One of his stories received an Honorable Mention (sic) in the tenth annual edition of the international publication Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, and another in the thirteenth annual edition. Others have been successful in the 1998 Department for Education Cancer Research Campaign competition (First Prize) and the Camberley Writers' Circle 1998 Competition (Highly Commended), as well as in the 1997, 1998 and 2001 Lewis Wright Competitions and the 1996 Redcar Writers' Competition. One of his stories and two of his poems were short-listed in Writers’ News competitions. He has written articles on popular culture for a local magazine, and has had literary essays and book reviews published in The Journal of the Lewis Carroll Society and The Baum Bugle (Journal of the International Wizard of Oz Club). He wrote an article on Dickens for the Urban Fox Press book The Medway Scene and has four short stories in their sequel New Art From North Kent as well as two stories and two poems in their later The Arts In Medway; Urban Fox also published a single-author anthology of sixteen of his short stories under the title Where Do They All Belong? He has a story in the anthology Making Changes published by Bridge House Press. His latest book is the non-fiction From Chaucer to Childish: Writers and Artists in the Medway Towns, which was published by Medway Delta Press. Currently, he is seeking a publisher for his first (fantasy) novel and is working on his second; he has collaborated on an SF novel with a friend, for which they are also seeking a publisher.
