L Extreme

AN EXTREME NOVEL INSPIRED BY THE ACCLAIMED DOUBLE ALBUM

Before he was the best songwriter you've never heard of, Benji Hughes was an ordinary lovelorn guy living in a small apartment on an okay side of town with a roommate named C and a girlfriend named L. Prior to that, he's contractually prohibited from disclosing any details…but does anyway via an epic fairytale straight from the heart. 

When two otherworldly entities aware of Benji's past arrive looking for assistance and/or revenge, Benji, C and their neighbor down the hall Frank team up song by song in a mostly faithful re-interpretation of the greatest double debut album you've probably never heard (but really should...)

L Extreme is an eclectic novel mirroring its namesake record in genre crossing extremeness. Equal parts buddy comedy, love story, epic fairy tale, album-oriented fan fiction and more. It gets a little extreme. L EXTREME: An original story by Timely Persuasion author JL Civi, based on the music of Benji Hughes, inspired by the double album A Love Extreme & the space opera LILILIL.

A novel based on an album is a book with a killer soundtrack...

Side A: Happy Halloween
Side B: The Ballad of Heartman & Songstress
Side C: Love is Weird, Love is Wild, Love is Far Out
Side D: Another Extreme

Featuring an afterword by Benji Hughes
