McCloskey

If I was in Brunswick, Maine I would run to the library to see this exhibit of Robert McCloskey art.

Last week on my lunchbreak, I followed a miniature camel caravan to this oasis on the bricks.

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!
