My guest this week on Write Bytes is Bridget Gray whose debut book with Escape publishing No Strings Attached was released in December 2012. Here’s the blurb:
She saved his life, but she wants more from him than gratitude…
Mei Jing is feeling conflicted about not telling Rod that she is his rescuer. And as their relationship grows, her conflict is heightened after each date… She knows Rod is seeking the woman who saved his life, but Mei Jing struggles to find the right time to tell him the truth. Will she be able to trust that what she feels is his love for her or Rod’s gratitude for his rescuer?
Take it away Bridget!
What’s on top of your to-be-read pile?
A book my friend recommended called “Graceling”. She described it as “romance …. with violence”.
What do you feel when you contemplate your to-be-read pile?
Resentful that I have to go to work.
What’s your most guilty pleasure?
A TV Show called Scandal. I watch it while drinking red wine and eating chocolate, to make the most of the guilt and the pleasure.
How often do you exercise?
I live in Fiji and three times a week I have personal training sessions with an ex-“Mr Fiji”. He does his best to counteract my guilty pleasures.
Where was your last holiday?
Nananuira, a small island off the main island of Fiji. Crystal clear water, a bungalow right on the beach, my books, my kids and Contreau.
What do you like to cook?
I’m experimenting with Indian curries. Big crunchy mustard seeds. Yum.
If you could live anywhere in the world where would that be?
Fiji is doin’ it for me right now.
What time of day do you write?
On a Sunday. That’s it. I write hard, I write fast but I don’t write often. Sometimes hubby gives me a leave pass and my sister and I go camping. Just us, our tents and our laptops. I’ve been known to write 12,000 over a weekend camping. Not very good words but they were a start.
What are the best and worst things about being a writer?
Best: When other people love my characters as much as I do.
Worst: Having to punctuate properly. Hate that.
What was the last non-romance book you read?
Romance Writing for Dummies
Describe your writing space?
Not at all interesting…… Keziah… please don’t make me answer this question.
What was the last movie you watched?
Little Women – Love that movie…. Interlaced relationships, about love and family and an awesome heroine.
What are three words to describe your relationship with the world wide web?
The world wide web in Fiji is a tease. Frustrating, unpredictable and unsatisfying.
Windows or Mac?
Windows. Although I have 5 i-devices in the house.
Morning person or night person?
Up at 5 most mornings. Best time of the day.
What’s the last sentence you wrote from your work in progress?
I’ve been out of the game for a long time, but I think this is what they call flirting. WOW, flirting’s good.
Thanks Bridget! Hmm … wonder what secrets her work space contains that makes her dodge that question. Hmmm …
