K.S. Murphy

Colin Hunt, a vivacious and outspoken art student, is a comic-reading, anime-loving, all-around geek. What he lacks in size, he most definitely makes up for in personality. But things have been tough for him lately. A heavy workload. A showcase to prepare for his final. A sick mother to take care of. Ever the optimist, he's more interested in finding someone to have some fun with rather than finding anyone serious. For Dexter Erikson, life has been difficult ever since an accident left him in foster care and cost him part of his arm. After discovering music therapy, he found an outlet for his pain and the perfect way to express himself. Now, sporting tattoos and piercings, Dexter is the lead singer of a pretty kick-ass punk rock band and owns the stage like it's nobody's business. He’s also goofy and dorky, shy and bashful, with a bad habit of falling in love yet a horrible fear of commitment. So what happens when vivacious geek meets shy punk rocker? The first answer is a lot of sex. The second answer might bring both Colin and Dexter to places they never dreamed possible.

Rock and Roll Chose Me

“I’m Takeru. Takeru Nakamura. I believe we have a mutual acquaintance. Dexter Erikson?” He paused and waited for Colin to respond, but Colin would have to get his brain restarted in order to do that. “Dexter and I met up today. He asked if I could come. Glad I did.”


Colin’s face fell. Takeru Nakamura. The legend himself. One of Colin’s biggest idols and he was here. Takeru Nakamura was there, standing at his exhibit and complimenting him. Colin searched for Dexter again. He hadn’t left the spot Colin last saw him. Only now he watched Colin carefully, lips folded and furrow between his eyes. He looked really nervous. Colin looked back at Takeru.


“I…thank you!” he said with probably a little too much vigor, but he couldn’t help it. The appreciation radiated from every inch of him. “Thank you so much for coming!”
