For our final day - Bianca Sommerland

For our final day of the tour, I'm delighted to welcome Bianca Sommerland. Her latest release, Deadly Captive is a really intense read.

You can get Deadly Captive here:  https://www.nobleromance.com/ItemDisplay.aspx?i=269

Bianca Sommerland was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec. When not reading neurotically or writing as though the fate of the world rests on her keyboard, she is either watching hockey or teaching her daughters the beauty of a classic, steel pony while reminiscing about her days in Auto Body Mechanics.

Her time is balanced with utmost care between normal family life, and the internal paranormal realm where her characters reside. For the most part, she succeeds. You can find her at http://imnoangelauthorsblog.wordpress.com/

Okay, Bianca, I'm turning it over to you!

Magic and the Great ‘What if?’

When I’m writing, the question at the forefront of my mind is ‘What if?’ What if the prince is the bad guy? What if the heroine likes the ‘hero’s’ best friend…or whole <insert sport> team? What if the fate of the universe rest on the balance of the ultimate orgasm?

Okay, I’ve never tried that one, but you get where I’m going. Sorta.

Anyway, when you’re writing contemporary, your mind has to stick with logical ‘what ifs’. Your human male cannot have the tongue of a snake unless he is Gene Simmons (not but enough for my tastes, but I do have wet dreams about that tongue. Um…yeah, you don’t wanna know). He cannot hump you while simultaneously undressing you both. And condoms are a good idea unless the couple have exchanged shackles.

Add a dash of magic and the possibilities…*evil grin* there are things a character can survive with a spoonful of enchanted sugar that would leave lesser men hamburger meat. In Deadly Captive, the only reason there’s any kind of Happily Ever After (I’m quite liberal with that term, so don’t get your hopes up) is because I tore him apart and used the paranormal elements in the story to…ah, must spoil the ending. All I will tell you is the heroine is not left alone.

So the hero doesn’t die?

Now, I didn’t say that, did I?

Real life fiction is fun to read because part of you let your mind be fooled—let’s your mind believe that the events could happen. Probably won’t. But could. Fantasy, paranormal, Sci fi—these are all ways to escape. You don’t believe it could happen in your world, because you’re not in your world, you’re in another. And it’s either a real nice, or real scary place to be.

Here’s a short excerpt from Deadly Captive to give you an idea of what I mean:

With a slow nod, Cyrus lifted his hand and curved his fingers inwards. "Come here, Lydia."

His eyes were beautiful, the blue of a cloudless summer sky. My fear dwindled. It was ridiculous to be afraid, really. He wouldn't hurt me; he would give me everything I'd ever wanted. I climbed over Joe, craving Cyrus' touch so bad my skin crawled with desire. I would go mad if he didn't take me. I would die.

Joe wrapped his arms around my waist and jerked me back. "Start with me, Cyrus. Have your fun with me."

"And make her first time easy, Joe?" Cyrus smiled, and my heart melted. He had lovely, luscious lips. "In return for what? Your cooperation?"

"No! Please—" I pitched forward. Joe hauled me up and dropped me on the mattress. I bit my tongue and swore as blood filled my mouth. Pain shattered the urge to rush into the arms of the man who'd used my suffering as entertainment.

 Fun, right? Imagine all the things someone could do to you with some kind of otherworldly power at their disposal. All the things they could make you do…

Thanks so much for having me, Gianna! Enjoy the last days of the tour, lovely people!

Thanks for coming by, Bianca. The lure of different worlds, with characters who have all sorts of ways to manipulate situations and people using powers beyond our own frail humanity is hard to resist. I'm sure many of us agree with that!
