A contemporary novel about a baby boy abandoned near the Miccosukee Reservation in the Florida Everglades west of Miami. The surrounding community of Native American neighbors adopt and raise the young "John Doe" as their own, and when they realize that John has the ability to come and go with such stealth that his communal family members seldom notice, he is given the surname "Ghostwalker." John Ghostwalker is a kind-hearted and precocious young man, a superior student, and a socially peculiar human being. He has an almost obsessive need for a secret sanctuary where he can find respite from...

Poems come to me unexpectedly, as does the weather to each day. Sometimes it's fine and sunny and then it's dark and stormy; often it's something caught between these two extremes. Just like the weather, I have no real control over the form each poem decides to take, and it's quite a buzz being "in the moment" when a thought spills onto the page. Poetry most definitely has a life of its own, and at best, all I can do is guide it around the page and hope the reader likes it. Love and melancholy are never far away in my poetry, and therefore, reflecting high emotions, they can soar to brilliant...

We can only really know about love and life in hindsight. Looking back on this linier poetic experiment called the Sea trilogy, I've learnt a lot about what is important about the "bigger experiment." Through poetry I have been able to look deeper into my own, and others, prejudices and fears, loves and obsessions, and I can honestly say I have been unburdened by this release of words, and in many ways, I'm very much healed. For me, nothing beats the ability to reach down to the soul and transform that intangible entity of fragile mortal thoughts into a substance that will transcend beyond...

I have spoken before about poetry having a life of its own, and I feel I should elaborate on this statement. I can wake with the remnants of subconscious words, and I have taken to recording them before I rise. The day fades that dreamlike message until I get the opportunity to return to that recording and write. I cannot count how many thoughts, therefore poems, have been lost before I adopted this practice. I would recommend that all writers who experience fleeting thoughts in a similar manner should do as I do. Often, devoid of ideas, staring at a blank page, I suddenly write a line that...

When an occasion demands words, as they do, it's all too easy to blabber on and never actually say what we mean to say. Words then become hidden, like a raindrop from a cloudburst disappears into a puddle, emotions diluted by a tumultuous outburst. Being a bit of a blabbermouth myself, I decided to apply a little restraint and employ the economy of word when writing this collection. Saying all you need and making the point with four short lines has been the order of the day, well, for this day at least.

LOVE and other things is romantic, emotive and at times, brutally honest. The book reaches out to touch the reader's open heart and is an invitation To have their heartstrings tugged and their senses awoken. Kevin Robinson
