Dit auteurs schrijfcarrière begon met zakelijke artikelen en columns, die zowel fictie als non-fictie bestrijken voor een periode die hij zich nauwelijks kan herinneren. De belangrijkste drijfveer om te schrijven komt voort uit puur plezier in het schrijven zelf, waarbij de betrokkenheid van lezers dient als een belangrijke aanmoediging om door te gaan met creëren. De huidige focus omvat detectiveverhalen met inspecteur Walter Darriteau en verhalen over het rokkenjagerspersonage Gringo Greene, hoewel er doorgaans meerdere projecten tegelijkertijd in uitvoering zijn.
