<b>James Philip</b> was born in London. He and his wife live in Hampshire in the heart of the south of England.<br/>Having despaired of ever getting his fiction published by main stream publishers he has embraced the e-publishing revolution with something akin to glee.<br/>Pleasantly surprised by the positive reception to the e-publication of Until the Night and several of his other books, since the beginning of 2015 he has become a full-ime writer for the first time in his life. He is currently working on a large number of new projects including regular additional instalments to his successful Timeline 10/27/62 series set in a World in which the Cuban Missiles Crisis 'went wrong' and the swinging sixties 'did not happen'.<br/>For many years a civil servant, since around 2000 James Philip has been at various times a freelance IT consultant, historian, researcher, technical author, copywriter and lately, a full-time e-publishing author with a steadily expanding readership.<br/>His books revolve around his fascination with character driven story telling. He believes there is no secret to persuading a reader to turn the page of a book; one simply has to make it worth his or her while. A good yarn is a good yarn in any generation and James Philip tries hard never to forget it.
