If Kisses Were Bullets... by H.X. Sin |
"Liz rolled on top of me, kissing my neck. I was still somewhere else, lost in thought processes but she was straddling me. When she began to undress, like most men, my higher brain functions ceased. All of my resources were diverted to physical and visual stimuli. Next thing I knew, we're having sex. I knew the situation was off or at least I should have thought it was off. My suit for the funeral was hanging in the corner. My mother died not thirty feet from where I was. I was having sex with the passing girl. We were making noise to drown out the sounds of pain." |

What The Book Is About 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. Some how though his moral code turns gray when it comes to woman and sex... sometimes he just can't help himself. "The idea that people change. The child eating paste isn’t the accountant on Monroe Street. Does the child cease to exist?"
How The Book Came To Exist If Kisses Were Bullets... is the culmination of efforts by H.X Sin the owners of Middle Muse. While the novel itself took several years to write getting it published took as long. 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. The rough road is still not over as both H.X. and 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. Even still Middle Muse and H.X. remain hopeful knowing that If Kisses Were Bullets.. and the ideas behind it can carry them through. All they need is a little help from their friends and hopefully their fans. H.X Sin brings art back to the novel.
