Hello, lovelies.

What do you do while writing that others might find unusual?
One thing I do when creating a story or series, is I always have a title and I know roughly how the last couple of paragraphs go, so the ending is always firmly cemented in my head.
I often have music playing or a movie on TV.
Who is an author you would like to meet and talk to over dinner and why?
Michio Kaku. He takes an otherwise dry, confusing subject and brings it to life. THAT is real writing.
Where and when do you prefer to write?
When it’s nice out I prefer being outside. Otherwise I have a nice office I’ll sit in and write using my desktop. Sometimes I’ll sit on the couch with my laptop and my dog and write there.
What is a typical writing day like for you?
If I work then I usually only have a few hours after work for writing. I look at writing a book, managing my website and editing all as another job.
If it’s a day I don’t work sometimes I’ll write first thing in the morning, but it’s more common that I use the morning time to work on my website, answer emails, blog and answer interview questions. I tend to get more into a story and writing in the afternoon and evening. In the warmer months I spend time in my backyard with my dog and laptop.
What inspired Run for the Roses?
I’ve wanted to try writing more contemporaries and I love mysteries. I couldn’t find the right type of story or characters until I saw something advertised about last year’s Kentucky Derby and inspiration hit me over the head. I love horses, what’s not to love? A mystery surrounding the Derby was a perfect fit for me.

BLURB:
Wanting to end his pattern of choosing controlling and abusive men, Vladimir ‘Val’ Mihalic figures it’s better to live alone than live in fear. Just when things are settling down—his biggest trouble recently is a Kentucky Derby hopeful that won’t load into a starting gate—his best friend Janelle’s violent ex-boyfriend kidnaps her. After she’s seriously injured in a car wreck, Wyatt Harig, Janelle’s estranged father, comes around to tend to his daughter. Despite Val’s determination to avoid relationships, Wyatt interests him in ways that make his resolve waver. As complications and repercussions pile on in the aftermath of Janelle’s kidnapping—including a gambling charge and a murder—Wyatt and Val must work together to seek answers. And the closer they get to each other, the more Val wants them to stay that way.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Elizabeth Noble started telling stories before she actually knew how to write, and her family was very happy when she learned to put words on a page. Those words turned into fan fiction that turned into a genuine love of M/M romance fiction. Being able to share her works with Dreamspinner is really a dream come true. She has a real love for all things sci-fi, futuristic, and supernatural and a bit of an unnatural interest in a super-volcano in Wyoming.
Elizabeth has three grown children and is now happily owned by an adorable mixed breed canine princess named Rosie, and two cats, Murphy and Yeti. She lives in her native northeast Ohio, the perfect place for gardening, winter and summer sports (go Tribe!). When she’s not writing she’s working as a veterinary nurse, so don’t be surprised to see her men with a pet or three who are a very big part of their lives.
