He is most notable for the memoir 'He Died With A Felafel In His Hand' which has since been turned into a play, film and a graphic novel. The play was written and produced by thirty-six unemployed actors and went on to become the longest running stage play in Australian history.

Other works by him include 'The Search for Savage Henry', a crime novel featuring the character Harrison Biscuit, 'How To Be A Man', a semi-humorous guide to contemporary Australian masculinity and 'Off One's Tits', a collection of essays and articles previously published elsewhere.

In 2004 he published the alternate history 'Weapons of Choice', the first in the Axis of Time trilogy, a series of Tom Clancy-like techno-thrillers. In August 2005, the second book, 'Designated Targets' was published, followed by the third and final book, 'Final Impact', in early August 2006.
