She currently resides in Tennesse enjoying the success of seeing her novel become #17 in Bestselling Fantasy Epic (Amazon). Of her fiction, the 45 year-old author warns, "My fairy tales are not for children, but rather, they satisfy adult anguish over things that can never be." The psychological pull of her fiction is noted for its ability to disturb as well as fascinate. All of her published works can be found at her sonnypreyer site. Her Sonny Preyer series, was originally written as one novel, but the author wisely listened to advise to break it into three full-length books, making publishing more feasibl

I try to remember that the writing self has it's own logic and it's not stopping because it's out of steam. It's stopping because I'm holding onto a stronger idea that goes against whatever's being written, such as 'this isn't good enough,' or 'I'm scared to say this.' It's usually that I haven't given my conscious mind enough information, enough scene logic, in order for the writer to weave a narrative that it believes in. So it's figuring out, what am I trying to show? What sequence of reasoning, building blocks, will take the reader where I want the reader to go? It's that kind of work with the self that never ends.(less)

Sonny Preyer IV update

For those of you wondering about the fourth SP book, I have written enough material for three more books, so I am constantly working on them. The story is so huge now, I've needed to pull away and complete shorter projects, just for the rest and change.

In the summer of 2018, I fulfilled a playful desire to write Harry Potter fanfiction, two novel-length stories, which can be found on AO3 (Archive Read more of this blog post »

“If a writer's work lifts you, remain loyal to that experience, even after you've grown beyond it. The book did what it did at the time that you needed it. Don't put it down for not being able to grow with you. It did its job.”
― Bridgette Hayden

“Some tales infiltrate your culture for a reason, disguised as child’s play, to bypass your defenses. To help you. Your own story, no doubt, will help many when it is revealed. My point is simple. It is best to accept, when reality isn’t what you think it should be. Accept, Sonny. That doesn’t mean settling for what you don’t like. Change it by all means, just don’t let it scare you so badly that you get stuck in a terrible place. The kind of acceptance I’m speaking of lets you move on.” -- Varce to Sonny, in Sonny Preyer book 1”
― Bridgette Hayden, Sonny Preyer: A Fairy Tale of a Different Kind #1

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

“Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable.”
― Clare Boothe Luce

“One must state it plainly. Religion comes from the period of human prehistory where nobody—not even the mighty Democritus who concluded that all matter was made from atoms—had the smallest idea what was going on. It comes from the bawling and fearful infancy of our species, and is a babyish attempt to meet our inescapable demand for knowledge (as well as for comfort, reassurance and other infantile needs). Today the least educated of my children knows much more about the natural order than any of the founders of religion, and one would like to think—though the connection is not a fully demonstrable one—that this is why they seem so uninterested in sending fellow humans to hell.”
― Christopher Hitchens, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything

“Religion is like a pair of shoes.....Find one that fits for you, but don't make me wear your shoes.”
― George Carlin

“If a writer's work lifts you, remain loyal to that experience, even after you've grown beyond it. The book did what it did at the time that you needed it. Don't put it down for not being able to grow with you. It did its job.”
