Zack and the gang have just saved The Max from being closed when Alisa comes in. My life is much more adequate since I've given her the key to this joint.

"I've been waiting for you," I say. I don't move from my position on the couch. It took me long enough to get the blanket perfectly wrapped around me, I'm not going to ruin it now. "I have this craving for a bagel with cream cheese."

"Well, I got you cinnamon rolls and a coffee." Alisa's voice echoes off the kitchen walls.

"Ali, please?"

"You're imaginative," she hands me the coffee and a cinnamon roll. "Pretend it's a bagel."

When If Kisses Were Bullets... was finished H.X. knew that getting the book published would be difficult. It was Middle Muse who came to the rescue with the idea of supporting quality writers who had created books that would be hard to get published by big publishers due to difficult marketability. So Middle Mused created a division with that idea in mind using If Kisses Were Bullets... as their flagship novel. This is the book that people will be talking about.

The rough road is still not as Middle Muse discovered that they would be playing and competing in the big publishers world. Things like editing, layout and cover design that larger companies could do in days became month long process with the minimal Middle Muse staff. They also learned that getting reviews to read the book, newspapers to notice it or book stores to put it on their shelves is a challenge with so many people producing books and battling to get the best coverage.

H.X. Sin has twisted words making the main characters life story as confusing to the reader as it is to himself. This is not a book most will understand and never claims to be. Layered with social satire the antagonist ponders the world around him wondering why ignorance begets ignorance he is torn between his loathing of human nature and his desire to lead mankind away from its own destruction. Yet above all else he must never give up to the pressure of other peoples beliefs and always following his own personal moral code. He is generation Y. In direct opposition to their parents, the baby boomers.
Most of generation Y has would rather do things for others instead of just for themselves.  Given the opportunity we would choose to throw out everything the baby boomers have built up around us.  So it seems that the legacy the baby boomer hope to build will not go on forever and will actually begin to crumble in the next twenty years. Which doesn't matter now but eventually will when the baby boomers realize that we will not be building memorials in their honor or voting to front their Medicare bills. It's time for generation Y to act before our future is taken away.

This is what the main character has been struggling against with his entire life... that and murder. If analyzing the philosophical and social depths of the novel doesn't keep you busy than solving the murder will. If Kisses Were Bullets... weaves through the history of the main character. This is a story about all levels of love. We watch from his perspective as romance and life cut him short. Is there something in his past that could have created a brutal serial killer? Was he in the wrong place in the wrong time? Or are his paranoid delusions real? Is he being set up?

The most intelligent book you'll read in awhile.
