If Kisses Were Bullets...

A Sick Romance Novel

by H.X. Sin

"The idea that people change. The child eating paste isn’t the accountant on Monroe Street. Does the child cease to exist?"

"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."
- Excerpt from If Kisses Were Bullets...

What The Book Is About

H.X. Sin has crafted a novel in an attempt challenge everything. He began by developing his own linguistic rhythm and combined it with a stylistic design in the hopes of taking books a step forward. In simple words that is what the book is about, going forward. The nameless main character fights to break free from the vicious circles of how things are done. We watch from his perspective as he gives us an interesting insight into 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.

How The Book Came To Exist

If Kisses Were Bullets... is partly based on a true story. It took H.X. several years to complete and when he was done he knew that getting the book published would be difficult. He refused to change it to make it more "saleable" according to the big publishers.

"There are too many interconnected and tightly packed elements to change anything and besides f#*$ them"
- H.X. Sin

It took several more years and some good friends before the possibility of getting the book published came into view. Middle Muse Publishing was launched with the sole purpose of reaching out to other writers like H.X. who had written a good story but would never see their books in print due to difficult marketability.
