Raking Reviews

Dear Blogging-Community-at-Large:
My second novel, Raking the Dust, will be re-released by Unsolicited Press on April 3rd (as part of a build-up toward the release of my new novel, Nocturne Variations, in November). I am offering a limited number of free digital copies of RTD, in exchange for honest reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, blogs, etc., to be posted after the April 3rd release date. If you are interested in receiving a copy (PDF), please shoot me an email (johnbiscello@gmail.com). Here’s a little bit about the book:
In this rogue’s tale, full of sound, fury, and erotic surrealism, we meet Alex Fillameno, a writer who has traded in the machine-grind of New York for a bare bones existence in the high desert town of Taos, New Mexico. Recently divorced and jobless, Fillameno has become a regular at The End of the Road, the bar where he first encounters the alluring and enigmatic D.J., a singer and musician. Drawn to her mutable sense of reality, the two begin a romance that starts off relatively normal. When D.J. initiates Alex into the realm of sexual transfiguration, however, their lives turn inside-out, and what follows is an anti-hero’s journey into a nesting doll world of masks and fragments, multiples and parallels, time-locks and trauma; a world in which reality is celluloid and what you see is never what you get.
Thanks, and stay creatively lubed, lighted and inflamed, y’all.
Yours, J.B.
