Guest Blogger Denyse Bridger

Happy day after Thanksgiving and for those of you don’t celebrate the holiday a big Happy Friday to you. Join us today as we welcome author Denyse Bridger. She’ll be discussing the different styles of writing in the Romance Genre. For now here’s a brief look at Denyse and her latest release.

I am a native of Atlantic Canada, and I’ve been writing for what seems a lifetime. As my readers know, I also refuse to be confined to a single genre, preferring to explore in many. While my special favorites are always historical, I’m developing a fondness for contemporary tales, as well. Fantasy is also an element of just about every story, whether it’s the fantasy of romance itself, or an exciting new world to learn about and understand. So, it’s my hope that every reader will find something to enjoy in my books, and will want to stay with me through the journey and see just how far we can stretch our creative dreams.

My first major release is in bookstores now, it’s a mainstream fantasy novel, based on Greek Mythology – As Fate Decrees. (And there’s romance, too, of course!) The Media Kit, a video trailer, and podcast interviews are all available at my website, so drop by! At the moment, my most important projects are a proposal for Harlequin Presents, and a new Anthology called The Italian Collection, six stories set in Italy and all named with the titles of romantic Italian love songs. I think it’s going to be great!

To stay current with all my projects, (and they are many!), or to just say hello, please feel free to visit my website: http://www.denysebridger.com   Or, sign up for the monthly newsletter Romance and Fantasy. If you prefer to chat with me, and other readers, the newsgroup is open to everyone. Denysé Bridger News.

TWO copies of this eBook will be given as prizes, in whatever format the winners require.

Passionate Kisses is a collection of seven short stories, three of which have been previously published. In this single volume you’ll meet agents who risk not only their lives but their hearts as they struggle to survive in an often harsh and heartless world; a jaded Colonel returning from the Civil War who finds solace for his soul in the arms of woman he’s just met; a vampire who unknowingly condemns all of his kind to the eternal night; a couple who live busy lives that often keep them apart, so they make their own special magic hidden away in the mountains

The collection includes the following tales of erotic romance:

ANY OTHER WAY, (Contemporary, previously published by Amber Quill Press):  Protected Federal Witness, Carlos D’Alejandro and Agent Jade Whinton have had a relationship of convenience over the years, but when the people they love are killed, these two unlikely lovers are forced to face a truth neither of them has been willing to examine too closely, that their passion is more than intense attraction…

THE HUNT: (Contemporary/Vampire) Nicholas is ancient, and his current lover, Callandra, is one of the few women he has known over centuries who not only enjoys the hunt, she glories in it.
