To say Bones isn’t thrilled with his dead-end job at the Venus Motel would be an understatement. But when you’re fifteen years old with no family, expecting any prospects for your future feels pretty pointless. You just roll with the whims of the powers that be. And the motel owner, Calico Foster, can barely keep herself afloat, much less rescue a lost kid. A job is all she can offer. Why blues-playing magician Jimmy La Roux comes to this downtrodden motel full of weary souls is more than anyone knows. But with a rattle of Harley pipes and a cloud of dissipating dust, he roars out of the desert straight to the Venus, fresh from blasting through the cosmos, ready to change every life he encounters. And he’s wielding a magic box that makes anything that goes into it disappear forever … Welcome to the Venus Motel, where a million stars dance above the neon and things are almost never what they seem.

Buck Storm grew up in Yuma, Arizona — a true son of the American Southwest. He is a critically acclaimed touring singer/songwriter and the author of two novels — Truck Stop Jesus and the Selah Award finalist The Miracle Man. His short story, A Waffle Stop Story of Love and Pistols was featured in 21 Days of Grace: Stories That Celebrate God’s Love. Whether lyrics or prose, Buck writes about this mixed-up, out of control, beautiful cacophony we call humanity — about life as he sees it and sometimes just how he’d like it to be. Buck and his wife, Michelle, have a happy love story, a hideout in Hayden, Idaho, and two wonderful, grown children.
