Interview with Elizabeth Monvey

 

 

Jacey Holbrand and Elizabeth Monvey are happy to present the second book – Future, Betrayed – in the Project Mars series they’ve developed. They’ve been having fun creating a futuristic world in which humans are living and loving on Earth and on Mars while fighting to survive the outrageous ministrations of rogue scientists in an agency called Sector. They have four books so far in the works in the series. Book one – Future, Broken – is available through eTailers. Books three and four, as of this writing, are works in progress. But for now, here’s an interview with author Elizabeth Monvey.

 

1. Q) Is your book part of a series? If so, can you tell us about it?

Yes, it’s part of the Project Mars series by myself and Jacey Holbrand. We came up with this concept one day during a brainstorming session at a local coffee house. Jacey took point on the first book (Future, Broken) and I did the second book.

1. Q) What was the hardest or easiest scene to write?

One of the easiest scenes to write was a fight scene that Dain has while on the transport ship to Mars. Earlier that day at work my boss really made me angry so I needed to vent. I came up with the fight scene as a way to get my anger out and on paper.

1. Q) Do you write in a linear fashion or do you jump from scene to scene and then go back and “fill in the blanks”?

Most of the time I write in a very linear fashion, but sometimes I have an idea further down my story’s time line and will write it out.

1. Q) What are your upcoming projects?

Jacey and I are working on book 3 in the Project Mars series, and she’s even started blocking out book 4. As for me, I have a new upcoming book in the My Boyfriend Is… series titled “My Incubus Boyfriend”.

Ben Stockton lives on a dying Earth. A poisoned atmosphere and fertility
issues are only two of the reasons people flock to the Project Mars
Lottery, hoping to win a chance to go to the Red Planet. When Ben’s
husband, Dain, is targeted as a potential DNA donor, the once
exciting prospect of starting over turns into a nightmare.

Forced to work for the governmental scientific agency, Sector, Dain is sent
to Mars on a secret mission, while Ben has to remain behind.
Separated from each other, they try to cling to the memories of their
love as well as the hope that one day they’ll be reunited.

But Sector has different plans for the couple. Unbeknownst to Ben, Sector
has used him as a test subject in a desperate bid to cure the
sterility problems facing the human race. Impregnated and left alone,
Ben stumbles upon the underground resistance. It will take all his
strength to find the love of his life before Dain is lost to him forever.

Nathaniel Stockton and Grover Silas Ranger are faced with the ultimate test to
their relationship when the Project Mars Lottery comes to town. Nate
wins a chance to have his dreams come true: to live and work on the
red planet with his love. Yet his husband, Ranger, doesn’t see the
point of going from one bad place to another. But an evil
organization called Sector has a completely different idea for the couple.

Kidnapped, experimented on, impregnated, and sent to Mars,

Nate realizes too late he trusted the wrong people.

Ranger fights to find a way to Nate. Will he make it to his love before
their dreams and lives are irrevocably broken by distance, a
pregnancy, and the corrupt agency?
