Author has written 85 stories for Thriller, Life, General, Horror, Supernatural, Love, General, Spiritual, Romance, Biography, Fantasy, and Humor.

May 2011: So I've not been on here in MONTHS - thought I'd update the page a little with some of my more recent work.

"Belonging", "English Rose" and "A Senseless Crime" all celebrate suburban perversion to some extent. "Miracle Cures", "The Imaginary Café" and "Poppet" are all 21st Century fairy tales.

I can now be found on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Philip_Ellis and Blogger: http://philipthewriter.blogspot.com
