SUNRISE ATHLETIC CLUB is a rain-slick, wisecracking noir that proves grief and humor can share the same barstool. Follow Ray Gamble—a broken widower drifting through Portland—after his wife’s sudden death shatters an otherwise tender love story. Narrated by a sardonic angelic observer with a trench-coat soul, the novel slides from grief-lit introspection into hardboiled mystery when a body surfaces in the lap pool of an upscale tennis club where secrets sink faster than swimmers. With sharp dialogue, dark humor, and a bruised heart beating beneath the pulp swagger, A.A. Gast delivers a noir for grown-ups— with sharp dialogue, absurd touches, and a bruised heart hiding behind the punchlines, A.A. Gast delivers a pulp mystery that’s funny, sad, and sneakily profound.

ELEANOR is a whiskey-soaked noir romp that drags readers into a smiling Midwestern town with rot in the floorboards and secrets stacked higher than the corn. Following Simon and Ray—two aging, beer-loving amateur sleuths who stumble into danger with reckless charm—the story spirals from a supposed tennis trip into a darkly comic mystery involving skydiving deaths, and a town where everyone’s polite and nobody’s clean. Gast’s prose snaps with pulp swagger and razor-edged humor, blending absurdity, menace, and surprising heart, all narrated with a voice that knows its way around a barstool and a moral gray area. Funny, dangerous, and oddly tender, ELEANOR is a small-town mystery with big attitude—part Fargo, part back-alley confession, and all kinds of trouble.
