I've gotten a lot of positive feedback (all 5-star reviews) from this second novel of mine and I'm looking to expand my audience with a free promotion.
As far as genres go, I tend to dwell somewhere between literary and dark/speculative fiction with a little surrealism and poetics thrown in for good measure.
Here is the requisite plot blurb: Nine months after his wife's death, a man is abducted from his house by a band of violent thieves and taken to a nightmarish city called Weatherhead. There he falls under the dark attentions of the cruel, despotic ruler of the city: the wife he thought dead.
This a love story between a person still living and a person still dead. It is also a hate story between the same, a violent story populated with all manner of ruffians, crimes, running street battles between Love and Hate (a particularly nasty bunch who hang out at soda fountains and dress terribly) and knife-fights between mourning and evening spouses. It is a story of how we remember those who are lost, and how we rebuild those who shattered in life. If life is a place in which we die, what does that make death?
And there you have it!
