#8Sunday – Jagged Addiction

It’s sunday once again, and that means it’s time for another Weekend Writing Warriors post – the blog hop where writers share 8 lines from something they’ve written. And in preparation of my Jagged Ivory Boxed Set releasing in just a few days, I’ve been working my way through the five-book collection. This week’s 8 comes from book three, Jagged Addiction, and in this scene our hero, Jagged Ivory bassist, Benji Staffon, is returning home after a three-month stint in rehab and wondering how he’s going to make it through his first sober rehearsal…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would he even be able to play without the chemical assistance? Maybe his musical talent wasn’t even really his. Maybe it had been the drug all along and he would actually suck without it. Benji closed his eyes took in a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. I can do this, I can do this. He repeated the phrase to himself a few times before opening his eyes once more. He could do this, he had to. The guys were counting on him … his brothers. They were so important to him, and he couldn’t let them down again.

 

Jagged Addiction will be re-released as part of The Essential Jagged Ivory boxed set, coming in early August. You can check out the My Books page for more excerpts and reviews of Jagged Addiction, and all of my books.
