The Sinners/Crossroads Boys Go On Tour!

Absinthe_Malice_RhysFordThe Sinners/Crossroads boys go out on the road, June 22nd!

We’re getting the band back together.

Those five words send a chill down Miki St. John’s spine, especially when they’re spoken with a nearly religious fervor by his brother-in-all-but-blood, Damien Mitchell. However, those words were nothing compared to what Damien says next.

And we’re going on tour.

When Crossroads Gin hits the road, Damien hopes it will draw them closer together. There’s something magical about being on tour, especially when traveling in a van with no roadies, managers, or lovers to act as a buffer. The band is already close, but Damien knows they can be more—brothers of sorts, bound not only by familial ties but by their intense love for music.

As they travel from gig to gig, the band is haunted by past mistakes and personal demons, but they forge on. For Miki, Damie, Forest, and Rafe, the stage is where they all truly come alive, and the music they play is as important to them as the air they breathe.

But those demons and troubles won’t leave them alone, and with every mile under their belts, the band faces its greatest challenge—overcoming their deepest flaws and not killing one another along the way.

Oh Man…

When you delete the shortcut to the Dirty series from your desktop.

Wow.

Of all the things…of every event during this ride… fuck that hit me the hardest.

Everything is still there. Still saved. Still in the background in the rush of noise of my life but…

That shortcut folder marked Dirty Series is now gone.

The world hiccupped…

Someone I work with passed away today.

At work. In a flurry of confusion, pain and worry, the world hiccupped and Death took her.

I don’t have any golden words to impart. Nothing brilliant to say about the shortness of life and the eternity of love. What I can say is she was a lovely person to me. She brushed up against my life in bits and threads but I liked her.

Death does come on silent wings at times. Sadly, there is never that second we should get to say goodbye or give one final kiss.

My best wishes to her family. Death is a heavy burden to carry, heavier than a lost friend or a broken heart. It does lighten over time—the sting of Death—but it leaves one numb and sometimes paralyzed. It’s hard to walk around a gaping wound in one’s life. I can only hope her family knows she loved them deeply. In the little we spoke about the tiny things in our lives, I knew she loved the people she held close.

So, now is when I tell you to let people you love know they are loved by you. They are hard words to say. I get that. And it’s hard sometimes to say them through the day to day annoyances and grumbles we have but say them. And make sure people know you mean them.

Some Kind of Awesome

I suck stupid things into my brain. Interesting but things I never will use.

Unless of course I’m writing a book.
