The Outcast Missing Someone a Novel

Image
 Welcome to my new Blog. I am David Biesty a newly published author. My book is a novel: The Outcast Missing Someone . It is available on Amazon as an eBook and paperback. I appreciate everyone who took a chance on a new author and tried my book. I hope it is up to your standards. It took a long time to get to this point. I started writing this about 14 years ago. A lot of life happened in between, but the book was finished how I imagined it from the start. I wrote it from start to finish with few notes, never jumping ahead. I have had so much support from so many people that they could not be listed here. Thanks to everyone who helped me get to this accomplishment!

L. Johnson 5 Star Review

 Thank You to Larry Johnson who gave me a 5 Sar Rating and a very nice review. He also included some editing tips, which I appreciate. Copy and pasted here: Larry Johnson A very good first novel August 27, 2021 Format : Paperback This book has excellent characters and an interesting plot. If it seems not to have much point early, stick with it. You'll be rewarded. Biesty is a master at creating a sense of simultaneous working-class struggle and aimlessness, and his main character, Dan Carolan, is a polished and practiced cynic with good reason to be. His roommates are a circus of users who take petty advantage of one another and are mostly jerks. This is an excellent first novel. I found it interesting that Biesty is retired from the New York City Fire Department. A note to the editors: Hemingway either has one M or two. Can't be both. And "dieing" doesn't mean to change the color of something. Excellent book, though, and a lively read.

Five Star Review for The Outcast Missing Someone

Paul on Good Reads gave my book, The Outcast Missing Someone , five stars and a really nice review I am reposting here. David Biesty has created a rich and realistic world filled with a colorful cast of characters who are doing their best to survive in New York City. The book explores fate and grief and the strength and resiliency of the human condition. We grow to love the conflicted and complicated narrator and to fall along with him every time he gets knocked flat on his back. I didn’t want to put the book down, but instead rushed toward the unexpected yet highly satisfying and somehow inevitable ending. This may be the author’s first book, but hopefully it won’t be his last.
