The Divine Dantes Trilogy
What is the Divine Dantes Trilogy? It's three rock novels wrapped in a compelling love story; each paralleling Dante Alighieri's classic poem, The Divine Comedy in a messed up modern world.
The first book in the trilogy was a finalist in the Best Second Novel of the Indie Book Awards, The Divine Dantes: Squirt Guns in Hades. It it the characters of The Inferno are encountered in modern times with surprising results.
At the center is Eddie, a young rocker who is heartbroken after his girlfriend, Beatrice, leaves for Venice. This not only ends their relationship, but also the world's greatest two-person rock band. At Beatrice's request, Virgil-their erstwhile manager-cum-travel-agent guides Eddie to Europe to meet her without Eddie being in on the secret. Will Eddie want to see Beatrice? Will the band get back together? And if it does, can Eddie settle on a name for it?
The Divine Comedy has influenced the modern music industry, too. Consider these tunes inspired by the classic poem.
