He is increasingly involved in collaborative ventures and keen to explore further initiatives.
''A proven exponent of short-short fiction; the texts deal with the fantastic nature of the ordinary imparting an exotic dream-like quality, often overlaid with myth and traditional story-telling narrative''. They're also very, very short.
