Then his friend suggests acupuncture and Jason’s skepticism is one that was familiar to me as well before I had my first session. Every aspect of his life is in chaos, his romantic partner gone, leaving him in debt with a house and unpaid bills, his business, a gay nightclub, is equally in financial jeopardy, and his health is failing due to a prior accident that injured his shoulder. LA Witt gives us a well rounded portrait of a man who might collapse at any second due to the immense stress and pressure he is operating under. I liked the character of Jason especially. Where Nerves End is the first in the Tucker Springs series being written by several different authors and it is a terrific introduction to the quirky town and its equally quirky denizens. Can it be that Michael isn’t as straight as everyone is telling him or even as straight as Michael himself says he is? And Michael is acting strangely when Jason comes in from his dates. Jason can’t stop thinking about Michael, gorgeous, half naked roommate Michael, who is apparently straight. Michael is in debt for school and overhead on his business so when Jason suggests that Michael and his son move into his guest rooms at a rent below what he is paying now, he accepts loving the fact that his son will have a yard to play in when he visits and he won’t be as stretched financially as he is now.īut it quickly appears there is a problem neither man anticipated. His new client turns out to be the best thing that has happened in quite a while. Michael Whitman is a divorced dad and acupuncturist. How could things get any worse? When his best friend tells him about an acupuncturist who could help with his shoulder pains, Jason takes a chance and goes to see him with unexpected benefits far past getting rid of the pain in his shoulder.

With little left to pawn to keep himself, his house, and his business afloat, Jason also suffers chronic pain from an accident he had. Then Jason’s business partner dies, leaving his with a business in financial disarray, losing money faster than if he had just thrown it away. Jason’s romantic partner just up and left town with a rich sugar daddy, leaving Jason with a heavily mortgaged house and not much else.

But right now Jason would love to be anywhere but in the situation he is in.

Jason Davis lives in Tucker Springs, Colorado and has most of his life.
