The HOA – A Novel

The HOA – A Novel


The HOA - A Novel
The HOA – A Novel coming soon…

What do you find when you look under the paper-thin veneer of an upscale Homeowner’s Association? Behind the mandated white-only window treatments, the always-closed garage doors, and in select areas, well maintained landscaping, you will find an array of eccentric homeowners, many of them trying to subvert and take control of the HOA.

The HOA is the debut novel from David B. Roundsley. Author of his memoir, Bad Blood: A Life Without Consequence, about his 13-year search for his birth parents, shocking discoveries and the half-siblings he discovered. The HOA is a much lighter read, sitting somewhere between the first Tales of the City book by Armistead Maupin and Desperate Housewives. Minus the eating disorders, cosmetic surgery and body count.

To stay up to date on the progress of the book and to be notified when the Kickstarter Campaign goes live, you can sign up for the Mailing List HERE!

The book, Bad Blood – A Life Without Consequence and the companion album, Bad Blood, by Munich Syndrome, will both be going to press and be sent out to all the Kickstarter backers before the end of the year. Signed copies will include three 5×7 postcards, suitable for framing along with a custom bookmark.

Our Kickstarter campaign for Bad Blood – A Life Without Consequence, book and album has funded! The book and album are available now through October 18 at noon. Please check out the campaign before it ends.

Bad Blood – A Life Without Consequence book & album

My name is David B. Roundsley and “Bad Blood – A Life Without  Consequence” (Book and Album) is my memoir about the search for my birth parents and my  DNA origins. I am a musician (writing and recording as Munich Syndrome  since the mid-80’s), graphics and multimedia designer and an adoptee.  This book lays out and details the unexpected search for my DNA origins  and brings to light the far-reaching consequences of poor judgments and  bad decisions.

The story reads on many levels: true-crime, adventure, mystery and in some  respects a how-to for anyone sincerely interested in discovering the  truth about their DNA origins and past. Covering many decades and many lives, the book is a documentation of my search and the many families that were affected.

Bad Blood – the album

I am also a musician, writing and recording under the name Munich  Syndrome since the mid-80’s. While this is my first book, the  accompanying soundtrack / curated listening will be my 11th album.

The genesis of the Bad Blood album was to initially do a song for the book and Kickstarter project (“Bad Blood, the Ballad of a Bad Man”), but evolved into a soundtrack / curated listening experience to accompany the book.

The 16-track album of  dreamy electronica mixed with acoustic instruments is cinematic,  atmospheric, dreamy, mysterious and an aural companion to the book.
