Author Q&A: L.C. Davis + Excerpt & Giveaway!

Interview Banner

Please welcome L.C. Davis to The Blogger Girls!

Tell readers a little about His Taken Omega…. in three sentences or less!

Avery is an omega spokesman for the Futurus matchmaking program and the fiancé of a rising star in shifter politics, and Nicholas is an Alpha who can’t stand to be in the same room with an unmated omega for long. When Avery is sent to Nicholas’ small-town pack to recover from his kidnapping, the rivalry between them turns into an unexpected bond that throws a wrench in…pretty much everything.   

How did you come up with the names for your characters?

The first names just come with the characters, and the surnames are usually nods to classic horror or Sci-Fi, because I’m a total nerd. Avery’s name is a reference to Father Callahan from Stephen King’s “Salem’s Lot” and “Wolves of the Calla.” Nicholas Meyer is a nod to, well, Stephenie Meyer, since he has a fondness for vampire romance. Metcalf comes from a cheesy 90s Sci-Fi parody and so on. 😉  

How would you describe those characters?

Avery and Nicholas are both headstrong perfectionists who spend way too much time worrying about their reputations at the beginning of the story. They differ in the sense that Avery is much more optimistic, but Nicholas comes around…eventually.

Was it hard for you to write this book or did it flow easily for you?

It flowed pretty easily! I knew from the moment Avery showed up in “Alpha, Beta, Omega” that his story would be next, and I’m lucky that he kept talking! Lol

Do you tend to leave little clues in your books that reference other books, movies or shows that are not commonly known except to certain fans (such as TARDIS from Doctor Who, sparkly vampires from Twilight, etc.)? If not, have you ever thought of it?

There is definitely a bit of a nod to “Twilight” and “The Vampire Diaries” with the book Nicholas is reading in “His Taken Omega.” 😉

What do you hope readers will take from His Taken Omega?

I hope they take away the idea that no matter what you’ve been through in the past, and no matter how “less than enough” you feel, everyone is the perfect person for someone.  

And a silly question, what’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten?

I’m Native and Appalachian, so I think some of the cultural foods I grew up with would seem unusual to other people. Pickled pig’s feet in a can is a childhood memory that comes to mind.

Awesome, thank you so much for stopping by! Check out below for more info on His Taken Omega!

A Cowboy for Caleb by L.C. Davis: Exclusive Excerpt & Giveaway!

The temptation you wish you could resist?
Overthinking. I overthink pretty much everything. I could do better at resisting chocolate.
The film you can watch time and time again?
The Exorcist. I’m a horror junkie, so any of the classics, really.
The unlikely interest that engages your curiosity?
I’m kind of obsessed with religious studies. From the mainstream to the archaic, what people believe about the supernatural has always interested me.
The poem that touches your soul?
I have yet to read a poem by Rumi I didn’t love. “I am not this hair. I am not this skin. I am the soul that lives within,” is probably my favorite.
The song that means the most to you?
It’s hard to pick just one, but “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis has always been the song I associate with how I feel about my partner, so I’d go with that!
The unfulfilled ambition that continues to haunt you?
I have always wanted to be fluent in another language. Particularly Spanish. I’m working on it, actually, but I’m nowhere near as proficient as I’d like to be!
Your early recollections of writing fiction?
Bad fanfiction. That’s all I’m gonna say!
The way you would spend your fantasy twenty-four hours, with no travel restrictions?
I’d like to say something romantic, like visiting the Grecian ruins or ancient temples, but honestly, I would probably just try every famous food in as many countries as I could get to.
The pet hate that makes your hackles rise?
The sound of someone chewing with their mouth open. I can’t handle it.
The figure from history you would most like to buy a pie and a pint?
St. Joan of Arc. Doesn’t get more badass than her!
The piece of wisdom you would pass onto a child?
Do not listen to me, small human, I have no clue what I’m doing.
The philosophy that underpins your life?
Hustle hard, set boundaries and be kind to people.
The character you enjoyed writing the most?
From my latest release, Dustin was really fun to write for! He’s such a dude. Literally. I mean, he works on a ranch. Everything is pretty straightforward for him, and he’d do anything for his omega and his pack. He’s hard not to love.
The character you found difficult to write?
Dustin’s mom. I still have a hangover from her evilness.

About A Cowboy for Caleb

Falling for his deceased twin brother’s mate was never part of Dustin’s plan.

This midwestern Alpha might be a little rough around the edges, but he lives by a few simple principles and honor is chief among them.

Nonetheless, when tragedy strikes the Meadowlands Pack, Dustin feels he has no choice but to bring his twin’s mate home to take care of him. The only problem is, Caleb isn’t anything like Dustin expected of the city omega who stole his brother’s heart and divided their family.

What starts out as trying to do the right thing soon becomes a blurry series of complicated decisions that lead Dustin further away from the path he’s always followed—and further into the arms of the one omega he was never supposed to want.

Caleb has been through the worst a mated omega could fear. He’s lost his mate and their unborn child, and now he finds himself at the mercy of an Alpha who has every reason to hate him.

Despite being twins, Dustin and Caleb’s former mate, Alec, are nothing alike. Caleb wants nothing more than to please his new Alpha and secure his position in the pack, but Dustin seems to take everything he says the wrong way.

As forbidden tensions mount between Alpha and omega, Caleb begins to fear that Dustin will start taking his developing interest the right way.
