Book Blurb

An accident in Drew Clifton's past left the former novelist with aphasia, unable to communicate through either speech or writing. Through sheer strength of will, he built a quiet but lonely life for himself. But now he’s fallen in love with Travis Miller.

Travis has his own issues—a permanent eye injury and unemployment. But he’s determined to help Drew find ways to engage and succeed again in the wider world, and a guitar-playing gig at a local coffeehouse seems like a good start.

Dylan Warner and Chris Nock happen to be in the audience that evening, and they have a few niggling problems of their own. Perhaps a chance meeting will provide solutions that might benefit all of them.

 

 

Book Review

'The Gig' is a short story follow-up to Kim Fielding's 'Speechless', and it was fun to get this little glimpse into Drew and Travis's life several months after they reunited. Travis is still unemployed and not handling having Drew pay for everything very well. But they are madly in love with each other which is amazing to watch.

Travis has helped Drew get a gig playing guitar at a local coffee shop, hoping to get Drew out a little more and interacting with the community. It was so cute to see how nervous Drew was before taking the stage. All the customers in the house really loved his playing (of course) but when they were approached after by Dylan and Chris who offered to pay Drew to play at their friend's housewarming, well that was just exciting. Drew was definitely a little stunned at this response although Travis certainly wasn't. Travis was shocked, however, when Dylan mentioned that the friends they were going to see had need of a machinist and perhaps Travis could meet with them? Boy, when it rains, it pours!

Thank you, Kim, for bringing me another glimpse of these two guys I really like.
