In 2008 he published a discussion paper about Northern Ireland's peace walls. He and his wife Lesley run management consultancy specialising in "conflict transformation and managing change".[12][13]

His fourth memoir ‘Little House on the Peace Line’ (2017) tells the story of how he lived and worked on the peace line in North Belfast in the 1980s.

His first book, Paperboy, has been adapted for the stage as a musical commissioned by Youth Music Theatre UK, adapted by writer and stand up comedian Andrew Doyle with music by platinum selling artist Duke Special. The premiere production is 26–29 July in the Lyric Theatre in Belfast.[14][15]
