He rediscovered his love of writing when he created a book for his own two boys afterwatching them spending endless hours exploring in the garden, talking to creatures and catching bugs. His debut book, The Garden Monster, was released in 2022, published by Little Steps. He's very excited to be publishing his next book, Kodi and the Mystery of Komodo Island, with New Frontier Publishing, which is due for release in 2024.
