A parable for our torn times.   Damian Walford Davies

Deeply and carefully imagined. The Seaborne is about a man pushed to his limits, forced to go deep into himself to rediscover what's important in life. The book asks thought-provoking questions about what modern humans have given up in terms of community, faith and honour in favour of always grasping the new.   BlueInk starred review

A beautiful story, imbued with Celtic themes and a deep spirituality. The story unfurls like a flower coming into bloom. Don MacGregor, author of Blue Sky God

It's 3am and I've been kept up by this book – a compelling read! Beautifully crafted, evocative and a gently gripping storyline that grows. The main character develops into a man whom I felt I really got to know, and made me question how I would manage myself, if something like this happened to me. The images the author has created make me feel like I am also part of this community.    Jane Duncan-Rogers, author of Gifted by Grief

This gripped me from the first chapter. The story is compelling and captivating. A story of loss and discovery, of isolation and belonging. I loved the elemental quality, the spirituality, the unfolding love between Dhion and Shinane, the wisdom and sacrifice of the wise woman and the constant presence of the wild and rugged landscape. The characters are strong and believable. It's a deep and thought-provoking book, and the story lingers on in my mind. Josie Smith, author of Tamboura

This was such an an engaging read. The author does a great job of creating a breathtaking world that draws the reader in and populates it with characters that keep the reader invested throughout. Author Anthony Avina blog

Imagine yourself, as old as you are now – whatever age that is – and whatever burden/blessing of experience you have comes with you. You find yourself in the world as a new babe does (only remember you are how you are now). So far as you can tell you are armed with nothing useful. *Boom*. You have landed smack in the where/how/when in which John finds himself... I keep thinking about this story. It’s compelling, and reminds me of the precarious precious present tense I take for granted ... All the stars for this one. The Seaborne, The Priest’s Wife, The Shareg coming in 2026! Now you libraries, publishers and readers… get the Isle Fincara Trilogy on shelves! Moonkiszt on GoodReads

I found myself sad when I had to leave the island at the end of the book, because I enjoyed the peace and strength that it lent me.   Anna, The Wood Between the Worlds blog

A deep and moving book. Just wonderful. Wholeheartedly recommend this book and I hope the author writes more. Dr D Morris on Amazon
