon.com! I feel like a real author, angst and all. Now if I could only quit that pesky day job, I would be set. Then again, I would need to be rolling in some dough to do that. No, I'm not talking about literally rolling in dough. You all are some sick monkeys!

Why you sit back and laugh, enjoy some excerpts on my site.
