With the Heaven Sent series, I delve into the wonderful world of yaoi. If you don’t know what yaoi is, I recommend visiting the Yaoicon website and reading up on this genre of homosexual fiction that was born through Japanese manga and has become a thriving industry. Yaoi is basically pretty boys doing pretty boys, and, man, did I have fun coming up with my boys. I’ve done my very best to pay tribute to and be honest to the genre that sparked this idea and I’m tickled that many yaoi fans have enjoyed the series.

Heaven Sent is a fictional rock group with originally four members: Johnnie Heaven, lead singer; Lucas Sloane, bass player; Brent Rose, lead guitar; and Darien Hughes, drummer. They are all quite gorgeous and quite wonderful and book one starts with Johnnie’s story. Johnnie, as it just so happens, is bisexual. Turns out that Luc and Brent are as well and Darien is happy to let everything think he is too. Each of the four main books in the series–Heaven, Purgatory, Hell and Faith–looks into the love life of each of the original four boys. Book 3 adds a fifth member, keyboardist Hell, to the band.

Pretty Red Ribbon is a very short story about Johnnie and Tyler after Heaven, on their first Christmas night together. Sexy Spring Surprise is another quickie, this time about Luc and Reese on a cool spring evening. Feisty Little Firecracker joins Brent and Hell now that they’re a couple, watching their first fireworks celebration together… well, sort of watching it. Sly Spectral Trick is a Halloween interlude with Darien and Chris, where Darien’s not so sure Chris is kidding about ghosts.

Genesis is about all four couples at once, taking place around a New Year’s eve concert. Trials occur, angst ensues, sex follows, endings are happy.

Revelations wasn’t a book I originally intended to write, but after all was said and done, Gretchen wanted a story. We argued, she and I, because, after all, she’s a girl and girls are a no-go in yaoi. She suggested perhaps she should get two men. Well, heck. After all she’s done to keep the boys in line, she deserved a story. Rest assured, however, that Archer and Owen are into each other as well… well, eventually.

I’ve had marvelous reaction to the boys. I attribute a lot of that to the absolutely gorgeous covers by the absurdly talented PL Nunn of Bishonenworks. If you have not seen the artwork or read the stories on her website and you like pretty boys having sex with pretty boys, GO NOW!

I’ve occasionally been asked about the titles. Did I have fun with them? Yes. There is nothing religious or evangelical about the books. Each one of the titles actually refers to a name. Heaven is Johnnie’s last name. Purgatory is the name of the club where the band got their start. Hell is the name of the new keyboardist who joins the band. Faith is the last name of the guy Darien eventually falls for. Genesis is the name of the ski resort at which they play. Revelations is the only non-tangible title, but it refers to Gretchen’s own revelations about life. See? Very simple.

I can’t wait for the 4th book. I like the website, but some of the covers was cut off. Maybe I need a longer computer screen.

A friend recently turned me on to this series and I absolutely adore it. I typically like big buff alpha males, but they boys of Heaven Sent really got to me. You write m/m sex with an intensity that I don’t see all the time and it’s incredibly erotic and compelling. I’ve already reread the first three and I’ll soon get the two shorts. I’m really looking forward to Faith; Darien has been in the background so much and I want to see him shine. Thank you for such great writing!
on 15 Jun 2007 at 5:40 pm jetmykles

Oh man, you like big buff and like my guys? cool! Because I don’t write big and buff LOL I’ve tried but they always end up being pretty *shrug*
Thanks!

I love this series! I can’t wait for book 4 and I’ll be buying the print version of the first two stories as soon as it is available.
Actually, I would buy all your stories in print if they were available.
Thanks for all the fun characters and the great pictures too!
on 12 Jul 2007 at 9:16 pm jetmykles

Oh thank YOU, Liz! That’s a high compliment

LOVED all of these books and so happy for you about the print Heaven Sent title! Very exciting! So, can you tell us who Heaven Sent 5 is about? Pretty please!
on 20 Sep 2007 at 9:29 pm Rose

I am a Heaven Fan! Love those Pretty boy rockers!Will Heaven sent 5 Genesis be a quickie or will it be more involved!
on 21 Sep 2007 at 6:05 pm jetmykles

Genesis will both be a quickie and more involved it’s about as long as Heaven, but it follows all four couples. So the stories are kind of shorter. But they’re much longer than the four holiday quickies.
on 12 Oct 2007 at 9:47 am Angelia

I just read “Heaven” again for the umpteenth time, and I adore Tyler and Johnnie. I can’t wait for “Genesis,” and I hope you keep writing about the rockers. I would love another full-length story about J/T, and then you could do Luc and Reese, etc…..How about it? Please!
on 14 Oct 2007 at 8:25 am jetmykles

Thanks, Angelia! I’m not ruling out the possiblity of more stories about the boys, but I think they’re mainly going to be background characters in any further stories I write in that world. You’ll probably get the idea when Genesis comes out
on 14 Nov 2007 at 9:22 am Rosemary DuBose

I’m new to the series, I just finished reading Faith, and it was fantastic, I was sooo moved that I must have the rest of the series now, so sensual and hot, I did not want the story to end. I so wanted to see Chris bottom at least once, lol I was so moved by this story, I cried when Darien proclaimed his love and was rejected. This is a beautiful story, I loved it. Thank you for sharing your talents with the rest of us.

Hey thanks, Sarah, for the lovely review!
Embracing Love. Oh yes, that’s a good one. Have you tried Yellow? That’s my personal favorite.

Yep. Read yellow, enjoyed it!

Hello,

I’m French and I read in English only since 2 or 3 years – So please, excuse my bad English ! – . I heard of Heaven Sent on a New French web site where you can find criticisms about books. It was a criticism from Guitou – a lover of M/M romances on the site – who was so enthusiastic that the only thing of which I could think after reading it was to read the books mentioned. I bought the two first and read them in two days ! I think that I’ve never read so fast in English ! Of course I bought the three others books just right after and devoured them !

I would thank you for your so entertaining books – so hot and so full of emotion – and thank Guitou for giving me such a desire to read you.

For information : a link to read Guitou’s criticism on “blue-moon.fr” : http://www.blue-moon.fr/spip.php?article460

Hiya,

My name’s Lanie and I just wanted to say I absolutely love the Heaven Sent series. I actually bought the fourth book in the series first because I couldn’t find the first three, but after reading Faith, I hunted around and now I have all five. You are now my all-time favorite author! Thanks for all your wonderful books and stories!
on 12 Aug 2008 at 1:08 pm jetmykles

Thanks Lanie! Huh, Darien lured you in, huh? Well hey, he’s a cutie, isn’t he?
I’m glad you enjoyed the boys!
on 04 Sep 2008 at 7:08 pm Tiffany

There are few books and stories that I’ll read over and over again, and all the Heaven Sent books have made the list. The Heaven Sent series has become comfort reading.

Thanks, Tiffany!

I’m glad I bought the four main books in one go because I just couldn’t stop reading! I love them! So… is there any chance the 5th book and the side stories are published in print?
on 28 Sep 2008 at 9:04 pm Jet Mykles

Thanks Aynia!
as for the print, I can only hope. I don’t have final decision on what goes into print or when. You’d have to ask Loose Id.

Hi Jet. I just wanted to say how much I love your Heaven Sent series. The first books I read of yours was the first two of the Dark Elves series. Since I enjoyed them so much I decided to give Heaven a shot even though I’d never read m/m. It sounded interesting but I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy the sex scenes. OMG was I surprised! It was so hot and the story so sweet I literally couldn’t stop reading. I finished it that same night. I’ve been obsessed with m/m ever since. I buy just about every m/m ebook I can get my hands on but I keep going back and re-reading Heaven and Purgatory (my two favorites). You’re a wonderful writer. I buy everything with your name on it, without even reading about the book first, and have never been disappointed. Thank you so much for hours of wonderful stories.
on 02 Nov 2008 at 10:04 pm Jet Mykles

Wow, thank you, Wanda! I’m so happy you’ve discovered the wonders of m/m thanks to Heaven Sent. Thanks for letting me know
on 22 Dec 2008 at 5:05 pm doreen bealand

I have read the first 4 books of the heaven sent series and I have tried to find out if the other books in the series will come out in print any time soon. I hope you will soon have these books out in print soon and will let me know when they will be out. I would appreciate a response in any case. I really enjoyed you Heaven Sent stories. Thank you very much.
on 22 Dec 2008 at 6:28 pm Jet Mykles

Hi Doreen,
Thanks so much for reading and enjoying the HS series!
As for the print, unfortunately, that’s not in my control. It’s up to Loose Id if they’re going to release them in print or not.
on 01 Jan 2009 at 7:08 pm Andrea

I am a big fan of yaoi stories, I love them. Heaven Sent was absolutely delicious. I read them all in two days (it was hard to put down) and had a blast. They made me laugh out loud and made my heart melt. I love each and every character, they’re some really special guys. Your characters are some of the most developed that I’ve read, with very distinct personalities. Nothing was repetitive, not even their sexual styles, which was amazing. I’m sad that I’ve read them all so fast because I want more of their story.
Your work is AMAZING! Thanks for creating and sharing it with the rest of us.
on 01 Jan 2009 at 10:49 pm Jet Mykles

Thank you!
I tried hard to make sure that each of the stories was unique, as were the characters. I didn’t want to repeat myself with any of the stories and I’m rather proud of how they came out. I’m glad you liked them.
on 12 Jan 2009 at 4:50 am Sónia

Loved, loved, loved them! Jet, you’re great, these stories are wonderful!! I especially liked Tyler, lol, and Darian’s story…really liked this one! Really fantastic!

I am and always have been a VORACIOUS reader.I started reading Yaoi manga about two years ago and have a small collection of other Erotica (Anais Nin etc.).I really enjoyed your books! The “boys” are each strong interesting characters but I empathize the most with Brent—I’m not outgoing either.
I too would like your other Heaven Sent stories in book form.Your books are treasures even on my loaded book shelves.
on 29 Jan 2009 at 10:43 am Jet Mykles

Thank you!
on 23 Feb 2009 at 1:25 pm Pet

I LOVE the Heaven Sent Boys really!!! I never read a M/M love story before and I was totally shocked!! I thought I wouldn’t be intrested in this type of story but BOY was I wrong!!!! You have opened my eyes to a whole new world and I thank you!!!!!!

I have just finished the 4th instalment (I know, I know I’m slow on the uptake) I CANNOT wait to get to the next one! and then the one after that!

Again I thank you!

P.S Do you recommend anything else for me to sink my teeth into? You have me hooked!
on 23 Feb 2009 at 2:04 pm Jet Mykles

oh I LOVE popping m/m cherries. So fun Thank you!

I would recommend any of my fellow authors at Fiction with Friction. Yes, I am biased because they are my friends but they became my friends because I love their writing. I would also recommend Anne Cain and Barb Sheriden, esp if you liked the yaoi aspect of my books. Katrina Strauss’ Blue Ruin series too. Evangeline Anderson. Stephanie Vaughn. Man, I could go on but that’s a good start.

Enjoy! M/M is a lovely addition, imho.
on 23 Feb 2009 at 4:21 pm Leslie

Love the HS stories, I have the 4 main in print and all the yummy extra’s in e-ebook. The guys remind me of some of the people I knew in my twenties and worked in the music scene. They are adorable! Not that I’m that old but that was pre mommy days. Can’t wait for the next one and the Knights. Your awesome!

PS My first M/M read too!
on 23 Feb 2009 at 7:37 pm raeve

I am in mad love with these boys! I just finished HS2 and absolutely LOVED it! I began with your Dark Elves books in print & enjoyed them so much, I got the two HS books. I love that each of the boys stories are so different; how they fit each of their personalities perfectly. J/T & D/C are my faves! I am in the process of buying all the yummy lil ebooks in between, incl Genesis. I know you’ll be branching out with side stories & am looking forward to them, but, I’ll miss these boys terribly! Thanks so much & keep writing!
on 23 Feb 2009 at 7:57 pm Jet Mykles

Hey cool, thanks! I do plan to keep on writing
on 13 Apr 2009 at 8:33 am Lori

I was turned onto a couple of your short stories, Tech Support and Snagged, by a friend on good reads. (My first m/m reads) I fell in love with your writing style and decided to dive into the Heaven Sent books. Fabulous. I’m only through the first three books, so far, but I am just head over heals for the Heaven Sent boys. So, not only am I totally converted to the m/m genre, but I think I like the pretty boys best. Yum!
on 13 Apr 2009 at 7:11 pm Jet Mykles

Yay! Thank your friend for turning you onto the Heaven Sent boys. So glad you like them
And I’m with you on the pretty boys. Yum, indeed!
on 21 May 2009 at 4:04 am Robin

Your books are great!!!!!!I read the Dark Elves series and then found Heaven. I bought all the books including the shorts and could not put them down. I actually read them all and then had to read them again they were so addicitive. Your characters are so real, will there be anymore in the heaven series I can’t wait.
on 21 May 2009 at 4:44 pm Erica

Hi Jet.
I read the first book of Heaven Sent and I enjoyed it. I didn’t have much faith in the second because sequels are never as good as the first, but I was wrong – it was better!! I finished the second and quickly moved onto the third and loved it more still. I honestly didn’t think you could find anything original for a FOURTH book but again, you proved me wrong. Book 5 was fantastic as well. I really enjoyed having all 4 couples together in the story and loved how you managed to intertwine the 4 stories and easily switch between them. I read all 5 books, as well as the 4 holiday shorts in a mere 3 days and I must say, my only disappointment was when it ended! So a very big thank you from a new fan of the boys, and I very sincerely hope to see more works with them in it.
P.S. I really did want to rave about my favourite from the series, but all 8 boys are just so gorgeous it’s impossible to separate them. So thank you again (to both you and PL Nunn – who’s work I have also read and loved) for really bringing the boys alive in my mind.
on 21 May 2009 at 5:15 pm Jet Mykles

Thank you!
There is at least one more Heaven Sent book due out, that being Heaven Sent: Revelations, but it’s got girl cooties. m/m/f girl cooties and the girl is Gretchen, their manager. Other than that, the boys will be making appearances in the Indigo Knights series when I get to that
on 21 May 2009 at 5:16 pm Jet Mykles

Wow, thanks
I did make a conscious effort to make all four stories as individual as possible while still maintaining the feel of the series. It was very important to me not to do exactly the same type of dynamic for any of the relationships.
