Elizabeth Roderick

ELIZABETH RODERICK is the author of Love and Money, Hoodlum Army, and The Other Place Series, and Gracie & Zeus Live The Dream (Summer 2021 from Cinnabar Moth Publishing), as well as many short stories in various anthologies.

She and her daughter help run a small, diversified farm in Eastern Washington. She is a musician and songwriter, and has played in many bands—mostly guitar, bass and keyboards.

Elizabeth’s stories are about love, death, gang warfare, and madness, with characters of the type that society generally shuns: addicts, convicts, and the neurodivergent. She is a neurodivergent person and a disability rights activist.

Elizabeth believes if people get to know those who live on the fringes of society, both in stories and in real life, they’ll find them more likeable than they originally thought.

Selected Books by Elizabeth Roderick

Gracie & Zeus Live The Dream

May 11, 2021 (Cinnabar Moth Publishing)

I think it was amazing and I started immediately laughing. I felt enamored with the world.

Beatriz (ARC Review)

Pffft. Omg. Okay, you got my attention from the opening sentence. Have not run across a hook like this yet haha. This is a great cozy mystery, I loved it!

Mady D (ARC Review)

The eponymous Gracie and Zeus are very complex and interesting characters. Roderick also does a really good job exploring otherness in society, and subverting negative tropes associated with people who are othered.

Camelcasepls (Goodreads)

Maureen (Goodreads)

This book is full of comedy, but I most enjoyed the connection between Grace and Zeus. I liked how they understood and loved each other.

Camila (ARC Review)

I like that Zeus doesn't care care a out what ohters think most of the time and still has profound and reflective moments

Davison (ARC Review)

It has humor, a light fun read, awesome, really engaged in the mystery part of the plot main narrator, a feel-good ending and a solid plot to back it all up—really everything I can ask out of a good cozy mystery.

Maddy (ARC Review)

This book is really funny from beginning to end.

Gabrela (ARC Review)

The Hoodlum Army

Independently published

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys action packed excitement, non-preachy social commentary, and/or rooting for the underdog.

Betsy (Goodreads)

The story takes you along for the ride and you can't wait to find out what happens. When you do, you will wish it wasn't over.

Cynthia (Goodreads)

I genuinely liked our protagonists, appreciated both the LBGTQ and neurodivergence rep, and just had a fun time.

Kirstin (Goodreads)

Pleasures include a fast pace, entertaining dialogue, social commentary, and a certain sweetness.... A rollicking caper with a smorgasbord of kooky characters.
