He has written and designed dozens of award-winning and best-selling games including The 7th Guest, Aladdin (with Robin Williams), Just Cause 1 & 2  and Pirates of the Caribbean.

His novels, spanning horror, suspense and mystery, have been published all around the world. His classic horror novel Beneath Still Waters was filmed by Lionsgate. His post-apocalyptic novel, Vacation, was a major release from St. Martin’s Press and is being developed as a film.

His short story, ‘The Last Vanish’ — featured in the just-released anthology Uncharted Worlds — was filmed by Tripp Avenue Productions. The film has been shown in over a dozen film festivals and was a finalist in the Dramatic Short Category at the Florida Film Festival. The hit mystery series, Cherringham, co-authored with Neil Richards, has sold over 500,000 copies and, with Neil Dudgeon (Midsomer Murders) reading, has become a hit on Audible. The mystery series has just been optioned for TV development.
