John Teton’s new novel: The Book of Geezer

Teton’s larger-than-life novel has a terrific premise, full of mystery, humor, and Tesla-inspired gadgets that make the journey into space colorful and exciting. The action scenes have creations of astonishing scale and scope and are described vividly with mind-bending zeal.

--Kirkus Reviews

In The Book of Geezer, twenty-one year-old twins in Northern California get derailed from their ambitious career paths in art and science when their obsession with a mysterious elderly neighbor propels them to the inside of the sun and beyond. Putting a literary spin on speculative fiction, The Book of Geezer is a rollicking, dramatic whirl through interstellar space.

The Book of Geezer is being published as a paperback, e-book, and limited hardcover edition by Oakland-based Scarlet Tanager Books. The paperback is available from Small Press Distribution, online at Amazon or your favorite indie book dealer, and can be ordered through any bookstore. The limited hardcover edition is available from Earthlight Pictures. E-book and audio editions are expected to be available in 2021. (Press Release from Mulford Media)
