In 2010 he received the de Rohan Scholarship,[4] enabling him to study for an MA in creative writing at Oxford Brookes University.

A short, sharp satire on the war on terror, author Ben Myers described Real Monsters as "a memorable and moving portrait of the futility of 21st century conflict".[6] His second novel Wild Life, "a compelling, chilling investigation into the dark instincts of masculinity",[7] was published in 2016.
