Publisher: Entangled
Book Description:
Captain Nikolas EstherVorn is a
traitor. Or so it was decreed after Niko disobeyed protocol while trying to
save Earth from other-dimensional creatures. Stuck in a prison cell, the last
thing he needs is to be in close proximity to sexy-as-sin Dr. Sarah
CallenJoseph. Not with him damn near ready to break out just to get to her.
Niko's desire isn't quite his
own…and Sarah can prove it. He—along with the other soldiers on the disastrous
mission—were drugged with some kind of toxin. Niko has no clue how the drug got
into his body or why, but Sarah suspects there’s a link between the toxin and
the fertility crisis of Shipborn humans.
To investigate is forbidden. But
as lust becomes something deeper, binding them together in a way neither
expected, Niko and Sarah must battle time—and their superiors—to uncover the
secret that could save humanity...or destroy it.

JODY WALLACE
Book:
TRAITOR
Genre:
SCIENCE FICTION ROMANCE
Release
date: JULY 28, 2015
Where
are you from?
Tennessee.
The boonies.
Tell
us your latest news?
I
bought a house. I had to. We got 4 more cats, you know.
When
and why did you begin writing?
I
wanted to get paid for being such a dang liar and I’m too shy for politics.
When
did you first consider yourself a writer?
In
elementary school. It all started with the letter A.
What
inspired you to write your first book?
My
teacher in the gifted program in high school told me to.
Do
you have a specific writing style?
Snarky
but with fantastic grammar.
How
did you come up with the title?
It
was one word, and I’m lazy.
Is
there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
AIs
aren’t automatically out to get us. Unless they are.
How
much of the book is realistic?
Only
the parts about the soul-devouring entities. I think they’re the same thing as
oil spills.
Are
experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?
Mostly
that time I got swifted away by fake angels when I was in my twenties and I had
to bust open their Chosen One prophecy about me, but in this book, there are a
lot more guns. I’m pretty pacifist when it comes right down to it.
What
books have most influenced your life most?
Moby
Dick, because it almost made me hate reading. Overcoming that dislike was
significant.
If
you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?
Chaucer.
He made up almost as many words as I do.
What
book are you reading now?
JA
Coffey’s Pants on Fire
Are
there any new authors that have grasped your interest?
Well,
they wouldn’t be very polite to just reach out and grasp me without my
permission. I have a really large personal space.
What
are your current projects?
I’m
working on the sequel to TRAITOR and scooping a lot of cat pans.
What
would you like my readers to know?
For a
good laugh, you can get
the first book in my science fiction romance spoof series for free (http://bit.ly/1xWJYta)! And get TRAITOR (http://bit.ly/1fmGE4b) for only $1.99 during its first month
of publication.
