Through 2016-2024 my next project is a trilogy, titled 1882 which deals with the concept of re-incarnation. My career as a Novelist/Poet spans many decades and dates back to 1974 when my work was featured overseas in leading magazines and newspapers. My published work is listed in the National Archives of New Zealand in areas as diverse as Technology Education, Computers, Letters and Science. I am of British and Indian descent and much of my work reflects this cross-cultural view as an Anglo-Indian.
