  • Joe Henley is the lead vocalist for the rock band Beach Sirens. After the dismal release of their third studio album, Music to Die to, Joe fears his band falling apart. He drowns the noise with alcohol and drugs until an unforeseen circumstance causes his life to shift trajectories. Unsure about where his career and life are headed, Joe falls into the world of film composing and encounters an array of artists along the way. A comment on modern art, the novel explores what it means to be a creator and what it means to be famous-a challenging and unconventional celebration of art.

  • Jesse David lives in North Carolina. This is his second novel, but the first to be published under his new, independently-owned imprint titled ROT IRON. He has dropped out of four colleges, written five screenplays, and directed two independent feature films.
