News -- Bohemia Receives Favorable Review from Examiner.com

Just four days following its release date, Bohemia has already drawn positive responses from readers and critics alike. Read the latest review by Examiner.com's literary critic, Joyce Butler, who branded Bohemia as  
"a story of young men and women accomplishing their first of everything in a time when “firsts” were not eagerly embraced. “Bohemia” is a good read if you are looking for a ‘60’s nostalgia...Veronika Carnaby has been able to allow her readers a fictional view into the lifestyle of a few of those artistic and literary pioneers as they evolve into the artists whose work today would be regarded as “classic”.

News -- Bohemia Now Available Worldwide!

Veronika Carnaby is proud to announce the official release of her debut novel,  Bohemia, available for purchase on Amazon, Kindle, and CreateSpace e-store. To order your copy of Bohemia today, please follow the respective links.

Don't miss out on Carnaby's thrilling new read for the modern beatnik, in which she provides a wild, unrestrained account of '60s counterculture youth bursting out of their creative shells. Influenced by the works of Beat writers and poets, the story takes place during 1960 and chronicles a group of bohemian twenty-somethings who defy the "ideals" of a mid-twentieth century society to seek creative fulfillment. More than anything, the author's spontaneous narrative and equally as impulsive characters brilliantly reflect the rebellious nature of art.

"What's different about this book is its stylistic approach,"  the author expressed in a recent statement. "I like to consider it offbeat, avant garde. The plot wasn't written in a traditional manner, but rather in a spontaneous burst over a short period. If you take a liking to the authors of the Beat movement, you'll enjoy Bohemia."

The book includes a cover quote from notable jazz musician and composer, Archie Shepp.


About the author: Veronika Carnaby's vintage charm carries into her written works. Over the years, her Beat-style prose pieces have gained international recognition after appearing in such publications and functions as The Ed Sullivan Show, SESAC Magazine, SXSW, and the SESAC New York Music Awards, among others. Carnaby infuses her writing with a poignancy and passion for 20th century culture. Find out more and stay updated at her official website and official Twitter account, @VeronikaCarnaby.
