Below the rim of heaven, we are all children of God regardless of religious order, denomination, or faith. We strive desperately to come to grips with our mortal existence, restoring order to the infinite complexity of our lives. My poetry takes you to a higher level of understanding where emotion, not intellect, defines the uncertain relationship with our creator. It transcends all international, cultural, social, and eternal boundaries. My message is one of hope where there is despair, love where there is reluctance, and joy to soothe your heart.

John Howard Reid is one of this country's greatest natural storytellers... Some critics have likened his works to those of Agatha Christie. I find the comparison a little unfair -- to Mr. Reid. If Reid's work needs comparing, I would liken it to Graham Greene's... Merryll Manning On the Rim of Heaven is one book you will find impossible to put down. - American critic, Richard Deutch, in The Sunday Telegraph. Compulsive reading... An engrossing thriller. -- John Hyde in The West Australian. Solidly real... Fast-moving dramatic action. -- Professor Stephen Knight in The Sydney Morning Herald. A well-constructed novel with a thrilling conclusion. -- Judith Green in Between the Covers. Particularly engrossing and easy to read... The author must be congratulated! -- Neil E. Lomas, editor, Warwick Daily News. Highly original... A worthy successor to Reid's earlier novels. The author shows the same lively imagination, yet gives his plot credibility. -- Leonard Ward in The Canberra Times.
