2023 Novels
As promised, 2023 is Good Deed Rain's year of the novel! Published 4 so far: The Air Over Paris, Neptunalia, The Worrys, American Mantra. Nearly done writing a 5th one. Hope you're enjoying them.
NEPTUNALIA
The new novel NEPTUNALIA will be published July 5, available from Amazon. It's my tribute to the old Neptune Theatre in Seattle. Every night years ago they showed a different double feature, opened me eyes matey! It was a big part of old Seattle history to see their calendar on everyone's refrigerator. When that temple stopped showing films, this novel begins with Neptune leaving, swimming up to where our author now lives. Neptune requests a book be written about him and this is it! There is an inspired cast of characters who become entwined with Feldspar Spoon's Counterfeit Reality machine. Humor, action, mystery and fun! The 190 pages of this novel are brought to life with illustrations by Aaron Gunderson and the cover design is by Priya Shalauta. Here's the cover spread. It's the sort of book someone will one day find and be entranced!

Pongo on Page 57
The next Good Deed Rain novel will be arriving soon. Here’s a peek at page 57. I asked Aaron to draw a gorilla as a bellboy. Not just any gorilla either—constant readers will remember movie star White Pongo who first appeared in the 2019 novel, Walt Amherst is Awake. Aaron is letting me give you a Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake experience with these books—hope you enjoy.
