Hello all! I have just published my second novel for the Kindle and I'm trying to get some feedback and reviews for it. I always have a hard time shoehorning my work into genres, but I'm perfectly content with the 'speculative' label, although maybe 'magical realism' or 'surreal' might be better. Who can say? You can say! If you read the novel. I have gotten some really nice reviews for my first novel, 'The Poem-Skull' and am trying to expand my readership. Here is the 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?
