Best Laid Plans

Obviously, I didn’t make it back in 2021. In fact, that and 2022 turned out to be pretty awful years for me. Last year, both my mother and my father in law (or would be if the SO and I were married) passed away. Before, it was a lot of sickness and sadness.

Still getting over it. Please don’t give up on me. I’m trying to get back. Really. Just… don’t know when yet.

Huge apologies for leaving the HS reboot unfinished. That’s my goal when I get back on track.

Plan to Reappear in 2021

First and foremost, apologies. My last author-type communication was in February of this year. Since then, I’ve pretty much dropped off the Jet Mykles scene. Like so many — too many — people, I succumbed to depression and isolation in 2020, doing just enough to get by (although, I have to say, working from home every day for the EDJ was a perk). Because of this, I’ve stalled my progress with the Heaven Sent reboot and my other books are not currently available.

My goal is to change that in 2021!

Hell – Excerpt

Available February 2020

Pre-order now Amazon as an ebook. Also through Kindle Unlimited and the Kindle Lending Library

EXTENDED REMIX!

Includes the short story Feisty Little Firecracker.

BLURB:

Heaven Sent gets a hell of new keyboardist with a name to match. Heller Witting is an amazing musician and proves to be key to a sound that the band was missing. With lavender hair and big violet eyes, he captivates Brent Rose from the start, and not just with his music.

Brent knows better than to get involved with a member of the band. That just invites trouble and the last thing he wants is trouble for Heaven Sent. So he’ll just keep the attraction to himself. Doesn’t matter anyway. Hell couldn’t possibly want him. After all, Brent’s not gorgeous and flashy like the other members of the band.

When Hell makes his interest in Brent all too obvious, Brent is unprepared and unable to stay away.

Fine, if they just keep it at sex, everything will be all right.

“I’ve been watching you.”

They were going to do this now? He patted his pocket for his pack of smokes. “Yeah.” He wasn’t ready. If he stalled, hopefully Hell would give up and head on up to his room alone.

“I want you.”

Brent froze, anger draining as he was speared by an intense violet gaze.

Hell is Coming Soon

I promise!

The manuscript is in the hands of a few trusted readers who said they’d get back to me soonest. I’m working on the cover this weekend. Then I need a mild edit to make sure that the grammar and punctuation are intact and it should be good to go! Aiming for the end of the month.

This one took awhile for various reasons and for that I can only apologize and curse real life. But I’ve already started reviewing Faith so hopefully that one won’t take as long.

Stay tuned…

Quick Update – Hell

Just a quick update, my lovelies. I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth and I haven’t forgotten you or the remix project. Real life’s given me a swift kick in the pants recently and I’m getting through that.

But I am back to work on the Hell remix. Trouble is, this book gave me fits when I wrote it and it’s not proving to be much easier this time around. But never fear, the imp will have his time in the spotlight. He demands no less!

Purgatory – Excerpt

This entry is part 2 of 3 in the series Heaven Sent excerpts

Available July 2019

Exclusive on Amazon as an ebook. Also through Kindle Unlimited and the Kindle Lending Library

EXTENDED REMIX!

Includes the short story Sexy Spring Surprise.

The remix includes scenes from Luc’s point of view!

BLURB:

Lucas Sloane defines beautiful for Reese.

Tall and sleek with gorgeous red hair and deep, dark eyes to drown in, it’s no wonder that the famous bass player of Heaven Sent is the hero of many a starry-eyed teenager’s dreams. Reese used to be one of those teens back when Heaven Sent was no more than the house band for the local club, Purgatory. Back then, Reese found the courage to confess his love to Luc…only to be soundly rejected. Luc wasn’t gay. Not long after, Heaven Sent left town and skyrocketed into rock and roll stardom.

Now, four years later, Luc is back in town for a visit and more gorgeous than ever. Surprisingly, he not only apologizes for his treatment of Reese years ago, he comes onto him. Luc’s discovered the pleasures of being with a man and wants to know what it’d be like between the two of them. But Reese can’t. He lives the straight and narrow, teaches high school…he’s even got a girlfriend. He has a normal life. He can’t be gay. But it’s hard to deny the man who’s defined everything beautiful in Reese’s artistic mind.

No one has to know about it, right?

Reese stretched his legs before him, staring at the squared toes of his shiny black leather shoes. That perverse need to talk that takes you over when you’re drunk grabbed him by the balls. “After you guys left, things just weren’t the same.”

Luc said nothing, so Reese continued. “Parties just weren’t all that much fun anymore. At first they were all about what you guys were doing and being happy for you.  We had some ragers when your first album came out.” He smiled at the memories, most of which were hazy and melancholy. He’d been joyous for the success of people he knew, but he’d also been sad. “But you weren’t ours anymore, y’know? You belonged to the world.” A glance up showed those dark eyes on him. Gentle, patient, waiting. For what, he didn’t know and currently didn’t have the brain capacity to contemplate. He shrugged. “We all… oh, I don’t know. We all felt part of it somehow, at first, but then —” He shook his head, eyes on the moon. “— then it was just empty. Just didn’t seem a reason to go out anymore. The only thing left was to grow up.”

“Fuck that.”
