He has now returned to his roots, where he lives in a converted farmhouse. He devotes his time to fiction. His first novel, Paradise Girl, is set on the northern hills where, amidst the majestic beauty of the rolling moors, a lone young woman faces a bleak future. Phill's second novel, Aftershocks, is a companion to Paradise Girl and is scheduled for publication in January 2019. His third novel, The God Jar, is a tale of magic and intrigue which straddles 16th century Europe and 20th century England. When Phill is not writing, he enjoys reading, walking, music and theatre.
