Philip A. Troy



Philip Alexander Troy was born in New Orleans, Lousiana on March 12, 1988. As a young child, he was taken to Worms, Germany due to a Military Family. He returned to the United States several years later, in time to attend Elementary School in Spanaway, Washington at Shining Mountain Elementary School and at a Montessori School. His family, still being Military, later moved to Hampton, Virginia, where he finished his Elementary School education.

Two years later, he returned to Washington with his family to settle down permanently in Lakewood, Washington. he was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome before finishing Middle School and suffered through High School as a result of medication and misguided attempts to integrate him into what was considered at the time to be "mainstream society".

Upon his graduation in 2006, he attended a year and a half of studies at Pierce College's Fort Steilacoom campus before departing in favor of independent study. Between '06 and '09, Philip remained mostly silent, engrossed in studying astronomy and evolution, among other avenues of learning, before starting his first work - "Twice-Shadowed Saint" on January 24, 2010. He wrote it off and on, finally completing it on March 25, 2010. Since then, he has written sixty-eight other short stories, novels, one-shot concepts or novellas.

Sometime in August of 2011, Philip began closely working with a local musician and artist to produce hand-drawn illustrations for "Twice-Shadowed Saint" and many of his other works. These illustrations will be included in the final published release of "Twice-Shadowed Saint", which will hopefully be ready for publication by March or April of 2014. As well as working his current book, he continues to expand his universe's depth through ever-widening stories.
