"The writing is honest and direct and pulls no punches."   -- Clay Reynolds, contest judge 
                                      
Reader reviews from Amazon:

"Delphine is one of the most interesting fictional women I have encountered in a long time.  I want to share a glass of wine and plate of olives with her and have a long conversation."   -- P. H. 

"Through Delphine's eyes and ears, Reeves delivers to the reader the sights, sounds, tastes, aromas, and 'feel' of the locales from Rome to Istanbul and on to Jerusalem and Palestine."   -- S.H.

"This vividly written novella contains more than many novels.  It's about a woman who seems to drift through life, but finally finds something to care about and fight for, even if she risks everything in the process."   -- S. M.

The Night Action. originally published in 1966, has been republished in an e-edition by Automat Press with a new author's introduction. It is available now from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes, Kobo, and Scribd.

The book has been called "the last great novel in the canon of Beat literature. It can be seen as the link between Beat culture and the more politically-conscious hippie culture of the late-60s and early-70s. The novel careens around the night spots of San Francisco's North Beach and the words seem to fly off the page in the style of Tom Wolfe or the lyrics of Tom  Waits. Not only was it the last novel of an era, The Night Action serves as an epitaph of the Beat Generation in the same way The Great Gatsby was of the Jazz Era."   
  
The novel was bought by Jack Warner to make as a movie starring Natalie Wood. A script was written, locations in North Beach were scouted, but the movie was never made.
