The 80s. The days of classic Rock-N-Roll. The crazy bands that made the teenagers wild with excitement when they came to town… or even near enough to town to get to a concert. To see them live… on stage… Loud and Proud!
Relive those days! Travel with the hot British rock band of ShadowsForge. Join Ty Synclair, Geoff Richards, Jordan Cantrell, Jon Wiles and Brian Cummings as they romp their way through the USA, the UK and assorted relationships.
Jena' Galifany brings to life the glorious days of the 80s hair bands, the guys that weren't afraid to perform, onstage and off, with all the insanity that was entertainment. Women, wine and song flow freely through the band, creating typically insane situations.

"Alexis embodies a woman fed up with the direction that her life has taken and does what many women in the same circumstances never find the courage to do, that is, leave…. Ty was an absolute delight to read about; he's a rock star sick of his lifestyle and seeking a home and a woman to share it. Not only was he described in an absolutely delicious way, but he had a sensitivity that was completely at odds with his image."

ShadowsForge 2: Trials on Tour
http://www.whiskeycreekpress.com/chapters/Shadowsforge2_JenaGalifany.shtml
"Jena’ Galifany perfectly grasps the debauchery and savoir-faire of the eighties in this, her second installment involving the members of ShadowsForge. Geoff Richards is the perfect rock bad boy, snarly, yet jocular, and a roving eye that delights in the female form. He is quickly taken to task and whipped into shape by the inspiring heroine in this book. I enjoyed the give and take between the two and refuse to say who the lucky lady is, especially because we find ourselves wondering at times if she really is who we think she is. I look forward to reading the rest of the band’s stories."

ShadowsForge 3: Retaking America
Fallen Angel Reviews gives 5 Angels and a Recommended Read to ShadowsForge 3: Retaking America!
Life on the road is a never ending cycle of traveling while working with high strung men who live life with a no-holds-barred belief that life is for living in the fullest. Join ShadowForge on their newest tour and one that will keep you on the edge of your seats with laughter, tears and suspense as the band members clash and support each other through the difficult road trip. Ms. Galifany has created a wonderful book full of men that have bright and full personalities that come alive for the readers.

It was interesting to read backstage life of the group and what it took to keep them going - roadies, wardrobe people and minders. It's not hard to believe that friendships can get easily strained with the ongoing pressure to perform and be something that the public wants.
Although ShadowsForge 3: Retaking America is about a British rock group, it’s also about real, fallible people whose lives are messy and complicated. To me, that makes the book believable and readable. I read the first ShadowsForge book and I liked it. Reading number three was like catching up with old friends. I wanted to see how Ty and Alexis were going and what had happened to the British bad boy band.
I like the ShadowsForge boys. They are wild in deed but not of heart. I would be happy to check on the adventures of these boys again to see if they do find true love.

"Ms Galifany continues to captivate us with her realistically rendered lives in a wild '80s band. The mix of disappointments and drama, are balanced with laughter, all of which, make for quite a show both on and off stage. The situations aren't cleaned for public consumption, there are the indulgences that some expect with the pressures that come with fame.
"A well paced tale containing quite a surprise that will keep fans of the series from becoming complacent. Enough explanation is given for this to be read as a stand alone book, but it is so much more fun to have read the first two and be in the know of all of the details.
"Now, this is a band to follow."

November entertains the release of the fourth installment of the ShadowsForge series. Brian Cummings, percussionist, has been fairly quiet through the previous novels. It's time to learn more about this quiet man.
Brian Cummings has come a long way from Leicestershire, England. Miles of hard road lay between then and now – hard road he's kept hidden—until the nightmares began again.
Diane Starling loves Brian. If she were not carrying his child, she'd still do anything to make him happy—even letting him go to someone else. Who is the woman in his nightly dreams? Why does she make him scream?
Valerie Leonard, journalist, dredged up history that should remain buried; history that could ruin Brian and hurt the people he loves most. Should Val keep his dangerous past to herself? Doesn't Diane have the right to know the truth about the father of her child?
Brian and Diane fight to overcome the past, embrace the present, and build a future as they travel with ShadowsForge on THE LONG WAY HOME.

ShadowsForge 3: Retaking America
April marked the release of the next installment in the ShadowsForge series. ShadowsForge 3: Retaking America finds the British bad boys back on the east coast of the US, working hard at making the music, sorting out the women in their lives, and fighting each other in this peek behind the glamour of the 80s Rock and Roll scene.
Check out the trailer for ShadowsForge 3: Retaking America.
First there was Alexis Synclair. Then came Diane Starling. Followed by Valerie Leonard. Add Crystal--whose last name the band never did learn. Mix well with the men of ShadowsForge, and the stage is set for competition, confusion and adventure.
Trouble comes in many shapes, sizes, and hair color in the third installment of the ShadowsForge series. Travel along with the band as they rearrange their women to find the perfect fit.
~*~
Join Geoff Richards, Ty Synclair, Jordan Cantrell, Jon Wiles, and Brian Cummings as they return to the U.S. for additional tour dates, internal strife and unexpected surprises as they cross the Atlantic intent on Retaking America.
ShadowsForge - This is a warning. This is to let you know that you've been a thorn in my side for far too long. I have had to put up with my lady gushing over you for the last four years now, and I've had enough of it. It was bad enough before you came through my city but since you did, I've given a lot of thought to ending your career permanently. I wanted to give you a sporting chance by letting you know that your days are numbered.
Travel with ShadowsForge as they continue the Ethereal Edge Tour, spending two explosive weeks at venues throughout the United Kingdom. Join Ty Synclair and his band mates, Geoff Richards, Jordan Cantrell, Jon Wiles, and Brian Cummings as they tour their homeland, trying to stay one step ahead of danger.
Taylor “Ty” Synclair, bass player for British rock band, ShadowsForge, has enjoyed six years of musical success. He believes there has to be one woman, somewhere, who will love him for who he is, not the package sold to the public.
Alexis Rivers worked hard to gain her freedom from an abusive relationship. Her only desire is to be alone, to live life on her own terms. The problem is her heart doesn’t agree with her decision, a decision that crumbles fast after literally running into Ty Synclair in the middle of a blizzard.
Can two cold hearts spark a fire, when they collide on a snowy mountain road and spend three days alone together in a snowbound cabin?
As Jena' Galifany, mother of three, grandmother of
one, I have been writing for over 30 years but have
only recently published my works. I have written
several novel length books, short stories, online
articles, children's stories, fan-fiction, flash fiction and poetry.
I spend a lot of time with my characters because my
life does not permit me to have flesh and blood
friends around or to travel much. It is so much fun to
get them into trouble and figure out how to get them
out again. I hope that my writing is entertaining to
my readers. That is the real reward for spending so
many hours banging on the keyboard.
Jena' is currently completing the ShadowsForge series based on fictional British rock band, ShadowsForge. These five British Bad Boys travel in the Romance/Adventure genre. She hopes that you enjoy them as much as she does.
Who I'd like to meet: Rick "Sav" Savage, British bass player of Def Leppard. I want nothing from him except to be considered his friend. I admire him for being able to do what he wanted for a living all of his life. Bravo, Sav!
Finally, we would like to introduce our entire album, "Pretend That We're Famous" on Itunes now! Just incase you dont already know :D Keep in touch~Sandlot Heroes
Thank you for your support Jena. We surely will try to keep our stuff rolling out! We are so glad that you enjoyed our tunes. We'll let you know when we get our new ones finished and up! ^_^
~Just dropping by to say hello and wish you a wonderful day~
With little here to do or see Of things that in the great world be, Sweet Daisy! oft I talk to thee For thou art worthy, Thou unassuming commonplace Of Nature, with that homely face, And yet with something of a grace Which love makes for thee!
