TWO BOYS, BATTERED BY DRUNK FATHERS – ONE BECOMES A SERIAL KILLER, THE OTHER HIS PREY … AND HIS NEMESIS
A STORY OF SECRETS AND THE QUEST FOR REDEMPTION
"Redemption is born of guilt, and weighs heavy on even the strongest man." – Stephen King
Set in the small, isolated community of Blackwater… Blackwater Moon is a story of secrets and the quest for redemption. Spanning the lives of two people, the victim and the perpetrator… Blackwater Moon explores the consequences of living with a past shaped by life's tragedies and how a single shared incident shapes their lives forever.
Andy Walker, son, lover, and an ex-soldier, knows tragedy is only ever a heartbeat away.
When an inmate escapes from the prison farm upriver and abducts Nathan, a child Andy has vowed to protect after losing his own son years before, Walker draws on his inner soldier to deliver Nathan from harm, discovering that the escapee is a dark figure from his past, the devil who changed his life, the man who introduced him as a child to 'The Game'.
The story ends as it began, with the same two people on the banks of Blackwater's river – only this time Walker has a gun and a choice to make. And so in the end, Blackwater may keep just one more secret…

B. Michael Radburn is a self-professed bloke from the "wrong side of the tracks", whose fall into writing offered an escape from the fatal attraction of drugs and alcohol. Wonderful high school teachers made him realise that writing, when shared, offered faith in one's self. Writing from his farm in the hauntingly beautiful Southern Highlands of NSW, his work reflects both natural and supernatural environs. Described as "Ian Rankin meets Stephen King", Radburn is the author of three full-length novels: The Crossing, Blackwater Moon and The Falls. Radburn loves his family, jamming out the blues and his motorcycle! He also loves giving back and inspiring others from all walk of life – his Harley Davidson chapter (Sydney HOG) works with Father Chris Riley's Youth off the Streets program. Radburn uses these opportunities to talk to youth living rough in Sydney – offering reading and writing as "therapy" and sharing his own teenage experiences.
