Strange things are happening! Silicon Valley refugees have invaded a Hawaii high-tech hippie cult with dreams of revolution and a new island utopia. In this fast and ferocious tale of mystery, romance and thrills, Hollywood's go-to guy in Hawaii, Henry "Waimea" Ward, must puzzle the pieces to find a missing girl and save the island, and the women in his life, from destruction. His teenage goddaughter is a force of nature. His actress girlfriend has island fever, while the embers of his first love are starting to burn again. Waimea Uprising is the gung-ho debut to this fresh new series. "Summer Book Winner: Best Beach Book! The gleeful tale is a Hawai'i fantasy, with a beautiful edge! We love the characters and so does the author." Art Report Today .com "Arts humorist Gordy Grundy has written his first novel. Several years ago, the visual artist and columnist left the Los Angeles contemporary art world with BURN, a retrospective show of 200+ artworks. What didn't sell, he burned. He then headed west to the South Seas where he put pen to ink and created Waimea Uprising his first novel-length fiction. Keep your eye on this arts provocateur at all times." Tulsa Kinney, Editor, Artillery magazine "A page turning blast, Waimea Uprising surfs a wild wave of fascinating women, a doomsday cult and a reigniting romance in the island paradise of Hawaii, from the inimitable imagination and slick prose of Gordy Grundy." Michael Delgado, A. G. Geiger Booksellers "A literary Mai Tai, this new novel is as fast and fun as a tandem ride on a perfect wave at Waikiki. Author Gordy Grundy brings the craziness of Hollywood and Silicon Valley to the shores of Hawaii. An amazingly entertaining book!" John Philbin, Surfer + Actor, Point Break, North Shore, Tombstone "Author Gordy Grundy is a student of human foibles. His absolutely original voice, forged in the crucible of the LA art world, rollicks across a sort of Gonzo-style Postmodernism, with a careening appreciation of Dadaist absurdity, and a painterly knack for exacerbated detail. Part Elmore Leonard, part Hunter S. Thompson, equal parts Carl Hiaasen and Dorothy Parker, Waimea: Uprising proves that Paradise too has a seedy underbelly - a suntanned demimonde of grifters, cynics, socialites, showrunners, movie stars, hackers, and charismatic villains ready for a screen test." Shana Nys Dambrot, Arts Editor, LA Weekly
