About me:
I am Phil. What you see is what you get.
I am 40 years old. I useD to be a lawyer, and I also useD to be a middle school teacher in the New York City Public Schools. Now I write books for kids and teens. I get to travel around the country in order to visit schools and talk to students about my books. How lucky can one person be?
So I write books for kids and teens. My first book, "Shoeless Joe and Black Betsy," won the Texas Bluebonnet Award, and that one award opened up a world of opportunities. I've written three other picture books, "Twenty One Elephants," "The Shot Heard 'Round the World," and "The Greatest Game Ever Played." That last title came out just a few months back. As did my first teen novel, "Playing the Field." Boy did that book piss the reviewers off! But (most) teen readers loved it, and for me, that's all that mattered.
But my big project, my project of a lifetime, launched on February 27, 2007. It's a collaborative effort with #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator, Loren Long. Check out my blogs to learn more about it (as well as the separate Myspace Page which you can link to from my "Top Friends or from this link:"

I live in Brooklyn, New York in a kick-ass loft in Clinton Hill. Before Brooklyn, I lived in Manhattan for over a decade, mostly in the West Village. And before that, I grew up on Long Island (but I like to keep that on the dl).
I mos def like to have a good time. I'm incredibly active. I'm a gym-junkie. I like to go running. I snowboard (though I admit I suck), I play tennis and softball. I useD to play hoops 24/7, but unfortunately, the legs don't allow me to do the things I was once able to do.
I live with my boyfriend of ten years. He likes to have almost as much fun as I do. Like me, he's a big kid. I've never met anyone so genuine and so real in my entire life. He has the kindest heart and the most gentle soul. He's beautiful, expressive and a freakin' riot. Welcome to my world!

I like Busted, and a year after reading it, Andre and Shane still stand out.
Look forward to checking out your other books.
