An avid birder and lister since 1995, I've also surveyed species in various habitats for the RSPB, BTO, WWT, etc. A defunct birding blog marked my other interest in writing and has spawned these few books, one chronicling a 2008/9 road trip through Australasia and another my years in California. The roster includes novels, one being a sort of coming-of-age set in the 1960s and 70s and one, speculative fiction about bird flu. There's also a volume of short stories. My writing includes contributions to a few short films, for which I've even been crew and actor!
