He was first published (in print) in Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure. In 2012 he published his short story Pawsgaard, prequel to his upcoming novel, "Hester and the Kookaburra King".

When he's not writing or coding, he serenades his wife with his ukulele; or tries to keep up while she schools him in Halo.
