Interview with Dionne Galace…aka Bam…

August 15, 2007 by shilohwalker

Maybe I should say The Infamous Bam. If you’ve been in romance blogland for long, you’ve probably seen her around. Seen and run in fear… just kidding, just kidding. ;o)

Dionne, aka Bam, has a book coming out from Samhain here soon, Skin to Skin and besides doing an interview for us, she’s also give away prizes. Three of them…downloads of Skin to Skin and $15 gift certificate to My Bookstore and More and the winner of that GC can buy Dionne’s book on Friday, as well as mine…just kidding (although I think that sounds like a bang up list)

How do you win? That’s easy. Just comment… BUT your name is only going into the drawing once and by name, I mean one person per ISP~I am keeping track. Only way to be fair to everybody.

Dionne will swing by during the day so feel free to ask questions!

And on to the interview…

Vamps and Scamps Blog Interview with Dionne Galace:

**All of the questions in this interview were suggested by readers at Dionne aka Bam’s blog. Thank you!

V&S: I’m curious, what’s the one thing you would never write? It can cover anything from a sexual situation to a plot too done to just something you wouldn’t want to tackle.

Dionne Galace: Oh damn. I don’t really like to say “never”. I do enjoy taking the so-called “tired” plots and putting my own twist on it. In fact, I was just wondering the other day what I could do with a “secret baby” or an “amnesia” story. That might be kind of fun.


V&S: How do you get Bam from Dionne Galace?

Dionne Galace: Ha-ha. You don’t. When I was a kid, I used to drive my poor grandmother crazy ’cause I would go around hitting and destroying things with a stick. She said I reminded her of Bamm-Bamm from the Flintstones, so it just kind of stuck. My friends and family still call me Bam. It’s just easier to pronounce than “dee-OHN”.

V&S: Is there a subgenre you’re dying to write in – witches, vampires, Urban Fantasy etc – and if so, what is it and are you going to try it?


Dionne Galace: I’m actually working on an urban fantasy series right now featuring a woman

with a “strange” gift and her elf sidekick. They own a detective agency. I’ve got the first four books plotted and outlined. Now I just have to write them.


V&S: If you could be any romance book female lead who would it be and which book (if it’s a series)?

Dionne Galace: I always really liked Esme from Eloisa James’ books. She was just a secondary character, but I really liked how spunky and fun she was. I believe she shows up in Duchess in Love, Fool for Love, and A Wild Pursuit. Her lover Sebastian, the Marquess of Bonnington, is still my favorite romance hero to this day.

V&S: It’s 50 years in the future and the only thing you regret in life is an unfortunate tattoo on your ass. What does the tattoo say and why?

Dionne Galace: Well, damn. It’s a playboy bunny. It’s purely red and right on my tailbone. It looks like it was branded onto my skin. It seemed like a good idea at the time. But I don’t even want to be thinking of myself as an 80 year old grandmother with a playboy bunny on my tailbone.

* * * * *

Thanks, Dionne. I’m ready to read Skin to Skin now.

    Great interview! If you could have one super power what would you want it to be and why?


  2. on August 16, 2007 at 3:06 pm Dionne Galace

    I have to choose just one?

    Umm… let’s see… the ability to harness more super powers.

    MWAHAHAHA.

    How long did it take you to get published, from when you first put pen to paper for that book to when it got published? Do elephants have shorter gestation periods?

    And did it feel like you had passed a gallstone the size of an elephant once it was done, or was the process easier for you?

    I don’t have a question but I want to win the book. Karen Scott gave it a good review and that says alot.


  5. on August 16, 2007 at 5:17 pm lrwirum

    Love the nickname. 🙂 Enjoyed the interview also.


  6. on August 16, 2007 at 5:22 pm Jambrea

    Great interview. Your book cover caught my eye when I went to your site. It sounds like a great read!


  7. on August 16, 2007 at 6:22 pm Cathy

    Hi Bam-Bam. I was born with very orange hair and was called Pebbles until I was around ten, when, thankfully, my hair settled down to a nice sedate auburn. Like the idea for your Urban Fantasy stories and look forward to hearing more about them.


  8. on August 16, 2007 at 7:29 pm Cherie J

    Hi Dionne! Congrats on the upcoming release. Sounds really good. Enjoyed the interview! I would like to know who are your must read authors?


  9. on August 16, 2007 at 7:42 pm phsymom

    Hi Bam, I am looking forward to the release of your book. If I didn’t have family in this weekend I can guarantee I would be curled up reading it.

    Enjoyed the interview, but was wondering if any publishers have already revealed interest in your Urban Fantasy?


  10. on August 16, 2007 at 7:50 pm Kimberly B

    Hi Bam! Terrific interview! Your book sounds great!


  11. on August 16, 2007 at 7:57 pm Sue A.

    Great interview! And I love the book cover of Skin to Skin. Congrats on the new release!


  12. on August 16, 2007 at 8:25 pm shiloh walker

    Bam will come back to answer questions later so you all keep asking if you have them.

    I wont’ draw a winner until tomorrow.


  13. on August 16, 2007 at 11:11 pm Dionne Galace

    How long did it take you to get published, from when you first put pen to paper for that book to when it got published?

    Gwen, I submitted this back in… March, I wanna say, and Samhain started released A Midsummer Night’s Steam early June… so for me, five months?

    I would like to know who are your must read authors?

    Cherie J, that would be: PC Cast, Charlaine Harris, Christopher Moore, Jim Butcher, Robin McKinley, and Joey W. Hill

    Enjoyed the interview, but was wondering if any publishers have already revealed interest in your Urban Fantasy?

    Psymom, nope. Haven’t even sent out any feelers.

    Everyone else, thanks for the lovely comments. Keep asking these awesome questions and I’ll keep checking this site to answer them.


  14. on August 16, 2007 at 11:24 pm penny

    Good questions & answers! The new release sounds good and so does the urban fantasy series.


  15. on August 17, 2007 at 1:48 am KimW

    Neat interview! Love the excerpt on your site. I think he should just take her. Now…lol.

    My question is:

    If you could describe yourself in three words, what would they be?


  16. on August 17, 2007 at 2:23 am Scibbler

    3 words: impulsive, stubborn, and soft-hearted.


  17. on August 17, 2007 at 2:24 am Dionne Galace

    ^the above comment is me, btw. Signed in with the wrong account. heh.


  18. on August 17, 2007 at 3:09 am Chantal

    I always wondered why you are called Bam online by so many. Cool childhood nickname for sure.


  19. on August 17, 2007 at 3:21 am Lori

    What a great interview!! Dionne, I can hardly wait for your urban fantasy books to come out…I think that they sound great!


  20. on August 17, 2007 at 5:12 am Dionne Galace

  24. on August 17, 2007 at 11:36 am Stacy~

    Love the interview, and I can’t wait for “Skin to Skin”. Good luck with the writing, and I hope to see you twist up those tired plot lines soon 🙂
