About Me

People say I'm a multimedia artist (music, photography, video), writer and journalist. That's nice folks, thanks a lot for helping me because I really don't know how to describe myself. Actually, semi-retired language teacher would perhaps be more accurate.

I never really thought about turning pro...err...better say I used to when I was much younger, tried, failed, found a real job, and finally turned pro by some twist of fate.

I self-published very limited editions of my previous works and plan on releasing reissues through on-demand publishing services...someday...

I have lived and worked in UK, USA, Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan, and spent some time in Thailand, Singapore and The Philippines. I am currently living in Japan, near Kyoto.
