As of January, 2009, I currently have a few major projects 'on the boil'.
My main project at this time is a PhD Writing thesis about 'The Role of the Outsider in Storytelling' and how that impacts on the clash of civilizations between Islam and Christianity. I am in the write up period of this and hope to submit for the viva in July, 2009.
When I have the extra time, I am also working on a second draft of a screenplay that I wrote for my MA Writing at Swinburne University, Melbourne, Australia which has been registered with the Australian Writers' Guild.
I also, occasionally contribute content to websites and most recently, I published two articles in a lifestyle magazine called Absolute Thai– http://www.absolutethai.com I am now writing a regular column in the Learning Post section of The Bangkok Post - http://www.bangkokpost.com/Learningpost/ along with other publications such as The Guardian Weekly and EL Gazette.
Finally, having finished and submitted my non fiction book, 'Watching the Thais: From the outside Looking in', I am also continuing to develop a collection of short stories set in and around Thailand which explore both my own and the farang (expat) experience in general. I am not sure when this will be finished but am aiming for around the end of 2009.
I am available for writing assignments - commissions, editing, proofreading, and general assignments. My rates are reasonable and always negotiable.
Interests: I like the usual array of things: reading & writing (of course), socialising, sports. I also like to deconstruct movies, that is, take them apart bit by bit, like a watchmaker to see what makes them tick (all puns intended!)
