Ben Vendetta's Rock 'n' Roll Novel, Heartworm, Releases on October 15

CLEVELAND - Sept. 28, 2015 - PRLog -- Ben Vendetta's second novel, Heartworm, will be released on October 15, 2015 by Cooperative Trade, available in eBook and paperback editions on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and select retailers.

Heartworm is the second in a trilogy that began with the highly acclaimed Wivenhoe Park (Cooperative Trade, 2013). Set in 1995, small-time music critic, Drew, has a desire for destruction. While championing an underdog Irish band, Whipping Boy, he embarks on a voyage of sex and drugs from Boston to Belfast while burying memories of his estranged wife – who is now in danger. His life was once saved by rock ‘n’ roll, but it may be too late for redemption.

Laura DeMarco of the Cleveland Plain Dealer says, Heartworm is "a moving and often very funny look at growing older, sometimes not so gracefully, as the post-college years turn into adulthood. And, it comes with a great soundtrack, from the Jesus and Mary Chain to Oasis to Whipping Boy."

Dagger Zine writes, "Vendetta has done another terrific job of keeping readers eyes glued to the pages. It was a real page turner that I honestly had a hard time putting down (it didn’t hurt that plenty o’ cool bands were mentioned on nearly every page). This book will appeal to music geeks like myself as well as folks who like a good love story."
