BLURB

Nurse's aide Jonesy is drawn to Michael, the comatose victim of a hate crime whose homophobic parents have rejected him. Jonesey sits with Michael, reads to him, and encourages Michael to wake up. Jonesy may not be the smartest guy in the world, but he knows Michael needs him. And if he also thinks Michael is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen, well, Jonesy knows better than to hope for things that can never happen.

Michael is lost in a dungeon, a dark and terrifying place. His only comfort is the sound of a man's voice. Can Michael come back? Does he want to? Maybe Jonesy can convince him that some things are worth living for.

THIS IS A SECOND EDITION, published by the author. It has a new epilogue, new formatting, and a new edit.




REVIEW
My Rating - 5 Stars!

Eli Easton's Before I Wake is a sweet and special book about strength and courage.

When Jonesy, a nurse's aide, meets Michael who's a victim of a hate crime, he takes a strong interest in him.

Michael's family has given up hope of Michael recovering, and takes him off of life support. But Jonesy keeps fighting, finding a way to communicate with Michael, helping to protect him, and caring for him when no one else will.

We get to know Michael's thoughts as he's in his coma, and his feelings towards Jonesy are remarkable and powerful.

When you're in the mood for a short and inspirational story, please check out Eli Easton's Before I Wake. You will not be disappointed.

ELI EASTON

Having been, at various times and under different names, a minister’s daughter, a computer programmer, the author of paranormal mysteries, a game designer, an organic farmer, an avid hiker, and a profound sleeper, Eli is happily embarking on yet another incarnation as a m/m romance author.

As an addicted reader of such, she is tinkled pink when an author manages to combine literary merit, vast stores of humor, melting hotness and eye-dabbing sweetness into one story. She promises to strive to achieve most of that most of the time. She currently lives on a farm in Pennsylvania with her husband, three bulldogs, three cows and six chickens. All of them (except for the husband) are female, hence explaining the naked men that have taken up residence in her latest fiction writing.
