With the Heaven Sent series, I delve into the wonderful world of yaoi. If you don’t know what yaoi is, I recommend visiting the Yaoicon website and reading up on this genre of homosexual fiction that was born through Japanese manga and has become a thriving industry. Yaoi is basically pretty boys doing pretty boys, and, man, did I have fun coming up with my boys. I’ve done my very best to pay tribute to and be honest to the genre that sparked this idea and I’m tickled that many yaoi fans have enjoyed the series.

Heaven Sent is a fictional rock group with originally four members: Johnnie Heaven, lead singer; Lucas Sloane, bass player; Brent Rose, lead guitar; and Darien Hughes, drummer. They are all quite gorgeous and quite wonderful and book one starts with Johnnie’s story. Johnnie, as it just so happens, is bisexual. Turns out that Luc and Brent are as well and Darien is happy to let everything think he is too. Each of the four main books in the series–Heaven, Purgatory, Hell and Faith–looks into the love life of each of the original four boys. Book 3 adds a fifth member, keyboardist Hell, to the band.

Pretty Red Ribbon is a very short story about Johnnie and Tyler after Heaven, on their first Christmast night together. Sexy Spring Surprise is another quickie, this time about Luc and Reese on a cool spring evening. Feisty Little Firecracker joins Brent and Hell now that they’re a couple, watching their first fireworks celebration together… well, sort of watching it. Sly Spectral Trick is a Halloween interlude with Darien and Chris, where Darien’s not so sure Chris is kidding about ghosts.

Genesis is about all four couples at once, taking place around a New Year’s eve concert. Trials occur, angst ensues, sex follows. More about that as I write more.

I’ve had marvelous reaction to the boys. I attribute a lot of that to the absolutely gorgeous covers by the absurdly talented PL Nunn of Bishonenworks. If you have not seen the artwork or read the stories on her website and you like pretty boys having sex with pretty boys, GO NOW!

I’ve occasionally been asked about the titles. Did I have fun with them? Yes. There is nothing religious or evangelical about the books. Each one of the titles actually refers to a name. Heaven is Johnnie’s last name. Purgatory is the name of the club where the band got their start. Hell is the name of the new keyboardist who joins the band. Faith is the last name of the guy Darien eventually falls for. See? Very simple.

    I can’t wait for the 4th book. I like the website, but some of the covers was cut off. Maybe I need a longer computer screen.

    A friend recently turned me on to this series and I absolutely adore it. I typically like big buff alpha males, but they boys of Heaven Sent really got to me. You write m/m sex with an intensity that I don’t see all the time and it’s incredibly erotic and compelling. I’ve already reread the first three and I’ll soon get the two shorts. I’m really looking forward to Faith; Darien has been in the background so much and I want to see him shine. Thank you for such great writing!

    Oh man, you like big buff and like my guys? cool! Because I don’t write big and buff LOL I’ve tried but they always end up being pretty *shrug*
    Thanks!

    I love this series! I can’t wait for book 4 and I’ll be buying the print version of the first two stories as soon as it is available.
    Actually, I would buy all your stories in print if they were available.
    Thanks for all the fun characters and the great pictures too!

    LOVED all of these books and so happy for you about the print Heaven Sent title! Very exciting! So, can you tell us who Heaven Sent 5 is about? Pretty please!

    I am a Heaven Fan! Love those Pretty boy rockers!Will Heaven sent 5 Genesis be a quickie or will it be more involved!

  8. on 21 Sep 2007 at 6:05 pm   jetmykles

    Genesis will both be a quickie and more involved :) it’s about as long as Heaven, but it follows all four couples. So the stories are kind of shorter. But they’re much longer than the four holiday quickies.

    I just read “Heaven” again for the umpteenth time, and I adore Tyler and Johnnie. I can’t wait for “Genesis,” and I hope you keep writing about the rockers. I would love another full-length story about J/T, and then you could do Luc and Reese, etc…..How about it? Please!

    Thanks, Angelia! I’m not ruling out the possiblity of more stories about the boys, but I think they’re mainly going to be background characters in any further stories I write in that world. You’ll probably get the idea when Genesis comes out :)

    I’m new to the series, I just finished reading Faith, and it was fantastic, I was sooo moved that I must have the rest of the series now, so sensual and hot, I did not want the story to end. I so wanted to see Chris bottom at least once, lol I was so moved by this story, I cried when Darien proclaimed his love and was rejected. This is a beautiful story, I loved it. Thank you for sharing your talents with the rest of us.

    Hey thanks, Sarah, for the lovely review!
    Embracing Love. Oh yes, that’s a good one. Have you tried Yellow? That’s my personal favorite.

    Yep. Read yellow, enjoyed it!

    Hello,

    I’m French and I read in English only since 2 or 3 years – So please, excuse my bad English ! - . I heard of Heaven Sent on a New French web site where you can find criticisms about books. It was a criticism from Guitou – a lover of M/M romances on the site – who was so enthusiastic that the only thing of which I could think after reading it was to read the books mentioned. I bought the two first and read them in two days ! I think that I’ve never read so fast in English ! Of course I bought the three others books just right after and devoured them !

    I would thank you for your so entertaining books – so hot and so full of emotion - and thank Guitou for giving me such a desire to read you.

    For information : a link to read Guitou’s criticism on “blue-moon.fr” : http://www.blue-moon.fr/spip.php?article460

    Wow, Tilly, thanks so much! I wish I could read the site LOL Must’ve been good, though, if it got your attention
