Lime, Lemon and Sarsaparilla is a wonderful evocation of Italian life in south Wales from the turn of the century to the post-war years, when the Italian cafe was central to the social life of many small communities in the valleys and follows the fortunes of Italian families such as Rabaiotti, Berni, Bracchi, Conti, Fulgoni, Sidoli and many others.
Stowaway is a richly imagined poetic journey revolving around the nameless anti-Ulysses figure at its centre.

Gen is a book of lions and rock stars, day trips and servants, postmen and voices.
