Phil is currently a builder who writes. 'Kill All Men' is his first published novel but the highlight of his career was a patio he laid last year, which you could literally play snooker on. Yes literally. He’s had many jobs - heavy metal drummer to whale poo collector; yachtsman to graphics lecturer – a public sector job that was the inspiration behind his book. Suddenly finding himself with three children, Phil is now planning a solo circumnavigation of the globe, a trip which he anticipates will take several years. In the meantime, for patios - call Phil for a competitive quote.
We've had a chat with this very funny author to discuss his epic novel, 'Kill All Men'. Join us now as we get inside his slightly twisted mind and find out what makes him tick.
Q: If you could make up your own genre for this book, what would it be?
A: Inverse Buddhism.
Q: Do you have a ritual you follow to write? If so, could you share it with us?
A: Not so much a ritual - more of a mantra. It goes like this: ‘Get off the computer because Daddy needs to write. No you can’t play bloody Snail Bob, you’ve been on it for over an hour and you’ve spilt milk all over the keyboard, now get off! No please don’t tell mummy I’ve made you cry, she’ll know I’m writing and will just tell me to mend the gate instead. Ok, ok you can stay on bloody Snail Bob! Can I borrow your crayons?’
