Set against a brilliant panorama of European expansion into the West in the late 1800s, Moon Dance is the horrifying tale of the illegitimate son of the Count von Bachl-Wolfling, leader of a pack of Viennese werewolves, and of the boy's all-too-human governess, Speranza. The pack has decided to emigrate to America, in search of wild lands and unsuspicious human prey. But unbeknownst to them, the Dakota territory is already home to the Shungmanitu--a clan of the Lakota Sioux who become wolves by the light of the full moon.
As my path of life led me down the path of self-destruction, I took a look at the reasons why and tried to find hope. In my own way I conquered my own darkness.

In it I found the peace and answers that I had searched for. So let me lead you to try to find the same answers with my every pen stroke, in this sequel to Poetry of the Soul.

The play is set in a sandbagged trench at Gallipoli, 1915, and throws the concepts of heroism into a new perspective. Private Barry Moon, a raw country boy, and Brendan Barra, an older soldier, share a small forward trench, and they must bond to survive. They find themselves battling not only the enemy, for whom they have a sneaking admiration, but also themselves, and the military establishment. The mateship they develop is their uniquely Australian way to combat the dehumanizing effects of war by bonding laterally, thus revealing a pathway to the survival of the human spirit in the face of the horrors of war.
