Full Moon Over Faulconbridge: Murder, Madness and Magic in the Blue Mountains is not your typical novel. Nor is it your typical story.

The author’s time in the Blue Mountains, combined with meeting the indigenous people of the area and collaborative inspiration with his good friend John Galea, brought about the birth of Full Moon Over Faulconbridge. It came about first a radio play, next as a screenplay, then as a musical, and now as a novel.

Possible subtitles for this novel included ‘when Australian indigenous spirits and the Fae of Ireland clash’, ‘the evolution of the first were-kangaroo’, ‘the old women in the mirror’, ‘the history behind the Death Train Engineer’, ‘Bob’s your [demonic gnome] uncle’, and ‘meet the feral Giant Strawberry’.

The author sincerely hopes you have a rollicking good time with the various characters and their stories. And please do watch out for random giant strawberries.
