Canadian writer and editor living in Britain.

I moved to Tokyo shortly after graduating from university, and like so many, I worked as an English teacher first. After realising that it wasn't the life for me, I found work as a writer and editor for a Japanese publishing company, and, around the same time, became the arts editor for an English-language magazine. After fifteen years in Japan, my wife's more lucrative career took us to Hong Kong, where we lived in a tiny apartment on the side its vertiginous Peak, and I spent my mornings jogging up the impossible slope and gazing out over the bay to catch my breath. I started (and later finished) my master's degree in creative writing, and worked scripting monthly audio-dramas for the same Japanese company I worked at before.

Today, I live in London. I'm still finding my feet here — exploring Britain and the rest of Europe, and writing furiously.

I have a speculative-fiction novel in its final edits, plenty of published and unpublished short stories, a handful of poetry awards, and a play that had a small but successful community production in 2023. I love the stage, contemporary art, not-so-contemporary art, photography, science fiction, literature, architecture, social sciences and history. Don't tell my high-school history teacher about that last one. He'd never believe you.
