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.

 I received my first review today. Here it is. 😀 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2020 Verified Purchase This story of a hard working guy is a great read. The characters are very relatable and I became wrapped up in their struggles as they searched for ways to make ends meet. The reader gains insight into the events that led to the conflicting nature of the lead character who at different times is charitable, seemingly selfish and frequently self-destructive. The New York City setting adds ambiance to the story. I will not say more as I do not want to be a story spoiler. The read is definitely worth the time.

The Outcast Missing Someone a Novel

 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!
