Our novel is about two young men who were once boys of the ocean, but are now running from that same ocean. The title comes from the Gaelic prayer which was adapted from ancient Gaelic runes. We want to honestly express the ups and downs of our constant journey of making The Running Waves known to the world. Even when there are discouraging posts, we hope we will inspire readers to never give up and fight to make their own dreams come to life!

R.I.P. Art Clokey

A friend recently asked me why there is an action figure on the cover of TRW, and I told them that it is a symbol of a more innocent time in the main characters' lives. When you read the book you'll experience their time of innocence in many flashback scenes, and also from pop culture references from their childhood. One of the references is to the Davey and Goliath show. When we were kids, all six of us would get up at the crack of dawn and watch the claymation show while eating our Cheerios (Cap'n Crunch with crunch berries on those special mornings). Well, today the creator of Davey and Goliath, Art Clokey passed away. Mr. Clokey will be remembered by the world more for creating Gumby, but for me, he'll be remembered for creating a show that every Saturday brought all the Murphy kids together.
