Fallen Angel Review welcomes, author Bridget Midway


What inspired you to write Adam and E-V-E?

“Make love, not war.” I thought about that line one day and I thought, “How could I make a situation where sex could end a war?” And from that came “Adam and E-V-E”.

What was your favorite part to write?

I love the opening scene where Adam is trying to convince E-V-E that him feeling her up and kissing her would actually benefit mankind. That could be a new pick-up line, ladies. “If we don’t have sex, the world could be destroyed!” LOL

Would you like to tell us about the exciting things you are involved in at Phaze?

First of all, Phaze is a wonderful place to be as a writer. Stacey King is a very nurturing but dead-on editor, and she makes the best book covers I’ve ever seen from an e-publisher. Right now, as in this very moment, I am list maven for the Phaze Yahoo group. It’s been fun interacting with not only my fellow Phaze authors but also with the readers. When my time is up on Saturday, I’ll give away a free download of “Adam and E-V-E”. If you would like to join the Phaze Yahoo group, go to www.Phaze.com and go to the bottom of the homepage to join. It’s a lively bunch in that group!

Also I’ve submitted a full-length manuscript called FASCINATION STREET to Phaze for consideration. It’s a story about a couple that moves to this neighborhood where the neighbors share a little bit more than recipes and gardening tools. I shared an excerpt on the Yahoo group and got a great response so I’m hoping it’ll get picked up.

Then on July 16th, fellow Phaze authors Leigh Ellwood, Laura Bacchi and I will be doing a book/disc signing at an adult toy store in Virginia Beach, Virginia called The Pink Banana Boutique. We’re calling it a Phaze author day at the store. We’ll be giving away a gift basket with other Phaze author items inside. I’m very excited.

If you could be invisible for one hour, what would you do and where would you go?

Great question. I’m a voyeur by nature. Actually, and this is probably going to sound strange, but I would love to follow Donald Trump around for that hour. I find him fascinating and I would love to see him work a deal. I know. Really boring.

If you could relive one romantic moment of your entire life, which one would it be?

I would love to re-live the moment I kissed my man for the very first time. I love that butterflies-in-the-belly feeling and everything else that tends to happen to a body when the kiss is just right and it feels so good. I still feel that way now. But there’s something about the first kiss that’s special.

If you could have a servant come to your home every day for one hour, what would you have them do?

For just one hour? I would have him rub my back. Cooking and cleaning I could care less about. Just make me feel boneless for an hour and he’ll be worth his weight in gold.

If you were going to turn to crime to support yourself from now on, what kind of criminal would you be?

I wouldn’t make a good cat burglar because I’m not that patient and you have to be to do that kind of work. I would probably be a bank robber but not the kind that comes in wearing a mask and scaring a bunch of people. I would be smooth. Disguise and all, passing phony checks. No guns though. Can’t stand guns.

If you could see anyone fully naked, who would you select? ( Besides your mate or the UPS guy)

Besides the UPS guy I keep tied up in my closet? Hello! Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson! That man is walking perfection!

If you were to perform in the circus, what would you do?

I would love to be one of the motorcycle drivers that go around in those iron spheres. Looks dangerous as hell but what an adrenaline rush that must be.

If you had to be someone's body part, what would you be, and on whose body?

I would be Jennifer Lopez’s backside for two reasons: 1.) everyone would keep looking at me and admiring me, and 2.) I would be insured!

If you could have a telegram from one famous person now alive, who would it be from, and what would it say?

“Hi, Bridget. Thanks for the humidor. I smile whenever I get a cigar from it. Glad you can keep a secret. Always, Bill Clinton.” Love that man!

If you had to name the dumbest purchase you ever made, which would it be? Why?

I am a sucker for a good infomercial. I saw one a few years ago about a technique to help you do speed reading. Agh! What a waste of money. I never used it. At the time I bought it, I was in school taking a boat-load of classes and I wanted to read as much as I could without being on uppers or crack. (By the way, have never taken or used either one.) To think about the whole speed reading thing now, I laugh about it. I think as an author, reading should be savored like admiring artwork.

If you could have a song written about you, what musician would you want to compose it, who would perform it, and what would it be called?

I would love for someone like Peter Cincotti to write a song about me and perform it.. He’s a throwback to the golden era of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Very jazzy and big band. I would want it to be called “Reeling.”

If you could receive all the products from a single company for free (but could not resell them), which company would you choose? Why?

Another great question. I’m not really a big tech-head but computers have become my livelihood. I would want to get all free Gateway computer products. Whatever they offer, I would want it! That way I could have more than one computer and if one crashed, like my little laptop did a couple of weeks ago, I would always have a backup.

If a photograph of one part of your body were to be used in an advertisement, which part would you want to be used, and for what product or service?

I kind of like my lips. They’re naturally full and I’ve been told they’re really soft. I would advertise MAC lip gloss and lipsticks.

If you had to choose the single most important thing you ever learned, what would it be? Why?

The most important thing I ever learned came from another author. I was discussing how I look back on some of my writing and said, “Man, I wish I could have changed that.” She said that I shouldn’t look at my past work with regret because I wrote that when I was the best writer I could be at that time. So now I have a better appreciation for my writing. I strive to be the best writer I can be and hopefully readers will see that.

Bridget, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer a few questions for us.

Thank you for letting me share my thoughts! Great questions! This was fun.
