Naked in the Rain, the debut novel of Portland resident Eowyn Wood, was named the winner in the Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgender category and finalist in the Best Cover Design category for the 2008 Next Generation Indie Book Awards (the “Indie Book Awards”), an international contest.

Naked in the Rain is the story of two teenage boys who run away with dreams of escaping their abusive homes and exploring the world. But reality hits as River and Brian wander the streets of Los Angeles: no money, no food, nowhere to go. Until they meet a stranger who brings them home to his mansion in the Hollywood Hills. The mansion is filled with secrets, and the boys discover they are living in a high-class brothel. River and Brian fall in love with each other as they are lured into a world of drugs, power and prostitution.

Naked in the Rain is the debut novel from Eowyn Wood. In addition to her work as an author, she performs editing for Crooked Hills Publishing and works at a nonprofit AIDS service organization. After five years in Los Angeles, Wood relocated to Portland, Ore., where she has now resided for more than a decade.
