Hey Dean! 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.
Congratulations on your new release. This sounds like a fun one!
