Profile Information:

About Me:: I’m the creator of the East London Adventurers Club mystery series and a classically trained artist. I've been painting for over 30 years, having done numerous commissions, illustrations for national products and co-authored and illustrated a children's book. Writing was always something I enjoyed doing, but never had the opportunity to pursue seriously until recently. By combining my creative talents with a passion for art and antiquities, I conceived the fictional world of the East London Adventurers Club.

I just got a review from the Sentinel on "Along Came A Fifer"-

Phillips, a Pennsylvania resident, does a fine job with his first mystery novel. The characters are relatable and dynamic. The novel has everything a mystery needs — humor, deception, unrequited love and, well, a good old-fashioned mystery.

I often wonder what psychological need causes people to both read such violence or write it. There are so many who partake of such entertainment that I'm sure I must be in the minority.
