Online, his stories Flexigation and Half A Life have appeared in  The Richmond Review (U.K.), New York Movie  and Scale Model in Linnaean Street,, The Sound of White Ants and Disappearing in Frigg, The Decay in The

Paumanok Review , Family Tree on Christopher Kenworthy's site, and The Space Between the Walls in Literary Potpourri. Black On White  can currently be found in Issue 20 of The Paumanok Review. Stories have also appeared in  Painted Moon Review

His novel based on the life of Jan Vermeer, The Dance of Geometry, was published in March 2002 by The Toby Press. It was praised by David Hockney and was nominated by the British Fantasy Society in the Best Novel category. It also received favourable reviews in Time Out and London Magazine, and Infinity Plus. It is available at Amazon and at other online booksites.

Brian's novella, The Study of Sleep, is now available in PDF format from Wind River Press. Like his novel, it mines similar territory to that of White Ants, painting a landscape in which art, fantasy, and reality intermingle until the accepted borders of the psyche are blurred and the reader is left questioning where one border ends and another begins. 

Brian is currently working on his fourth novel, a prequel to The Dance of Geometry, which forms part of a loosely-linked trilogy of novels featuring Dutch artists of the seventeenth century and their experiments with optical devices.
