Hope you had a great time around Christmas and New Years. It was a nice two week break for me from almost everything. Now it's time to be back and here I am with my first post for 2015.
Book details:
Paradise Rot, Book 1 in the Island Trilogy
Author: Larry WeinerGenre: Satirical fiction
Audience: Adult
Publisher: Booktrope Publishing
Description: Kyle Brightman--late of the advertising industry
and soon-to-be-late of the 5th floor psych ward--has a job offer he can't
refuse. A new resort in the Caribbean is looking for an art director. Kyle soon
finds himself on the Isle of St. Agrippina working alongside a beautiful
copywriter with an icy (perhaps undead) handshake. Questions arise: Why does
the resort management team sport spray-on tans in the Bahamas? How can the
resort offer such cheap vacation packages? What does one do with vats of
Astroglide? To get the answers, Kyle must first navigate a series of wildly
unpredictable events with a cast of even more wildly unpredictable characters,
including a seductress jungle assassin, her partially paralyzed talking
Chihuahua, an Ivy League Rastafarian seaplane captain, Kyle's ex-psych ward
roommate, a former Haliburton mercenary, and a French tavern owner with a
fondness for goats, all set to the greatest hits of the 70's. Pablo Cruise
never felt so right.
Author Bio: Larry Weiner is the author of
PARADISE ROT (BOOK ONE) and ONCE AGAIN, WITH BLOOD (BOOK TWO). Larry earned a
degree in film from California State University, Los Angeles and was an
award-winning art director. And then he got the heck out of Dodge (advertising)
and decided he was better at fiction for the greater good (entertainment/deep
thoughts) than fiction to make people buy stuff they don’t need
(advertising/shallow consumerism). He lives on an island in the Pacific Northwest
with his wife, two kids and a gaggle of animals.
Praise
for ISLAND TRILOGY:
PARADISE ROT (BOOK ONE) "Weiner writes with a smart, fun, electric style in the
vein of Dave Eggers or Chuck Palahniuk." –Kenneth
G. Bennett, author of EXODUS 2022
(Coming Spring 2015) ONCE AGAIN, WITH BLOOD
(BOOK TWO) “It’s a maniacal thrill ride of a literary
experience, with trenchant observations, wicked one-liners, screwball
characters and twisted takes on pop culture smacking you in the face with
impunity. It’s gonzo, and galling, and glorious, and once you take that first
hit, you’ll only want more." —Craig Lancaster,
best-selling author of 600 Hours of Edward, Edward Adrift and The Fallow Season
of Hugo Hunter
