Kevin was raised in the working-class suburb of Tempe in Sydney’s inner south-west. He has always had a love of writing people’s stories and has worked as an editorial officer and a Storyliner for Neighbours.

In 1985, after travelling around Australia as a young man, Kevin worked as an Editorial Officer with the NSW Department of Agriculture, before taking on a role as a story-liner for a new television series, ‘Neighbours’. From his work in this role, Kevin learned to appreciate the value of several concepts in writing a long running story-line. He recognised the role of accuracy and continuity so that each stage of a story would waterfall to the next with cohesion and without contradiction. He also learned the importance of developing depth of characters which viewers and readers would identify with and be intrigued by. 

Later, Kevin began a teaching career in the western suburbs of Sydney, whilst maintaining an interest in writing. He published Thundersong in 2020, and now Contempo Publishing have released Rabbit Town.

Shards of a Broken Boy, the true story of a survivor of institutionalised abuse suffered in NSW children’s homes, was published in July, 2025

The Baobab Tree was also published in 2025. It is a modern love story told against a distinctly Australian backdrop. The sequel, After the Baobabs, will be published later in 2026.

Now, Kevin lives on the mid-north coast of New South Wales with his wife and continues to write.
