This is the story of a lonely white dolphin, and a tree, curiously shaped like a guitar with too many strings. And of an outcast singer, a honeybee and other strange misfits who help a young boy bring long-awaited rain to seven precious gifts, that have lain dormant for aeons in the parched body of the Earth.
The rain awakens the gifts; and the gifts awaken the boy. And the boy awakens the Earth.

US REVIEW of BOOKS: "Perhaps the most unusual book you'll ever read, as educational and inspiring as Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, but far more readable and enjoyable."
The BOOKLIFE PRIZE: "This is a wonderful current-day twist on fairy tales, faith, subjective morality, and the search for universal truths."

"Madness dances with brilliance" -- The Nelson Mail
"This highly unusual tale delivers seven thought-provoking stories, laced with a large collection of some of the most bizarre and memorable characters that have ever appeared in a book ... these quite incredible characters and events begin to strike the reader as insanity on the part of the author. However, if insanity it is, this is the type that gives birth to great achievements" -- The Book Review Blog

I was born and brought up in Liverpool, UK just after The War and went straight from school to sea as a young officer in the Royal Navy. After five years I resigned and worked as a professional yacht skipper for quite a few years before settling to full time writing.
