    • Author & Publisher of Novels
      Nov 2006 - Present · 19 yrs 9 mos

      Author of the science fiction / fantasy novels - 'Veterans of the Psychic Wars' and 'Kaya Abaniah and the Father of the Forest'. Selected quotations from these novels are currently being used internationally by bloggers, social commentators, motivational coaches and government agencies in the United Sates of America, the United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS), and the government of the Philippines. Kaya Abaniah and the Father of the Forest was academically reviewed in Supernatural Literature, a 3-volume encyclopaedia published by St. James Press covering the literature of the supernatural across the canon, including such notable works as Homer's Iliad, Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, and J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Editor Thomas Riggs noted that Kaya Abaniah and the Father of the Forest was the most recent work reviewed in Supernatural Literature, and reviewer Sean Hutchison credited me with rewriting the Soucouyant myth. In a Q&A session with New Statesman, author and poet Dr Benjamin Zephaniah cites The Kairi Chronicles: Kaya Abaniah and the Father of the Forest as the last book that changed his thinking.
