“Fly to me, Firebird. Fly into my arms.”
Angel and Firebird, Gabriel and Phoenix, might be my favorite characters of all. Readers seem to love them too, because they were nominated for Best Short Story (under 50 pages) in the M/M Romance Goodreads group Member’s Choice Awards. They didn’t win, but I was happy just being nominated. For reals. I’m glad that my sweet boys caught people’s hearts as they caught mine. So that’s why I thought I’d honor them today, on this Flashback Friday.
Also, I adore the cover, as in hearts exploding out of my eyes-adore.
“I love you forever, Firebird.”

Five years ago, Phoenix lost his lover Gabriel, his angel, in a horrific hate crime. All he wanted was to follow him into death and he struggled a long time trying to get his life back together. All this time later he still hasn’t been able to put the past behind him and forget about the love of his life.
On the anniversary of Gabriel’s death—and 25th birthday—Phoenix’ apartment building catches fire. Will Phoenix do the reasonable thing, or will he rise from the ashes to reunite with his beloved angel?

I love Angel & Firebird, too. Maybe you could find a way to give them more story? There are some intriguing possibilities. 💘

Idk. They ARE dead after all 😂

LOL. Well yeah, 🙄 but I was thinking either the story of how they met that could end seemingly happy 💞, or a fantasy story of them together in the afterlife. 👻

Lol, that’s not very likely. You know me, no sequels 😀 BUT, you’ll be glad to know I’ve come up with a solid idea to flesh out the naughty bunny! I’m going to do it for the JMS 9 submission call (I decided against The Locked Room after all). 🙂

Oh yay! I love that naughty bunny story. You’ll still do The Locked Room, right? Just not for that call?

I really don’t know. Every time I open the manuscript, I get anxious. I even had a plan this time: that I’d shuffle some of the chapters around and tighten it, but it still didn’t work. So I hope so, but it doesn’t seem likely at the moment.

I don’t remember the details now, but I remember it was pretty good already.
