About

Philip Brown writes young adult fantasy novels with real-world grit. He is the author of a young adult contemporary fantasy series and two astrology books.

Book One in the fantasy series, Light Runner (published by Strange Fictions Press), tells the story of sixteen year-old Dara. Grieving the sudden loss of her mother, Dara finds an armband that can heal wounds. Light Runner has been hailed as an “intense, plot-based read” and a “great read . . . very original–not your everyday fantasy book.”

Book 2, Light Guardian, was published in January, 2021.

Cosmic Trends: Astrology Connects the Dots (a finalist for the Coalition of Visionary Resources award) was published by Llewellyn Worldwide in 2006. The author has also written for Dell Horoscope and The Mountain Astrologer.

Philip lives in Southern California with his beautiful Pisces wife and two cats, Chrissie and Stevie. They (Phil and his wife, not the cats) are passionate fans of live music, frequently enjoying artists old and new at small local clubs, music festivals, and big concert venues (when it’s safe to return).

Philip is a member of the International Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.
