The Mouth, available now on Smashwords and Goodreads–completely free!
No one is prepared for the sexual awakening and emotional fallout that results when a notorious loser shows up a frat party and is forced to play a nostalgic game of Seven Minutes in Heaven. Sex and satire converge and lines between social standings are blurred then destroyed in this caustic erotic short.

Late twenties. Tall, black-dyed bob, giant brown eyes. Christened Ellen Yablonsky at birth—and rejecting that name probably not too long after—she is a complicated mix of merciless detractor and enduring James Venora fan. The neutralization likely stemmed from the fact she’d grown up knowing the brothers since she was five. Ever since then, E.Y. and James’ younger brother Wade had been inseparable. When they were younger, they even looked somewhat alike, a fact E.Y. hadn’t failed to capitalize on for her own amusement. Back in 1998, she would dress like a boy, go to a Venora show, and sign autographs for young fans, posing as Wade. Instead of taking offense, Wade found it hilarious, and their bond only intensified as they crafted plans to make fun of the world around them. Thus, she’d become like the annoying little sister James had never wanted but had grudgingly come to love—the kind of sister who would occasionally hit on him for sport. Expert on all things fan fiction. Previously worked in-house at a publishing company and now works as an editor from her third-floor apartment in Albany, Georgia. Co-administrator of the Blame James blog, a site where she and Wade candidly and unapologetically discuss all the ways James isn’t living up to his potential.
If Single, Cool and Fine: How to Get Laid as an Ex-Teen Idol was a movie, the character would be played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Twenty-seven. Pale skin, long wavy auburn hair, and eyes the color of wet sand. Aloof and occasionally cold, although on extremely rare occasions, she’d let slip a quirk, like unconsciously lapsing into a British accent and making wishes at 11:11. Long suffering wife of ex-teen idol James Venora. Mother to Amie (7) and Noah (5). Talented artist, and going back to school to gain enough experience to start her own graphic design business. Shocks James by seeking a divorce, believing that they’ve grown apart and he’s always loved the music more than her. But that isn’t the only surprise she has left for James to find out…
If Single, Cool and Fine: How to Get Laid as an Ex-Teen Idol was a movie, the character would be played by Alice Englert.
