Los Lonely Boys has given four other authors and me permission to publish our two-part novels about them.
Miko and Lil “Onda” Bus and Miko and Lil “Onda” Bus (Again) are two halves to a madcap story about a small mouse, Miko, who lives on the Los Lonely Boys’ tour bus. His life is quiet and serene — until the Boys board the bus to go on tour. When he meets his girlfriend, Lil, Miko thinks he is the happiest mouse of all. That’s before everyone realizes the mice can speak ‘human’. They are all led on one adventure after another because everyone wants those mice!
These books are available for purchase through Lulu (http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=955669) and at my website (www.blackwolfbooks.com). You can also buy them from Hastings in Stephenville, TX (if you’re in the area). All proceeds from book sales go to First Candle/SIDS Alliance, a charity which Los Lonely Boys supports.
I want to take a moment to thank Henry, Jojo and Ringo Garza, along with their manager, Kevin Wommack, and their promoter, Gigi Greco, for putting up with me bugging them for so long, and for being such good sports in allowing us to use them as characters in the novels.
The other four authors and myself met on the LLB forum. We started this chain story in July of 2005! C.M. Ulmer (Cree) lives in Florida, Ruth Simard (MamacitaRuth) in Nebraska, Stephanie Crail (Banderchick) in Pennsylvania, and Melanie Baird (Mel) in Austria. English is Melanie’s second (or third) language, and her bravery at writing in another language astounds me.
All the writing, artwork, editing, and formatting have been donated — which leads me to another huge thank you! Our cover artist, Kelly Christiansen of Cyberwizard Productions (darkwolf1_us@yahoo.com) is a fellow Texas author with me. She has been a godsend in designing not one, but TWO covers absolutely for free.
I want to thank another contributor, as well – our very own VelvetSky0222 volunteered her efforts by making a write-up explaining La Onda, Los Lonely Boys’ street team. (Some street team members show up in the story.) The write-up is in both books. Thank you, Jeanette, for telling everyone just how hard La Onda works for the music and the band they love!
If you’re looking for a great gift idea, or for a fun read, and are willing to help out a charity at the same time, please purchase these books. If you’d like to read excerpts, you can do so at my website. Just look for the “Miko and Lil” link on the left or click here for excerpts:
