Although educated in Classical Studies, Phil is the author of several historical crime novels. Having spent many years living in the Mafia infested hinterlands of Naples, Phil bases his novels on his experiences while living there. Much of what he includes in his stories is based on real events witnessed first hand.

Having retired from writing and editing technical documentation for a living, Phil returned to his Irish roots and now lives in Wexford with his partner and their border terriers, Ruby, Maisy, and the new addition Ted. He writes full time and where better to do it than in the Sunny South East of Ireland.

Phil Hughes Phil Hughes said: " Highly recommended

I loved it. Would recommend anyone into Celtic mythology to have a go. The author has obviously drawn much of his material from Celtic myths and done it very well.
