Fascinated by the horror genre from a very early age, Stewart sold his first short story, 'The Last Passenger', to Eve Magazine in 1988 and later several others to Style Magazine. Apart from the occasional travel article he has also worked for an electronics trade magazine and was the English editor of the Sport Divers' Journal, a bilingual magazine aimed at scuba divers throughout Asia. (He is a PADI Assistant Instructor.) In 1994, in partnership with Rebecca Bradley, he set up Hong Kong Horrors Publishing in order to publish his novel, The Sorceress and a novella, The Isle of the Rat, both stories are set in Hong Kong.

Stewart lives in Hong Kong with his wife Quirina and sons, James and Richard where he works in the security industry.

Most of his free time is taken up with writing and he is currently working on his next novel which is also set in Hong Kong. When he is not writing he likes scuba diving, because, as he says, underwater, you can't hear anybody whinge.
