Goody Celeste

CHRIS RIKER is a father, author, and journalist. He grew up in Rhode Island and now makes his home in Georgia with his wife, Ping. He has always loved books, from science fiction and fantasy to historical novels and biographies. Building on a background in broadcast news, including a five-year stint at CNNI, he is now focused on telling stories with strong characters and moral resonance. He's a left-handed lover of bad puns, muscadines, and pesty kitties. Chris Riker's premiere novel, "Come the Eventide", focuses on a world after the fall of civilization and a dolphin named Muriel who is trying to save mankind from extinction. It is available now on Amazon and Audible. His second novel, "Zebulon Angell and the Shadow Army", follows a hard-living Uber driver from Atlanta who happens upon a sex pill, leading to intrigues and adventures that take him inside the haunted tomb of China's first emperor. "Skinners - A Love Story" follows a race of shapeshifters bent on taking over the set of a gothic TV series being shot in Atlanta, and the narcissistic actor who must stop them... if he doesn't join them first. "Goody Celeste" finds three teenage boys and a melancholy witch joining together to face a stranger who's got plans for a small Rhode Island town in the summer of 1969.
