A software engineer by trade, he graduated from Macquarie University in Sydney with an Honors Degree in Computer Science and immediately entered the world of financial systems. When not writing fiction, he is a senior programmer in a business solutions company based in Sydney, Australia.
Raised on an early diet of science-fiction works from greats such as Harlan Ellison, Roger Zelanzy, Michael Morcook, and Clifford D. Simak, he graduated to modern science fiction works by Iain M. Banks, and Peter F. Hamilton.
However, it was his introduction to the style of the Japanese light-novel, and works by writers such as Shoji Gatoh, that inspired him to take pen to paper, fingers to keyboard, and begin writing soft science-fiction that focused more on character interplay rather than the hard science.
Made the decision to write for the young adult market after receiving surprisingly positive critiques from members of the teenage demographic for a couple of unpublished works.
The first novel in the Pride series, "Pride X Familiar", was written with the intention of delivering a light-novel for young adult western readers.
An avid fan of Japanese anime, manga and culture, he is also a student of the Japanese language at beginner level.
Credits Seo Kouji's manga "Suzuka" as part of his inspiration for writing.
With the completion of "Pride X Familiar", he is currently busy at work on the sequel, "Pride X Meister" with a tentative October 2014 release date.ver menos
