Hi! Thanks for having me today. Razor’s my latest story and was
released by Decadent Publishing on Feb 6th. It’s my first urban
fantasy and I’m excited to share it with everyone. It’s part of Decadent
Publishing’s Beyond Fairytales collection. Razor is a retelling of The
Little Folk from Brother’s Grimm. Yeah, I’d never heard of it either. J I hope
everyone enjoys Razor as much as I do.

blurb
When the world crashes down around your
ears, sometimes all you can do is punt and hope for the best. That’s exactly
what James and Micah decide to do when one of them is diagnosed with cancer,
and the other discovers a serious heart defect. When the doctor tells them to
start working on their bucket lists, the two take a trip in an effort to create
some good memories, and forget the ugly truths, while they focus on their time
in each other’s arms.
Their vacation turns into much more than
they anticipated when they find themselves drawn to a club like sailors to a
siren. Several sexy waiters, some unforgettable lap dances, and one
whip-wielding stud later, they stumble upon the answer to their prayers. Their
sex is wild again, and the pair find themselves living for tomorrow. But with
every answer comes questions, and Micah’s search for more may destroy them both.
Will they be able to recover from his
thirst for the truth? Or will the men always live walking on the edge of a Razor?

Excerpt from Razor.
Micah
made the landing and stood watching James ascend. A few seconds later, he
reached the top and looked around. They found themselves outside a door almost
as dark as the night, set into a wall of Cimmerian brick that disappeared into
the gloom on either side. The doorman standing beside it was equally striking.
He stood taller than James’s six feet, and wore only a black leather kilt and
heavy boots that seemed to consume the lower part of his muscular legs. No one
would dare challenge the man. His torso rippled in ways James had never seen
before. His face was rugged, covered with a few days’ scruff trimmed precisely
along his jawline. Before he could think of what they should do, the doorman
spoke.
“Welcome
to Razor. What’s your pleasure tonight?”
James
stood speechless as the deep bass of the man’s voice resonated through the
night. “The music. The music is wonderful. We caught it from a few blocks off
and wanted to hear more.”
A
smile emerged on the man’s face and changed him from executioner to guardian.
“Of course, the music. You’ve found the right place. Just in time, too. Tonight
is drawing to a close.”
He
grasped the bronze door pull that was easily as long and thick as James’s
forearm and opened the massive door with little apparent effort. He motioned
them into the portal with a wave. “Go. Enjoy yourself.”
The
pair moved toward the opening and peered inside. The room was dim, except for
an empty stage bathed in warm light. James noticed the musical trio creating
the instrumentals that had lured them through the foggy night. They glanced
back to the grinning bouncer who encouraged them forward with a nod.
They
stepped into the room and paused to take it in. From the elaborately carved
dark mahogany bar lined with every imaginable type of liqueur, to the lovingly
worn floor that had seen thousands of pairs of feet during its existence, it
was all club. The couple moved inside as the door closed behind them with
scarcely a whisper.
As
they studied the room, two things struck James. First, they were the only
customers. Second, everyone else in the room wore very little and were male.
Their smiling waiter stepped to their table. James swallowed hard as he looked
at the man standing before him. He dressed in the same boots as the bouncer,
which were buckled to just below his knees. The remainder of the waiter’s clothing
consisted of a black leather jockstrap filled to capacity.
Bio:
Jon Keys’ earliest memories revolve around
books; with the first ones he can recall reading himself being “The Warlord of
Mars” and anything with Tarzan. (The local library wasn’t particularly up to
date.) But as puberty set in he started sneaking his mother’s romance magazines
and added the world of romance and erotica to his mix of science fiction,
fantasy, and comic books.
A voracious reader for almost half a
century, Jon has only recently begun creating his own flights of fiction for
the entertainment of others. Born in the Southwest and now living in the
Midwest, Jon has worked as a ranch hand, teacher, computer tech, roughneck,
designer, retail clerk, welder, artist, and, yes, pool boy; with interests
ranging from kayaking and hunting to painting and cooking, he draws from a wide
range of life experiences to create written works that draw the reader in and
wrap them in a good story.
Mmmm, this sounds interesting. Totally new to me author. Would love to read one of his works.
