He writes neo-noir rooted in character and enjoys blending these sensibilities into other genres, particularly drama, thriller and horror. His debut novel, Nobody Move, won Best First Novel in the CWC Awards for Excellence in Canadian Crime Writing, and follow-up Porno Valley is a Shamus Awards finalist. As a teenager fueled by the fires of rebellion, Philip played drums in bad punk bands. Based in Vancouver, BC.
