Diane Rains and Stu Janis compose and perform creative works designed to connect children and adults to the animals and habitats of our precious Earth. With advanced science degrees as well as 30 years' experience in music, theatre, and other arts, we seamlessly meld arts and science into compelling, original music and story performances, books, choral works, fine art, and fantasy characters.

Neptune's Keep is the married musical duo of Diane Rains and Stu Janis. Our concerts and storytime shows flow with sea chanteys, ballads, and original songs about creatures of water, air, earth, fire, and the fae realms. Lilting vocal harmonies weave with expertly rendered accompaniment on hammered dulcimer, piano, harmonium, concertina, handpan, and other magical instruments. Once upon a time, in an astonishing collaboration, we made ethereal music with fish composer-performers! We really did.

Galene Press creates original, imaginative literature that inspires our precious children to care for our precious Earth. Once a child falls in love with a book character — quirky seahorse or mermaid, faerie or moth — it is quite natural to love sea and forest and real animals that live there. We hope, with every Galene Press book kids read, they fall in love over and over again!
