    Update On Book Publication

    October 6, 2026 /

    After some frustrating delays I am delighted to say that my debut novel is now available in all forms….paperback, ebook and kindle. I have copies here too if anyone in the UK would like to order direct (I’d even sign it 😁). A big thank you to all who have bought and in advance for those who are going to. I hope it’s a good read.

    Debut Novel

    September 9, 2026 /

    We are very excited to announce that Phil’s debut novel The Last Waiting Room has now been published. Unfortunately due to a hitch with publishers you won’t be able to order online (paperback or ebook) for a few weeks yet. However we do have some paperback copies available for purchase.  For those of you in the UK who might wish to buy, you can order one of these by transferring to us the retail price of £10.99 and we’ll send you a copy as soon as we return to England on 1st October. Alternatively you can of course wait until it appears on Amazon etc. Thank you 🙏
