Elliot and Thaddeus is LIVE!

I’ve just celebrated my 1st publiversary, which is such a good feeling. There have been so many times in this last year I’ve thought about just going back to my day job, but I’m proud today that I’ve stuck it out. In this time, I’ve written and released 6 full-length novels plus a short, and I have plans for more!

I celebrated my new release and publiversary in my reader group with almost 60 authors in attendance. It was a fabulous day and made my little author heart happy, so if you were there, a huge thanks from me to you!

You have a few days left of the Class of MM 22/23 Freebie, so if you haven’t got yours yet – make sure you go and check them out.

But without any more waffle, it’s time to introduce Jacey Davis and Elizabeth Noble!

Author Bio

Jacey is a true East Coast girl, born and raised in New Jersey. After a brief stint in North Carolina, Jacey is back in NJ with her husband, two young girls, and a black lab mix.

Jacey writes MM romance. Her first series, Caldeon Brothers, was a dystopian romance, but it just expanded from there. When she’s not writing, Jacey can be found reading smut and steamy MM romances, watching Netflix, and trying to tame the chaos that is raising two little girls.

She loves all things PNR, Marvel, and fantasy. Jacey is always looking for new books and shows recs, so feel free to share. She is also working on becoming more active on social media. So please follow her for up-to-date information, conversation, games, and overall good times.

Jacey’s Quirky Questions

Holly: What was the first book that made you cry?

Jacey: Where the Red Fern Grows in the 6^th grade. I remember we were reading it out loud and I was sobbing in the middle of class.

Holly: What are some day jobs that you have had/have? Do they impact your writing, share an example.

Jacey: I’ve spent a lot of time working for physical therapy offices. I considered being a PT for a while, but it didn’t work out. One of my MC’s, River from Unexpected Omega, is a physical therapist. And I’m currently working on a secret project and , surprise, my MC is a PT, lol.

Holly: We know what you like to write, but what do you like to read in your free time, and why?

Jacey: I read all over the place. For the last few years it’s been mostly MM, or MM+, though I’ll read an occasional MMF still. As far as subgenre, just about everything. It just depends on what mood I’m in lol.

Holly: How did you come up with the idea for this book?

Jacey: This book is currently in an anthology, Tying the Knot as a 22k novella. Though I will definitely be expanding it to full length. The theme of the antho is omegaverse wedding. When I first signed up I was unsure whether I wanted to do an arranged marriage or a fake wedding date theme. After doing a poll, it seemed more people wanted to see an arranged marriage, and the idea sparked from there.

Holly: Tell us something we don’t know about your main characters. What makes them tick?

Jacey: Lyric is a huge reader. Omegas don’t have as much schooling as the Alphas, so once he was done with traditional schooling, he continued his learned through books. He actually taught himself two other languages, but no one knows.

Holly: What was the hardest part of writing this book?

Jacey: I think the hardest part was letting myself be comfortable with this alternate world. It’s a totally different society, with different values, laws, everything. At first I found myself still looking at it with modern society views. Once I leaned into it though, I let the characters take over and I had a blast.

Holly: If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be?

Jacey: It would be to not have dismissed writing as a legitimate career back in the day. I always loved to write, and my dad tried to encourage me to get into the field right out of high school. However, this was in the very beginning stages of eBooks and self-publishing, and everything felt so daunting that I tried to go a more traditional career path. I just wished I didn’t waste all that time. Though, if I did go that way back then, I’d probably be in a completely different genre and miss out on the amazing community and reads in our community.

Holly: Do you read your book reviews? How do you deal with bad or good ones?

Jacey: I sometimes read them on amazon. I won’t let myself look at Goodreads at all. Once the page is set up, I don’t look at it again. The good ones I just get very excited about. The bad ones, I try not to let get to me. If it’s something that can help me grow as an author, then I do listen to it and see if I want to make those changes.

Holly: How do you celebrate a new release?

Jacey: I typically order out dinner and just spend the day obsessively refreshing my KDP and Amazon pages, lol.

To have and to hold. Till death do we part. Whether these mates like it or not.

Or, let’s be serious, a time to celebrate, get drunk, and nab the omega dancing by the punch bowl in that cute little outfit.

Either way, these Alphas and omegas have no idea what’s waiting for them at the end of the aisle. Will today be the day they solidify their love before all?

Will a groomsman get drunk and pull an omega into a closet to get out their frustrated feelings? Will an omega get dragged, kicking and screaming down the aisle to marry an Alpha they’ve never met?

There’s a little something for everyone omegaverse fan!

Join these amazing omegaverse authors as they send their couples on a (hopefully) one way ticket to wedded bliss. It’s not over until the wedding bells ring.

Author Bio

Mystery, action, chills, and thrills spiced with romance and desire. ELIZABETH NOBLE lives by the adage “I can’t not write.” She doesn’t remember a time when she didn’t make up stories and eventually she learned how to put words on a page. Those words turned into books and fan fiction that turned into a genuine love of M/M fiction. A part of every day is spent living in worlds she created that are filled with intrigue and espionage. She has a real love for a good mystery complete with murder and twisty plots as well as all things sci-fi, futuristic, and supernatural.

When she’s not chronicling the adventures of her many characters, Elizabeth is a veterinary nurse living in her native Cleveland, Ohio. She has three grown children and now happily shares her little, brick house with two spunky Cardigan Welsh Corgis and their feline sidekicks. Elizabeth is a fan of baseball, basketball (go Cavs and Guardians) and gardening. She can often be found working in her ‘outside office’ listening to classic rock and plotting her next novel waiting for it to be dark enough to gaze at the stars.

Elizabeth’s Quirky Questions

Holly: Describe yourself using… (choose one: a food, a book, a song, a movie, an animal, a drink, a place etc)

Elizabeth: I’m a Golden Retriever. If you know, you know!

Holly: When did you first call yourself a writer? 

Elizabeth: When I was little, before I could write, I talked. A lot. A whole lot!

I told stories to anyone who’d listen and those who didn’t want to listen! When I learned to write was the time I began thinking of myself as a writer.

Holly: Do you play music while you write — and, if so, what’s your favorite?

Elizabeth: I do! I was a huge fan of Meatloaf before it was cool. I also enjoy Queen, Fun, Bob Seger, Elton John and of course, The Boss: Bruce Springsteen.

Holly: What secondary character would you like to explore more? Tell me about them.

Elizabeth: That’s the beauty of the entire Circles series, I took a secondary character and gave him the next book so I could explore his story. In this case I loved delving deeper into Mason Arquette, who plays a small part in Jewel Cave. Mason is gruff, sort of an ass and doesn’t care who he insults. With the exception of one person, his love interest that is his complete opposite.

Holly: Who has been your favorite character to write and why?

Elizabeth: In the Circles series I think Wyatt from Run for the Roses and A Barlow Lens was my favorite character. He’s in his mid-fifties, suave, and tough as nails. He falls for a much younger guy, Val, who is his daughter’s best friend. Wyatt not only puts his BAMF skills to work saving Val but convinces Val it’s safe to love someone again.

Holly: What was the weirdest thing you had to Google for your story?

Elizabeth: For the book Jewel Cave, I think the oddest thing I researched was personal locater beacons, and how they work. Not that weird. However, for Shifting Chaos, book 4 of The Sleepless City I had to research how one might go about getting a piece of a liver from a donor body. The Sleepless City is an urban fantasy cowritten with Anne Barwell.

Holly: Are you a full-time or part-time writer? How does that affect your writing?

Elizabeth: I consider myself a full-time writer because writers are never off. Lots of things happening in my life give me ideas or are something to work into a story. However, that being said, I can’t live entirely off my writing, and I do work 32 hours a week elsewhere. Sometimes after work, and then doggy classes, I’m a little tired and don’t get much writing done. I try to set aside at least one day that I’m off work each week to write. Some weeks that works out better than others.

Holly: Are you a plotter or a pantster?

Elizabeth: My favorite question! The answer is YES! I have a rough outline of what’s going to happen, sometimes that’s nothing more than a few sentences. Then I wing it. I like discovering the story as it unfolds.

Holly: How many books are you usually working on at the same time? How many unfinished WIPs do you have?

Elizabeth: 2-3 but one usually ends up taking over until it’s complete. Right now, I’m working on two books. The first one, Prism, is the second in the El Corazon series and brings two characters met briefly in Scintilla, both werewolves, together. However, this series features magical humans who become romantically entangled with a supernatural character. A third man is introduced! His magic is the manipulation of light and color. This type of magical human is called, as you probably guessed, a prism! The werewolf at the center of the story and threesome is Tad. He’s an unusual werewolf. He’s a submissive and suffers from what is at times disabling anxiety. Like Scintilla this is a sexy, supernatural thriller. I’m hoping to have it out later this year, so watch my website, newsletter and Facebook group for details and excerpts. Writing it is going more slowly than some others, but I’m very proud of the story and happy with how it’s turning out.

My second WIP is one only four people (one of them is Holly) know about. I signed up for an anthology that will be out next year. The theme is steamy/erotic romance. Anyone who reads my books knows how much I enjoy writing this sort of story. A while back I published a series of short stories through JMS Books. The little series is called Pain and Pleasure. Well, Taren and Ian will be back in a novel called Force Majeure. This story has all sorts of hot, BDSM goodness between an established couple. And, because it’s me, there’s a bit of suspense when an old flame of one man comes back into their lives and causes upset in their lives and marriage. For those of you who are fans of BDSM romance and/or the Pain and Pleasure series watch my website, newsletter and Facebook group for teasers and updates. Oh, and the awesome title was the suggestion of one of my beta readers, the only person who knows the plot right now and let me tell you, it’s a perfect title!

A perilous climb to love.

In a dark cave, Clint must rely on the skills he learned from Griff to survive!

After ten wonderful years together, despite challenges and changes, both good and bad, Griff Diamond and Clint Bishop still love each other but their physical relationship has lost the spark it once had. Griff’s career as a US Marshall is going strong, but after being laid off from his job Clint pursues a career as writer and becomes a published author.

When another writer turns his friendly relationship with Clint into an obsession Clint’s life is put in danger. Kidnapped and taken to the Jewel Cave system in South Dakota, Clint must use the skills he’s learned over the years from Griff, a seasoned caver, to stay alive.

Using every skill he has, Griff races against time to save Cliff from his crazed kidnapper. Will he get back the love he was afraid he’d lost?

Excerpt/ Teaser

“Griff, despite your best efforts to screw up evidence in Clint’s car when you searched it, there were trace amounts of blood found inside, soaked into the seat fabric. Matches the blood we found in your house,” Jim said.

“Thanks. We’ll be upstairs in a few minutes,” Griff said and ended the call.

“There’s something I’ve been wondering, and I think this answers that question. How the hell did this guy get Clint out of the house without anyone seeing anything? I know it was the middle of the day, but every time I’ve been on your street, people are around. While you were gone I interviewed a few of your neighbors. The blind lady who lives in the house kitty-corner across the street from you heard a different vehicle’s engine, which sort of amazes me. She thought the car might have pulled into your drive or the house next to you.”

“I already know no one was home in the house just east of me. What about the house on the other side? They have two little kids and are outside with them a lot,” Griff said.

“They were gone for the day—went to the zoo,” Candice said. “The man across from you works nights and he was asleep. The family with the landscaping business had their crews out from dawn and no one came home until it was getting dark. It seems like the timing of this was thought out, and we know he was watching your house at various times.” She stopped talking for the few minutes it took her to park the car. “Clint’s a big guy. Here’s my theory. Hatchet moves Clint’s car and pulls his stolen van up to your side door. Really, would you notice if Clint’s car wasn’t exactly in the same spot, moved a foot or so?”

Griff shook his head. “No. And the part of the driveway closest to the side door is between our house and the neighbor’s. It would be possible to get something or someone out of the house and into the van without being seen.” Griff stopped and grabbed Candice’s arm. “All the urine. Clint had a seizure.”

“Is that something he does?”

“No, it’s not. What’s the statistic? More than 50 percent of people put in a choke hold and rendered unconscious have a seizure while waking up.” The whole thought made Griff sick.

Candice grabbed her wrist and mimicked the act of using a choke hold. “Hatchet chokes Clint out, and by some miracle doesn’t kill him since I’m sure he never had training. That gives him a minute or less to fight off your dog, restrain Clint, and get him out of the house and into a van.”

“So what else did he use, stolen Isoflurane? How? And where did he take Clint?”
