In the case of Kyle Brewster, he has worked overseas most of his adult life and would not trade it for the world. Kyle discovered early on that the pros to being thousands of miles away from home for months at a time far outweigh the cons and this way of life definitely has its advantages; The work is good, the money is unbelievable, and the women are plenteous.
Currently, he is employed as a civilian contractor on Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan. His mission here is to make his money and enjoy his freedom. Kyle is married with children but working on a project like this allows him to easily play the whore, a role that suits him well.
One day, he meets Rejoice Battle in the PX and decides she will be his new conquest. Kyle’s first tryst with her goes horribly right and in the days that follow, he finds himself entangled with Rejoice in a way that traps him in his affair with her. The consequences of this supposed one night stand follow him home and Kyle discovers that the distance he always relied on for safety, was vanity and that nothing can protect your heart from love.
Project Whores is A E Thomas’ new novella series which takes readers on a spiritual journey that explores the love, mercy, and judgment of God in the lives of people who do not know Him and people who know Him well.
Rejoice Battle – Character Bio Rejoice Battle – unfortunately because Project Whores Book 1 is the first in a series, I cannot elaborate too much on Rejoice. Many things about her will come to light in Book II: Revelation, but I can tell you she is very different and often misunderstood because of the odd way she acts and speaks. She hails from Spring, Texas which is north of Houston and she has two daughters from her one and only marriage to Derek Carmichael. The marriage ended in divorce, but it is worth noting that she is still very connected to her ex-husband, and vice-versa.
Rejoice is an average looking woman in her early forties, but unwittingly exudes the confidence of a runway model. One can only guess that her aloofness and seeming disinterest in her surroundings is part of her charm. She works on Bagram Airforce Base in Afghanistan and has worked overseas on government projects for several years, although no one is sure why at this point in the story. Her high-end style of living and total lack of enthusiasm in her work, suggest that there is more to her than meets the eye. It is on this project that she meets stunner, Kyle Brewster. Her union with him reveals that she is somewhat socially inept but there is a depth and sensuality to her that he cannot resist.
Rejoice is obviously flawed because the main story line in Project Whores Book 1, is that she falls in love with a married man. But she is also pious, and often reads her bible and listens to gospel music. These attributes add another layer to the mystery that is Rejoice Battle. More of her character will be revealed in Book II, but in fairness to my readers, this is all I can safely say about this intriguing woman at this time.
Kyle Brewster – Character Bio Kyle Brewster is a married man in his early thirties. He and his wife have two boys and reside in Houston, Texas. However, his lifestyle is one of being unfaithful to his wife. When we meet him in Project Whores Book I, he is working on a government contract (also referred to as a project) on Bagram Airforce Base in Afghanistan. Kyle has been doing overseas contract work for many years because the money is great and it allows him to roam freely amongst the women on the base.
To say that he is fine would be a gross understatement. Kyle turns heads wherever he goes, but is surprisingly modest about his captivating good looks. This, along with his ability to minimize and strategize his way out of almost anything, adds a complexity to him that is uncommon for someone with his charisma. But his carefree attitude regarding the bond of his marriage changes, when he meets Rejoice Battle in the PX. Kyle is instantly enamored and cannot readily see his way out of their affair, which started as a one-night stand. He has never gone this far with any of the women he bedded, and his tryst with Rejoice forces him to reevaluate everything he always viewed as normal and comfortable in his life: first and foremost his relationship with his wife, Candy.
Kyle is a man who has made an art out of messing around. His attitude regarding the women who have fallen for him over the years is carefree and unrepentant. His callousness, however, dissolves when he hooks up with Rejoice and now he must utilize something he almost forgot he owned, to help him resolve this situation: his heart.
I am AE Thomas, author, and writer amongst other things. I am a native of Amityville, New York and have always loved to read and write. I currently reside in Texas and Project Whores is my first published work, but certainly not my first book or writing. I worked in Afghanistan on a military base as a civilian contractor for 8 years and that stint was the inspiration for the series.
My on-going, ever-growing relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ is my inspiration for life. I would love to say that I’ve never strayed and that I’ve always done or even tried to do things according to His Word, but you already know that is not the truth. Hence the on-going and ever-growing part of the relationship is by His grace and mercy, without which I, perhaps more than you all, would be consumed.
I am elated to be able to say that at this juncture, my goal is to live a lifestyle that is pleasing to Him and to magnify Him with the gifts he has given me. For many of you, my writings will be a trek through familiar and maybe some unfamiliar territory with an old friend that sticks closer than any brother when we allow Him to. For others, it may be an introduction to the God of the whole earth. But either way, I have no doubt you will enjoy the ride immensely and be stronger when you get to your destination.
