Tiger! Tiger!
Ginninderra Press, Port Adelaide, 2008
This book consists of six stories of varying length and reflects the writer's obsession with William Blake's poem 'The Tiger'. Each story, using a line of the poem as its title has a different voice and aims to show the often tenuous relationship between predator and prey in human relationships since it is the author's contention that we are all either hunters or hunted.
