A magnet for trouble. A dubious destiny. His quest for true love could succeed, if only his moral compass didn't point South. The American West, 1850. Former French dandy Didier Rain's weakness for saloon girls, money, and whiskey keep derailing his plan to join the pantheon of epic poets. So, when he's approached by holy men claiming he's part of a prophecy, he agrees to transport an infant bride for a soul-selling sum of $30,000. But to fulfill his foretold role, he'll have to succeed at two tasks at which he's always failed: keeping the cork in the bottle and his pants buttoned. Unable to resist lustful impulses and outrageously depraved detours, Rain wreaks havoc through his augured misfortunes. Riding the treacherous pioneer landscape, his non-existent survival instincts send him down a trail littered with his own sin and probable doom. Will Rain's questionable care deliver the girl to her groom unsullied by his unsavory pursuits? Delivering Virtue, A Dark Comedy Adventure of the West is the first book in the sublimely twisted historical magical realism series, The Epic of Didier Rain. If you like absurdist fiction, witty wordplay, and sordid humor, then you'll love Brian Kindall's quirky foray into a reimagined American Frontier. Buy Delivering Virtue to teeter on a tightrope between the dastardly and the divine today!
Autorenporträt
Brian Kindall is an author living in the mountains of Central Idaho, a world with long winters perfectly designed for holing up and writing novels. His books range in diversity from middle-grade novels - Blue Sky, Pearl, and Sparrow - to the ongoing adult fiction series, The Epic of Didier Rain novels, Delivering Virtue and Fortuna and the Scapegrace, to his most recent publication, Escape from Oblivia - One man's midlife crisis gone primal. His accolades include starred reviews at BlueInk and Foreword Reviews, being a finalist for ForeWord Reviews literary novel of the year award (Delivering Virtue), A Seal of Excellence awarded by Awesome Indies (Delivering Virtue), and an Editor's Choice award granted by the Historical Novel Society (Delivering Virtue). Twisted humor is a given in Brian's work, as those long winters mentioned earlier tend to drive a writer slightly mad.
