The Composition Of Evan Jeffries (PB) (2026)

Evan "Mike" Jeffries is frustrated. He made an impulsive decision that changed his life... and broke his heart. Making music no longer gives him a high. His marriage is in name only. And memories of her haunt his dreams, unless he's having the recurring nightmare.

His desire for expression found him center stage and buzzing his designs into clients' skin. But Mike's vision is so much bigger; he needs a larger canvas. Abandoning his old dreams, he trades ink for paint, tattoo parlors and performances for art galleries.

While honing his technique and developing an impressive portfolio, a curator spies Mike's art at an unexpected venue. He leaps at the chance to make history, despite opposition. Other than his children, Mike's world is gray. That is until a fellow artist adds color to his limited palette. Determined to be the father that his children deserve, he is building a legacy for them.
