John Singe first arrived at Thursday Island in 1970. Peopled by many wild and wonderful characters, this tropical paradise proved to be no place for the faint-hearted. As a diver, John Singe survived shark attack and frequently faced the Strait's unpredictable moods when sailing the waters from Cape York to Papua New Guinea. Hunting and fishing expeditions also provided him with an unexpected education.As well as charting one man's Indiana Jones-like adventures, this entertaining book voyages across contemporary Islander cultures and lifestyles. Much more than a travel saga, My Island Home traces the rewarding journey of its author who continues to be drawn irresistibly to the gregarious people and unlimited horizons of Torres Strait.

DESCRIPTION OF BOOK Beverly E. Dyer-Groves, a native of Jamaica West Indies brings her first book of poems into print after living on the island for over thirty years and residing in America for the past nineteen years. Her learning experiences and love of writing have inspired her to express her thoughts and feelings through poetry. My Island, the Land of Sunshine consists of poems written in various figurative expressions that will appeal to its readers as they read for fun, information and insight. These poems are written for readers of all ages. Some of them express love, things of nature and nostalgia. My Island, the Land of Sunshine is Jamaica—one of the islands in the Caribbean Sea. It is ranked as one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world. Relaxing moments on the white sandy beaches of the island’s north coast have attracted thousands of visitors all year round. This tropical island entices one to visit—for excitement, relaxation and peace of mind. By contrast, America, especially the Midwest, entices tourists with its dramatic climate changes. Dyer-Groves has captured this dichotomy in her writing.

The story behind 'My Island Home' is that it was written by a white man for a black man and the black man sang it like it was his own. That doesn't sound like much but in the context of Australian history it represents the crossing of a mighty gulf. Aboriginal people sing 'My Island Home' like it's theirs. White people sing it like it's theirs. People in Australia who have come from other countries, other cultures, sing 'My Island Home' like it's theirs. That's what makes it such a great song.

When Thea Dari-Jones takes the job as officer in charge of the Thursday Island police station in Torres Strait, she has no idea that her desire to start anew and return to her mother’s islander roots will be the greatest challenge of her life. Arriving with visions of enjoying a relaxed, idyllic island lifestyle, what she finds instead is a close-knit community divided by a brutal crime and an unexpected relationship with an islander fisherman that brings her closer to her own heritage. As Thea investigates the murder, a series of surprising events lead her through the landscape and language of the locals, most of whom are convinced that maydh, or black magic, is the source of the unsolved mystery on the island.
