Greetings, Paul, and thanks for reaching out. If my new novel, Wolf in the Hole, meets your interest for reading and/ore reviewing, I'll be happy to connect. Below, you'll please find the book blurb and, attached, I've included the cover jacket.
Much appreciated and
Be Well,
Judd
Wolf in the Hole blurb:
William Wolfman is a recently-retired minor league hockey player who leaves behind a 16-year pro career with a reputation for bruise and brawn. Like myriad pro athletes, Wolfman suddenly finds his life beyond the ice both undefined and uncharted.
After a lengthy spell of carousing, irresponsibility and mercurial travel, his burn for purpose (and aggression) finds focus in digging a hole on his property in the Southern California high desert.
Serving as both metaphor and existential stoplight, the hole becomes bigger, deeper and eventually, if not ultimately, finds Wolfman upon a stage of performance for which he admittedly longs in his post-hockey life. While the project serves Wolfman’s soul, the growing hole, of course, does not meet the liking of all who encounter its depth and scope.
Hi Judd, thanks for reaching out and for sharing the blurb. The premise definitely caught my attention, especially the idea of the hole becoming both a physical project and something more existential for Wolfman. I'd be interested in learning a little more about what kind of reader feedback you're looking for with the novel. Are you mainly looking for general reader reactions, or are there particular areas you'd like someone to pay close attention to?
Thanks for the interest, Paul; totally appreciated. At this stage, now that the book is out, guess what I'm looking/hoping for is a graduation from feedback into formal (gratis) reviews, and those which are posted for some sort of public audience, in return for a complementary copy of the novel. Not sure if this is your jam, but, if so, please let me know. Many thanks again and Be Well, Judd
Thanks Judd, I appreciate you clarifying. I’m mainly focused on beta reading and more detailed manuscript feedback at the moment, so formal public reviews aren’t really what I’m offering. That said, I appreciate you reaching out and I’d be happy to stay connected.
