Phyl Cursing my insomnia Posted at 1:59 AM Dec 1 view more
My name is Phyl Wright and I have written two novels to date, both published by the publisher Kennedy & Boyd.
I have three passions in life (apart from my family and friends) and these are Literature, Music and Art. Literature has always seemed to me to the gateway to other worlds and it remains my first love. Music and Art are favourite indulgences which feed the soul and illuminate the days.
I've always been intrigued by the idea of reinvention - how people reinvent themselves, change their lives, sometimes through choice, sometimes through circumstance. Can people start a whole new life at any age? This is what I've tried to write about in my first book, NOBODY I KNOW
Read all about the book at http://www.kennedyandboyd.co.uk/biblio/1904999875.htm
Nobody I Know has been rated five stars by readers on Amazon. A typical review:-
"I absolutely loved this book from beginning to end. Very well written there was not one part of it I disliked. I know lots of other people who have also purchased and love the novel and the best thing about that was having someone to share it with because it is that kind of story. I found myself talking about the characters as though I personally knew them - absolutely fantastic. I felt I could relate to several episodes throughout and the whole storyline had me wondering what was going to happen next."
Book cover below:-
The sequel to Nobody I Know, called SOMEBODY MAYBE is available now. This novel deals with the consequences of reinvention for some of the characters from the first book. What do you do when your life has changed and your attitudes with it? Like the previous book, it has some romance (because everybody needs a bit of that in their lives), and a mystery running alongside the central theme

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; It dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing. (Anais Nin)

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
