Author: Jody Wallace | Website

Jody Wallace grew up in the South in a very rural area. She went to school a long time and ended up with a Master's Degree in Creative Writing. Her resume includes college English instructor, technical documents editor, market analyst, web designer, and general all around pain in the butt. One of her many alter egos is "The Grammar Wench", which should give you an indication of her character. She is a terrible packrat and likes to amass vintage clothing, books, Asian-inspired kitchenware, gnomes, and other items that threaten to force her family out of the house. She also likes cats. A lot.

Ms. Wallace's approach to writing is to tell as many outlandish lies as she can get her readers to swallow. Her dream is to be moderately well-paid for this service. When her stories end up spicy, she releases them as Ellie Marvel.

Pack and Coven

Harry Smith is a lone wolf, and he likes it that way. When he's targeted to be co-alpha of the local pack, there is only one thing he can do to maintain his freedom: flee. But it'll take a miracle to stay a step ahead of shifters in their own territory.

June Travis has been in love with Harry for years, but he doesn't know her real identity. He sees her as the sweet owner of the local tearoom—the facade June presents to humans and werewolves to keep them from finding out she's a witch. She may not be able to offer Harry a miracle, but she can help him escape.

Harry is drawn to this new side of June, and not just because he's grateful for her help. With her magic temporarily hiding Harry from his pursuers, the witch and the wolf explore their mutual attraction. But there are consequences for witches who bed down with wolves...

Harry Smith is a lone wolf, one that would like to keep it that way. He becomes the target of a local Alpha-female wolf, and resigns to flee from her grasp. When June Travis seemingly appears out of nowhere, things get a bit more heated in his escape to freedom from the Pack. Offering him not a miracle, but a helping hand, she puts herself and her magic on the line by trying to assist the man she loves. When

Liam's Gold

He-s the leprechaun, but she-s the one who can make his dreams come true.

Sal Winter, a computer tech, has lived next door to Liam for years. They-re friends-just not that kind of friends. Sal wishes it could be more, but she-s come to accept Liam will never want anything from her except her computer skills.

As for Liam, he-s a leprechaun in disguise who has no intention of granting anyone-s wish except his own: to taste the delights of one Miss Salvia Rose Winter before his sojourn in humanspace comes to an end. Sal possesses a gene that gives her the power to detect leprechauns. The closer Liam sticks to Sal, the greater the risk-and the better his cover, which is becoming critical as his time in humanspace runs short.

Time isn-t the only thing running short for Liam. A nemesis from the Realm is bearing down on him, determined to do anything to prevent his return to their homeland. Including murder the woman he-s only just realized he loves.

Warning: This book contains bad leprechaun jokes, worse leprechaun behavior, great leprechaun sex and absolutely no little bearded men in green coats.


Survival of the Fairest
No magic for two weeks? What's a fairy to do? Go to Vegas, of course! Princess Talista of the fairy clan Serendipity has been sent, like all young fairies, to a remote forest in humanspace for mandatory survival training. But headstrong Tali's got different ideas about where to spend two weeks without magic. What better place than Las Vegas to learn to live like humans, a true test of survival? Tali might not blend, but she'd like to be shaken and stirred with stage magician Jake Story. Their attraction is instant and electric.and Tali senses there's more to Jake's show than flashy tricks. Jake always knew he was different, even before he developed an unusual flair for hypnotism. He has no trouble mesmerizing the luscious Tali during act three, but the lights that appear around them when they kiss weren't part of the program. When the authorities from Tali's homeland track the missing princess to Vegas, Jake and Tali end up on the run. In between magic experiments, evil gnomes and astonishing sex, Tali learns what it really means to be human-by falling in lust, followed closely by love. But Tali's not human. And Jake doesn't believe in fairies. The truth will either bind them together-or tear the fairy realm apart. Warning, this title contains the following: Intoxicating sex, misuse of magic, gorgeous cross-dressers and flesh-eating gnomes.

One Thousand Kisses

When one path closes, another opens—if they survive the journey.

Embor Fiertag, Primary of the Court, has overcome no tougher challenge than the three facing him right now: get reelected, capture the rogue agents who tried to murder him, and improve his love life. The third one should be easy—except he hasn’t exactly told Court trainee Anisette Serendipity she’s his foretold bondmate. Plus, she’s dating his chief political rival and doesn’t seem to like Embor. At. All.

Ani has good reason to avoid the stern, serious Embor. Her wayward sister almost got him killed once, and now he monitors Ani like he expects her to do worse. But Ani’s not the adventurous type. She can’t even break up with Warran Torval, a man she knows she doesn’t want, a man who spends half his time plotting Embor’s downfall.

When Torval attempts to force a bond with Ani, Embor senses her fear and steps in…directly into an unsavory political strategy gone all too right. Forced to flee together to humanspace with a manipulative magical cat, Embor and Ani must find the courage to reveal—and heal—their vulnerabilities before the fabric between the Fey Realm and humanspace is ripped to shreds.

Product Warnings

This title contains sex, fairy drugs, rampant gnomes, bloodshed, and cats ruling the world. As they should. 

Reviewer: Josie
Review: Jun 17, 2011
Genre(s): Romance, Fantasy, Fae / Elves
One Thousand Kisses is an unusually long (I'm guessing 150,000 words or so) complex story full of faeries, gnomes, cats, and magical globes. It's the second in a series, although it stands alone. Ember Fiertag, an elected official, is fighting for political survival. He'd have a better chance if he weren't obsessed with fighting corruption and trying to bring those who'd wronged him to justice. His fights h

A Spell for Susannah

Princess Susannah is the eldest of twelve sisters who discovered a land beneath their palace that definitely has an edge over the Middle Kingdoms:  the secret land is chock full of princes who just love to dance.  A fairy cursed the Middle Kingdoms nobility to bear no more male children, and the human lands are on the verge of anarchy.

Susannah, alone among mortals, discovers she can work fairy magic, but it's just another secret she has to keep from her parents.  When the King and Queen employ Jon Tom, a very handsome detective, to discover where the princesses sneak and go dancing every night, Susannah finds herself wanting to tell him all her secrets.

The problem is, when Susannah's secrets go public, the fairies are going to come looking for her, and they won't be happy.

Warning: this title contains the following: hot sex, hot springs sex, hot-to-trot women and patriarchal hardheadedness.
