    Denyse Bridger: Escape to Africa by @WRWWorldRomance #RLFblog #romance

    Denyse Bridges: Escape to Africa by @WRWWorldRomance #RLFblog #romanceWelcome Denysé Bridger author of Escape to Africa, a new romantic suspense boxed set.

    Why did you write this book?

    This particular set of stories came about as the World Romance Writers chatted about themes for future sets after the best-selling debut set, Letterbox Love Stories. We wanted to do something a little more exotic and add a touch of suspense, so the idea of tales set in Africa was born. I’ve long been a lover of the movie Casablanca, and wanted to try something in a similar vein to the movie. So, with a tip of the hat to that classic movie, I hope you enjoy a peek at this one–the first in a series of stories with this set of characters because I know their adventure is just beginning…

    What is your favorite genre to read?

    I read a lot of different genres, but pretty much all have an element of romance in them. These days I tend to be reading cozy mysteries, which I adore but can’t write, sadly. I also read a lot of romantic suspense and find a lot of excellent authors in the Love Inspired Suspense line from Harlequin, one of my favourite authors there is Elizabeth Goddard, her series’ never disappoint!

    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?

    That would have to be Sherlock Holmes, or his more modern counterpart, William Murdoch from Maureen Jennings Murdoch Mysteries series. Both are Victorian in setting, and both men are fascinating as they hunt down villains with shrewd intellect and logic.

    What are you working on at the moment?

    At the moment I’m working on a story I pitched to Harlequin, it’s all Canadian, really. Canadian setting, Canadian hero and heroine, and the author is from Eastern Canada! This is the first time in many years that I’ve written a story set in my own country, I tend to write in settings that I feel are a little more exotic, but this one has me very excited. It’s got a passionate romance, and a lot of suspense elements, as well as Native American roots. I think it’s going to be a very strong story!

    What books will we see from you in coming months?

    I’m in a new boxed set from the authors at Romance Books 4 Us, plus I’m doing a book for an on-going theme set called Hidden. I have no less than four projects in the works to be ready by mid-2018. Wish me luck!! I also have three new series in the works – and I was always the one who never wrote with the idea of a series in mind.

    Please tell us about your latest book.

    As Fate Decrees

    Genre Historical Fantasy
    Author Denysé Bridger
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
    The gods of ancient Greece must find a mortal champion to defend their fate.
    “Go and seek the one I have told you about, she is frail and in need of help. Look not of upper blood, for I have seen her down in the dirt. She is held against her will. Find her and you shall find your savior.” — The Oracle of Delphi
    In ancient Greece the young maiden, Amarantha, is captured and sold in the slave market of Athens.
    “What fates await?” she wonders. “And what divine design will the Olympian gods have for me?”
    As unexpectedly as she had found herself placed in chains, Amarantha finds herself purchased by a mysterious master who refuses to reveal his true identity.
    But he is no ordinary man, nor she an ordinary slave.
    Under her master’s tutelage, Amarantha is trained as a fighter and challenged to prove herself in battle after battle until her skills are perfected and she is granted the right to know his true identity.
    He is Ares, god of war and the son of Zeus. And she is to become Champion to the gods of Olympus; bound forever to serve and vanquish all foes until the gods themselves grant her peace.
    But even gods are not immune to the fickle twists of fate, and Amarantha is soon ripped from her quiet resting place and cast through time itself to do battle with a modern day reincarnation of an old foe – a madman bent on rewriting history to suit his own twisted desire.
    She must act quickly to win this battle, for the fate of all Olympian gods hangs in a delicate balance between immortality and the realization that even the gods themselves may be returned to the dust from which they arose.

    Prince Francesco from Favola by @DenyseBridger #RLFblog #fairytale

    Interview with Francesco

    This interview is designed for your hero or heroine to tell
    readers about himself or herself.
    Tell us about
    yourself, please.
    I am the Crown Prince of La
    Città Natale di Alba,
    The Birthplace of Dawn. My parents have decided that
    it is time for me to marry and produce heirs, and continue my grooming to rule
    our kingdom. The problem being, the endless parade of potential brides has left
    me feeling suffocated and less than interested in my destined role as ruler.
    Authors call what you
    want but cannot have “the conflict” — what is yours?
    When I first spotted my beloved, she was in a small village,
    and I was directed to the La Locanda di
    Pericoli Nascosti,
    (The Inn of Hidden Dangers), an Inn owned by her mother,
    the stunning Bella Venezia. I didn’t realize that Bella was a jealous woman who
    hated any other as beautiful as she is. She kept her own daughter imprisoned in
    a tower, out of sight, and out of reach of any man who desired her. And I desired
    her more than any other woman I have ever known or seen. I was determined to
    make her my queen, but first had to find a way to reach her.
    What inner doubt
    causes you the most difficulty?
    Fear that I will not be strong enough to do what is asked of
    me, to rule my people as they deserve. To keep the love of my fair Caparicia.
    In the story world
    your author created, explain what it is you fear most and why.
    Bella told me her daughter was dead, that she arranged this
    still fills me with rage. No amount of threatening or anger could undo what she
    had wrought, until the arrival of my brother, and a witch who was willing to
    help…. though the price she would ultimately ask was a high one.
    Tell us about your
    significant other, that person who makes living worthwhile.
    Capricia, the fair and innocent girl who stole my heart, and
    my ability to think about any other. She is kind, gentle, beautiful, and
    strong, all a man could desire in a queen for his people.
    What is your family
    like?
    My brother, Matteo, is my best friend. He would have made a
    fine king, but he was not interested in the burdens of ruling. Ironically, the
    burden he did choose to carry is one much heavier than ruling our kingdom has
    ever been. I miss him, and curse his Fate each dawn.
    Why are you happy (or
    not happy) with the way your story ended?
    I am happy with my story because my queen is at my side, and
    she is the joy in my life. What I am not happy with is the fate of my brother,
    but I have no given up hope that one day his burden will be lifted and he will
    find his way back to us.

    About the Writer

    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.  In the past half
    dozen years, I’ve released books in all lengths and genres, and it’s something
    I hope to continue to do for many more years. A visit to my websites will show
    the diversity of what is currently available, as well as other surprises and
    extras!
    What was your biggest
    challenge in writing this book?
    The biggest challenges with this book were to do the
    original fairytale justice, keep the sequence, but also to add some touches of
    my own to the existing storyline. To do that meant writing succinctly, and not
    allowing the story to expand into wordiness that would run it off on tangents
    not relevant to the main story. I hope it worked!
    Why did you choose
    this character for the interview today?
    Today is release day for this book, but apart from that, I
    love Francesco and his brother Matteo, they are regal and formidable, and
    passionate.
    Are any sequels
    planned for this book?
    My publisher has suggested a sequel, and I am toying with
    the idea of telling Matteo’s story, since his nobility is beyond question and
    there is a very intriguing story there waiting to be told.
    What would your
    readers be surprised to learn about you?
    That I am exceedingly shy, and probably that this is one of
    the very few books I have published new in over two years as I’ve worked at
    rediscovering my passion for writing and telling stories.
    Why should readers
    who haven’t picked up one of your books before give this one a try?
    If you like traditional fairytales with a hint of sexy
    sensuality, this is a story that has those elements and is basically a short,
    fun read that I hope makes everyone smile at the end of it.
    Is there anything
    you’d like to say to your readers?
    Thank you – always – for your continued support and
    enthusiasm for the worlds I love to explore and create. I hope they bring you a
    small amount of joy because that is where the real success of our work lives.
