His first book, Crossfire, was published in 1992 and he continues to publish. In 1998 he resigned from teaching[7] at Marist College Ashgrove and now writes full-time in a cabin in his backyard affectionately known by the family as 'Dad's Shed'.[8]

I like to get inside the head of today's adolescents to connect with the passion they have for like and understand what they care about. The challenge then is to express it in a story.[6]

His themes in his novels for older readers include family, love, belonging, body image, rites of passage,[9] sexism, mateship/friendship, winning at all costs,[10] relationships, identity, disability and racial issues.[11]
