y separately published work icon Big Sky Town 2008 Melbourne : Full Dress Publishing , 2009 Z1570827 2008 single work drama young adult 'The space shuttle Genesis blasted into the sky, bound for great adventure and new frontiers. With it went the hopes and dreams of an entire nation. Then it crashed in a forest full of Boy Scouts. An astronaut is missing, the Secret Police are on their way and keeping the whole story quiet is proving to be one big headache. This is not the way it should have been. Where are the heroes? As disturbing as it is funny, Big Sky Town blends absurdity, wit and pathos in a tale of human behaviour at its most vulnerable and grotesque.'
