Salutations and Bonjour! My name is Didier Rain. I am the primary player in the new novel, DELIVERING VIRTUE, penned by the singularly talented Mister Brian Kindall. Said tome will enjoy its debut in November, and is rumored to be a tantalizing read full of ribald mischief, spiritual mystery, cunning word play, with a large dose of pulse-quickening adventure to boot. It will surely make me famous and financially solvent beyond my most fanciful fictional dreams. If landmark, life-changing narrative is to your liking, then this book, I trust, will not disappoint. It is already receiving flattering accolades among the literati. Some have even compared it to the works of Shakespeare and Milton, although, admittedly, other more critical puritans have been less kind, citing my own humble character as an example of all that is bombastic and disreputable in the analistic byways of American Literature. Phooey! At any rate, you are well advised to investigate this novel’s many merits, as your earthly existence will most assuredly be improved by so doing.

Mister Kindall has asked that I step in for him this week as an intercessor to his usual posting of a blog – a sort of dashing and witty blogular surrogate, if you will. It seems as of late that our scribbler has been overburdened with too much intellectual pursuit and worldly worries to accomplish the obligation of his weekly broadsheet. He is, instead, lying prone and all atremble – a steaming tincture tea within his easy reach, and a cold-press dabbed upon his overtaxed pate. Please forgive Brian his many mortal failings. He understands your addiction to his sterling prose and is, I assure you, wretched and aching with an insuperable guilt over his inability to provide you with a literary opiate more ingenious and insightful than this modest vaudevillian proxy.

Meet Didier Rain – that antihero with noble aspirations, that poet with the fickle pen, that eager paramour ever in search of someone to love. In this adventure-laden Sideshow, we glimpse the rogue as he was in those days prior to his now famous exploits in DELIVERING VIRTUE and FORTUNA AND THE SCAPEGRACE (coming this summer). Prepare yourself to be amazed at Rain’s cleverness, daring, and near-to-honorable acts of madcap heroism as he lends a helping hand to a friend. For what self-respecting bard (even when distracted by the promises of a voluptuous one-legged trollop) would deign to allow the mistreatment of a fellow poet, no matter how much a freak of nature that fellow poet might be? This novelette gives us Didier Rain at his finest as a flawed human being. It shows us the man before he became the Chosen One, and maybe even grants us insight into why the gods would eventually pick him for that exalted station so sung in his further novels. So sit back and get to know the man behind the dubious legend.

Prepare yourself to be amused!
