His work has appeared in journals including Eidolon, Aurealis and Andromeda Spaceways In-Flight Magazine, and also in many highly acclaimed local anthologies, such as Agog Press' Daikaiju, Ticonderoga Publications’ Dead Red Heart and Brimstone Press’ Macabre. He has also had stories in prestigious international anthologies, including Morrigan Books' Grants Pass and Scenes from the Second Storey and Apex Books’ Close Encounters of the Urban Kind.
