Tour: Lennon's Jinx by Chris Myers (Promo)

Tour Hosted by AToMR Book Tours

Sometimes, you don’t get to choose who you fall for...

Lennon spends most of his time raising his little sister Currie while trying to skate through his senior year of high school. He prefers groupies with no-strings attached but finds himself strangely attracted to Jinx, the straight-A student in his choir. Lennon’s curiosity overrules his good sense as he tries to peel away the layers to discover the reason for Jinx’s skittishness.

Jinx conceals the black truth about herself from her friends. She won’t admit to them that she screwed up big time, losing her first love and what she once held most precious.

When Lennon’s band holds auditions to replace their keyboard player, Jinx comes to tryout and almost leaves after seeing Lennon. Despite the fact she despises him, she joins the band to nurture her love of music that will hopefully ease the guilt gnawing away at her.

Like the rest of his band mates, Jinx soon witnesses Lennon battling his infamous father for the custody of Currie. While confronting his pent-up anger at his dad, Lennon exposes vulnerabilities he had no intention of letting any girl ever see, especially Jinx. Their reckless pasts may bring them together or further complicate their already messy lives.

Absolution

Lyrics and Punky Music by Jinx Armstrong

Chorus:

I miss the way you taste.

I miss your touch.

I miss the world that once surrounded us.

I beg for absolution and your kiss.

Cut the scars from my heart.

Scrub my soul raw.

Erase the hard lines that have stripped me bare.

Water washes the dirt away.

But only on the surface.

Beneath are the lies that cage me.

Free me with your kiss

Forgive me for my sins.

Knock down the walls between us.

Take me in your arms and away from here.

About this Author:

Chris Myers suffers from an overactive imagination. In second grade, Sister Bernice produced Chris's first play about pumpkins mauling and eating children. Apparently, the nuns didn’t catch the underlying meaning. This instantly raised Chris to stardom amongst her peers for the several days off from schoolwork while in production. She spent her high school years writing torch songs for fantasy guys then moved onto writing thrillers and young adult. Chris lives in Colorado with her daughter, her better half, and BeBe, a rambunctious Bichon.

Chris literally has very few photos of herself, even though photography put her through college. Here she is with her sisters and daughter. Chris is the one with the vino.

Chris started out as an art major, then moved to bio-chem, hoping to play Victor Frankenstein as a genetic engineer or messing with people's minds as a psychiatrist. Just as she was about to graduate, she decided being broke for another four to ten years wouldn't work out for her adventurous spirt and traveling. She ended up with an electrical engineering degree then a masters. As it turns out, she should've finished her first novel twenty-five years ago and stuck in the make-believe world where she is happiest.

Her favorite authors as a child were Jack London, Thomas Tryon, Albert Payson Terhune, and Stephen King. There are too many too list as an adult, but best reads as of late are Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys and Wither by Lauren DeStefano.

Chris is a member of SCBWI and Pikes Peak Writers. She teaches classes on writing at workshops and conferences.
