Before this, he lived in the Far East and then worked in the UK film business. His debut novel, THE CANNIBAL SPIRIT (Penguin Canada) was reviewed as ‘powerful, brave, ambitious’ (The Globe and Mail), ‘a thriller with a Joseph Conradian plot’ (The Walrus), ‘a unique work, compelling, complex, thought-provoking and impressive’ (Quill and Quire).

“A gripping, page-turning eco-thriller, part oil rig drama and part survival story. The worlds of the oil industry and the Arctic are convincingly rendered.” -- Kevan Manwaring, author/editor of Writing Eco-Fiction and Heavy Weather
