Philip A. Troy

Born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1988, Philip Troy spent his entire life trying to become a writer despite a lack of faith and support from his peers and elders. He has always had a love of the written word, ever since he learned to read at the tender age of 2½. It was later discovered that he had Aspergers Syndrome, which was undoubtedly responsible for such a feat. Philip has written numerous stories as well as about 350 poems. One of these, titled “Left Behind”, earned him the Publisher’s Choice Award in 2005. He soon published his first book, “The World Beneath”, in June of 2007, and is currently working on the sequel, “The World Afar” and the conclusion to the trilogy, “The World Within”. Philip moved to Lakewood, Washington in 1999 where he lives with his family, and it is his greatest desire to continue writing the books he loves so much.
