The Schoonermaster's Dance
Harper Collins 2000
2nd Edition 2001

''Like the sea, that long-held metaphor for human emotions, his writing encompasses the calmness of the glassy ocean and the emotional turbulence of a storm at sea.'
Nadine Cresswell-Myatt, The Herald Sun, 2000

'Constructed with a passion for philosophy and ideas as well as a fascination with story, The Schoonermaster's Dance re-creates the lives of its characters like a documentary. The writing has a delicate wistful tone.a sense of what has already been, and what might have been. This, however, is coupled with a humour and astute observation that builds the characters as full and dense, despite their tenuous presence in the narrative and in time.'
Penelope Davis, The Courier Mail, 2000.
