Over the years his articles with images have been published in various national and international prints, including BBC Wildlife Magazine, Landrover Owner International and Travel Africa.

He runs a wildlife rehab' and release sanctuary in tropical forests far from civilization, though soon to retire from this very exhausting and sticky lifestyle.

The fictional characters he writes about come from flirtations with reality and personal experience, churning romance or love always a major element in the story, whether a psychological thriller or science fiction.
