R. Michael Phillips is a classically trained artist who has been painting for over 30 years. He has done numerous commissions, illustrations for national products and co-authored and illustrated a children's book. Through the years he has enjoyed a number of local commissions, including a portrait of William Penn for the Philadelphia Bicentennial Committee. In 1988 his work was accepted into the Third Annual International Exhibition of Miniature Art at the Metro Toronto Convention Center. This was his first acceptance into a juried competition and Michael continues to compete in both local and international competitions as his time allows.
Writing was always something he enjoyed doing, but never had the opportunity to pursue it seriously until now. By combining his creative talents with his passion for art and antiquities, he conceived the fictional world of the East London Adventurers Club. His first mystery,
“Along Came A Fifer…”, is the result of these efforts.
Michael lives in a historic community in southeastern Pennsylvania with his wife and son. He’s busy working on his next mystery in the East London Adventurers Club series, "Rook, Rhyme and Sinker", as he and his family continue to restore their Victorian home.
