His debut book, Tales From Badgers Crossing - a collection of linked short stories - was released in the spring of 2022 by Greenteeth Press. He has written nonfiction for numerous websites and magazines including Film Stories, Den of Geek, Folklore Thursday, Horrified, Haunted Generation and Ginger Nuts of Horror.
