- Tell us about your latest release and what you think readers will enjoy about it.
Latest release is Boy Toy, the 2nd book in the Call Me series. I hope the readers enjoy the humor and heat.
- Care to tell us a little about the person behind the author name? What do you do for fun when not writing?
I spend time with my husband, children and grandchildren. When we get the time and have the money, you’ll find my husband and I traveling.
In spring and summer, you’ll find me in the yard puttering. I enjoy gardening and am a Certified Master Gardener.
- The holidays are coming. What is one of your favorite holiday traditions and why?
Getting together at each other’s homes and eating, talking and playing with the kids.
- Paranormal and Urban Fantasy are very popular genres right now. Is there a genre you enjoy but haven’t written yet?
Actually, I’ll be tackling a mainstream/women’s fiction project after the first of year that I’m excited about. Life Changes will tell the story of how the life of a woman who just turned fifty changes after the death of her husband and covers the relationships between her and her daughters.
- If someone were to play you in a movie, what actor would it be and why?
Good heavens, I have no idea at this point. I’ve been told I remind people of Mary Tyler Moore, though I’m not that old and Carol Burnett (not that old either).
- What comes first: the plot or the characters?
It can be either. If the story idea comes first, I develop the character from there. If the character is first, then I ask what if… to come up with the plot. A lot of times the idea comes to me as a package.
- When you looked in the mirror this morning, what was the first thing you thought?
God, I need a facelift!
- We popped in for a spell and opened your fridge, what would we find there?
Let’s see, today…milk, lots of yogurt which we need to eat up before leaving on a trip on the 19th, apples, salad makings, sandwich makings (mostly turkey) and cheese. Tomorrow there will be leftover soup added to the list.
- You are awarded three cabana boys/girls and you can choose anyone (Celebrities, characters, etc). Who would you choose and why?
Finn from Boy Toy…great bartender
Johnny Depp…to find out how much of Captain Jack there really is in him
George Clooney….that’s for me to know (grin)
- You got a celebrity for 15 minutes, who would you chose and what would you do? See George above…same answer…LOL
- Where can we find your books?

Sneak look into Boy Toy by Lizzie T. Leaf:
“You ever hear of adult entertainment?” A big grin spread across Dulcie’s generous lips.
The phone rang before Scarlett could reply.
“Excuse me, sugar. I gotta get this since I’m short-handed.” Dulcie reached for the phone. “Call Me Agency, how can I make your dreams come true?”
Scarlett had never heard anyone answer a phone in this manner. She watched as Dulcie listened to the caller and made notes for a couple of minutes before she replied.
“Of course, sugar, we got just the girl who can do that for you. Let’s get the nasty payment business out of the way, and then we can get you on the road to pleasure.”
Fascinated Scarlett waited as Dulcie pulled a credit card form out of the top drawer of her desk and begin to fill in information.
“How many minutes do you want me to set you up for, sugar? My, my. We do plan to talk awhile, don’t we?” She punched numbers into a credit card machine as she chatted. “Okay, sugar, you’re all approved. Let me get you set with one of our loveliest girls. Hang on and the next voice you hear will be hers.”
Scarlett listened mystified, unsure what type of transaction this conversation covered. Dulcie punched another phone line and entered numbers, winking at Scarlett while she waited.
“Be right with you in a minute. This won’t take long.”
“No problem.” Scarlett was in no hurry to get yet another rejection.
“Jill. How you doing, girlfriend?” Dulcie laughed at whatever was said in her ear. “Got a live one for you. He wants to talk to his mistress. Seems he’s been a bad boy and needs to be punished. From the amount he had me run on his credit card, he needs a lot of punishment.”
Punishment? Why on earth would someone call for punishment? Scarlett puzzled in her mind.
