Reader Corner

Hello and welcome to Reader Corner! 

Ever since my very first book was published a highlight for me has been interacting with readers. I love learning about others and giving them a place to tell us about themselves. If you're interested in joining the fun email me at elizabeth.noble19@gmail.com or use the contact link at the top of the page.


Today I welcome Claire Potterton. She's a fascinating lady with an awesome family. Thank you for sharing a bit of yourself and your lovely family with us!

Elizabeth: Tell us a bit about yourself:

Claire:

​I usually get in to trouble for my response to ‘tell me a bit about yourself’, because I always say ‘I’m a Mum’, but it does in fact cover it quite nicely. My children have made me who I am. Their challenges have certainly defined the way I view life, and I'd like to think that they have made me a better person.  Ensuring their needs are met has made me a fighter, the need for acceptance and understanding of various aspects of their lives has led to me taking to the stage and speaking out, and raising them on my own has made me stronger that I ever thought I could be!

​My eldest son, Cas, has just turned 16. He came out as trans a couple of years ago, has high functioning autism and is beginning a Performing Arts course in September. He is a self taught ukulele and guitar player, writes obsessively, and loves cosplay. His courage and determination take my breath away.

​Next come Ollie and Daniel, they turn 14 in the summer and are incredibly tall! Dan has autism, both have ADHD, and both have Cerebral Palsy; not that they ever allow any of those things stop them having a go at anything! Both play guitar, and are technology wizards, which comes in very handy, given that I am a total technophobe.


​Phoebe is 11, and my only girl; book obsessed, just like her Mum, a total diva, destined for the stage….and starting high school in September.  Aaaargh!

​Then there's my baby, who sadly isn't a baby anymore, or so he likes to remind me, often! Alfie is 8, a whizz at maths, (he doesn't get it from me) and a total cuddle monster. An Alfie hug can brighten the darkest of days!
Picture
​Aside from the mothering, I'm short, slightly overweight, change my hair colour on a monthly basis, bake incessantly and am hopelessly in lust with Gale Harold!

The humans in my house just outnumber our four legged friends. We have three cats, Tiger, Lottie and Harry, (15, 11 and 3), and two dogs. Fergie is an 11 year old Rough Collie bitch and Storm is a completely crackers, 4 year old Siberian Husky. They drive me crazy, ensure I have to vacuum on a daily basis, and keep me fit and active.

Elizabeth: Why were you drawn to this genre?

Claire: I have been an avid reader since I was a kid, torch under the covers and all, but my switch to MM came about as a result of stories cropping up in a few series that I was reading; Ethan, by Nicole Edwards, Lover At Last by JR Ward, and Let Love Live by Melissa Collins. I searched out more books in the genre and very quickly became hooked. Why? Various reasons. The story is often more intensely emotional; a battle to be won, triumph over hate and bigotry.

There is no lead character to make me feel inadequate, no tall, slim, sexy woman with flawless skin, pert and perky boobs etc; and let's be honest, these stories are often hot as Hades!

Reading is my escape, the off switch for my often chaotic life, and quite possibly the saviour of my mental health. The genre has also made me some rather lovely new friends!

Elizabeth: Do you prefer eBooks or paperbacks:

Claire: I generally read ebooks, but have a fairly healthy collection of ‘real’ books, old and new. I would love to have more, but short of having a couple of the kids adopted, I just don't have the space!

Elizabeth: What's your favorite TV show or movie?

Claire: ​I rarely watch television, it's more effective than a sleeping pill these days, although I have a couple of series on DVD that I watch from time to time. OK, one of them is a bit more than ‘from time to time’, QAF is a bit of an obsession! 

Elizabeth: What music do you listen to? Rec’s welcomed!

Claire: ​Music is also an obsession in our house, any and all music. 80’s rock is loved by everyone, (my kids have been well educated), but my tastes also run to opera, country, 90’s disco, musicals, jazz…….you get the picture. Sadly, my singing voice is reminiscent of a cat being strangled, not that it stops me belting out my favourites; my children however, appear to have inherited their voices from there father..thank goodness!

We are a slightly bonkers, decidedly weird, and incredibly happy bunch.

    Welcome to My World
    Elizabeth Noble

    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 Cleveland Guardians!) and gardening. She can often be found working in her 'outside office' listening to classic rock and plotter her next novel waiting for it to be dark enough to gaze at the stars.

    Elizabeth has received a number of amateur writing awards. Since being published, several of her novels have received Honorable Mentions in the Rainbow Awards. Jewel Cave was a runner-up in the Gay Mystery/Thriller category in the 2015 Rainbow Awards. Ringed Love was a winner in the Gay Fantasy Romance category of the 2016 Rainbow Awards.
