Hello all,
Six years ago, I finally succeeded in kicking my eight-year heroin addiction and decided to focus on my novel. Today that novel is complete and fully published!
I'll post the synopsis below along with a link to my amazon page but if you are intrigued but without cash then you may still be able to help with your perspective. If anyone here has the time and an active amazon account, I'd be happy to send you a digital copy of my book for free in exchange for a well thought out and honest review of the book on my amazon page. I have about 7 advanced reader copies left to hand out. Thank you!
Private Destiny
A degenerate anti-hero for this post-post-modern age of cynicism, Rick Thompson feels like he has missed the train, that America's best days are behind him. In this novel that spans the dark side of modern Americana, Rick struggles to stay clean on the streets of a New York City ravaged by The Sickness, a drug epidemic out of control and of conspiratorial proportions. His investigative journalism career seems to have hit a dry spell until Rick stumbles onto a case that he believes ties the biggest corporation in the state to the epidemic, which could lead not only to the greatest story of his career but might also be the answer to curing all those afflicted around him. That is until his ex shows up to his apartment with something that will bring them deeper into this conspiracy than he could have ever wanted.
Private Destiny highlights just how easily the American mind seems to fall prey to the delusion and convenience of conspiracy and tells a story that shows how, in a world without meaning, most people are left to make up their own. It's crime, conspiracy, sex, drugs, societal critique, and psychological reflection bundled in the dark humor of a pulp shell.
If this sounds like a book that intrigues you and you have the time, send me a DM and i'd be happy to get you an electronic ARC (Advance review copy) in exchange for a review.
If you don't feel like reviewing the book but would still love to read it, please grab a paperback copy at the link below! Thank you guys so much, I'm happy to be a part of this community and I hope that you all get a fraction out of this book what I put into it. Cheers!
