Interview with Dionne Galace…aka Bam…

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.
