Since I began working as a freelance writer and photographer in 1981, my work has been published in international newspapers and magazines including National Geographic. I’ve written hundreds of articles, newsletters, press releases, advertising and marketing content for print and virtual media, speeches, an online encyclopaedia for the Vanuatu government several short stories—fiction and non-fiction—and eight novels including five based on the television series Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. Between 1980-2000 I developed and managed the largest tourism company in Vanuatu, and in the 1990s was contracted by the European Regional Tourism Development Programme to develop and market regional ecotourism projects.
