The Divine Dantes: Squirt Guns in Hades
My new novel is now published! A heartbroken young rocker. A bunny costume. Former girlfriend in Venice. A literary romp across continents to get her back while meeting the characters of Dante’s The Divine Comedy in a messed-up, modern world.
Eddie is a frustrated twenty-something rocker who is heartbroken after his girlfriend, Bea, left for Venice. This not only ended their relationship, but also their two-person rock band. Eddie’s so down and out he has taken to dressing up in a bunny costume and waving to traffic in front of a travel agency to make ends meet. At Bea’s request, Virgil—their erstwhile manager-cum-travel-agent—guides Eddie to Europe to meet her once again without him being in on the secret. Will Eddie get (back) his girl, settle on a name for the band, and rid himself of the bunny costume chaffing?
If "The Divine Comedy" and "Catcher in the Rye" met on a smoky lawn at a rock concert, "The Divine Dantes: Squirt Guns in Hades" would be it.
