CYRUS AND JEFF ARE BEST FRIENDS. Like many best friends, Cyrus and Jeff start a garage band to escape their boring lives in their boring small town. With Cyrus on the drums and Jeff singing--or screaming--and playing guitar, they play hardcore music in a part of of central PA so removed from hardcore it has more churches per square mile than anywhere else in the country. At least that's what Cyrus was told. And the band is a place where Cy can be himself, not the quiet boy whose mother died in a car wreck three years ago. Not the cute boy no one in school knows is gay, the one asked out on a date by his classmate, Mindy. Just Cyrus and Jeff, the best friend he dreams about even though he knows he shouldn't. Even after a kiss in Cy's bedroom leaves him hoping for more. For Jeff, it's a way to channel his rage into music--rage at the father who abandoned him, the mother who has chosen his stepfather over him, and the stepfather who has chosen the righteousness of the backhand and the closed fist when trying to cleanse Jeff of his sins.
Autorenporträt
Bill Elenbark wrote his first novel longhand in the empty pages of engineering class notebooks at Rutgers University, while tuning out professors blithely discussing the Mechanics of Solids (an actual class name!) He went back to school for a writing degree, where he focused on Young Adult stories, particularly those with an indie rock, punk, or hardcore theme. He hosted a music blog called Vague Space for over a decade and has attended several hundred shows in mostly small spaces in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Philly, and LA throughout the last two decades. His first novel, I Will Be Okay, was published in June 2020 by Amphorae Publishing. He currently lives in Jersey City, NJ, with his partner and their mini schnauzer Elie. https: //www.billelenbark.com
