“With Reef Dance and Bluebird Rising, DeCure has wrought a pair of page-turners that’ll dazzle you with flair, wit, and a whole bunch of wave-riding grace.” Allan C. Weisbecker, author of In Search of Captain Zero and Cosmic Banditos.

“Tough, smart, and funny....” Kirkus Reviews (on Bluebird Rising)

“DeCure is becoming increasingly adept at switching from the courtroom to the beach. J.’s distinctive narrative voice is the highlight here, as are the crisply described surfing scenes.” Booklist  (on Bluebird Rising)

“In this, his second engaging outing, the skillfully drawn supporting characters make Shepard a series hero to watch.” Publishers Weekly  (on Bluebird Rising)

 "I think Reef Dance signals the start of a fine writing career for John DeCure. It mesmerizes with the details of life in the trenches-in the courtroom and on the surfboard. It takes an insider's knowledge of both places to build the kind of characters that populate this novel. It's a winner. So is DeCure."
  Michael Connelly, author of A Darkness More Than Night and Void Moon

"John DeCure writes brilliantly about the lure of the ocean after a landlocked day. He also happens to be a gracious, gifted, and entertaining novelist."
  Joy Nicholson, author of The Tribes of Palos Verdes

"A good story well told by a promising newcomer."
  Kirkus Reviews (on Reef Dance)
