He has produced several limited editions of his work in book form.  His interest in the history of the area has led him to produce several books, both factual and fiction, 'The Wreck of the Wilberforce' being available from Ilfracombe Museum. He has also worked with the Museum to digitise records from the North Devon Journal during the 1800's, extracts being available on the Museum site.
