When you’re reading a fantasy series, what do you enjoy most about returning to the next instalment? - Revisiting familiar characters? - Discovering new places? - Seeing the stakes rise? - Or something else? For me, it’s all about places and faces. What about you? #ReaderQuestion #FantasyReaders

Did you know that my debut fantasy novel Haven Wakes is 7 years old today? Where did the time go? #HavenWakes #FantasyReads #BookBirthday
I’m deep into editing book four of the Haven Chronicles right now. This is the stage where I wrestle the story into submission and put it on the (hopefully) final track to publication. Wish me luck. #AmWritingFantasy #Editing #AuthorLife
September has felt like a new beginning with news from my publisher about book four of the Haven Chronicles. One small moment of joy this month? Spending a week in Hafan y Mor with my family and the dog. It was a wonderful opportunity for us all to just be. How was your September? #LifeOfFi

As an author, the development of AI has always been a concern. To be fair, as a human operating online, that concern has always niggled at me. 1/2 #AI #Author #WeAreBetterThanThis

In the Haven Chronicles, magic is tightly sewn to the caster’s physical form. Using magic is like using any muscle. Find out more about the magic system in the Haven Chronicles here: fiphillipswriter.com/2020/04/23/5... #HavenChronicles #FantasySeries #MagicSystem #BookSky
August has been a month of waiting on one story and disappearing into another. While Book 4 is with my publisher, I've been writing my folklore fantasy novel. One small moment of joy this month? A couple of days in Brugge for my belated birthday celebration. How has your August been? #LifeOfFi

Having checked over my plan for book 5 of the Haven Chronicles while I wait for feedback on book 4, I’m determined not to waste this in between time. So I’m making good progress on my folklore fantasy novel. 8 chapters written, more to come this month. #AmWritingFantasy #WritingProgress

July has been a month of familiar roads and new writerly paths too. I've continued exploring the world of the Haven Chronicles by reading over the plan for the final book in the series, but I've also been working on a completely new project. #MonthEndReflection #FantasyWriter #LifeOfFi 1/2
I’ve been full-on folklore fiction for the past few weeks. I’ve just finished reading Crow Moon by Suzy Aspley. It’s one of those stories that creeps up on you. I did guess who the guilty party was long before the end but that didn't detract from my enjoyment of this read. #FolkloreFiction 1/2
Starting this November, I'll have 4 books coming out with Boldwood Books! 'A Healer's Guide to Adventuring' is a book I'm incredibly proud of. It's a fantasy adventure story with kindness and growth at its centre - therapy meets D&D. Much thanks to my super agent Laura Bennett :)
After spending years in the world of the Haven Chronicles, this year I started work on something completely new. It's early days but I’m enjoying this walk down an unfamiliar path and discovering the story alongside the main character. #AmWritingFantasy #WorkInProgress #WriterLife

One of the kindest things a reader can do for an author is leave a review. Whether it's a few lines on Goodreads, Amazon, or elsewhere, reviews help readers discover books they might otherwise miss. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to review the Haven Chronicles. #BookReview #Fantasy

I write fantasy because I love stories where ordinary people discover there is far more to the world than they ever imagined. Just in case you're curious, Haven Wakes is where the journey begins. #AmWritingFantasy #FantasyBooks #HavenChronicles #BookSky
June has been a quieter, steadier month. A mix of reading, working on a new novel, and waiting for news on Book Four. What I’m carrying into July is the daily routine of writing. I’ve built up a momentum over the last few months that feels comfortable now. 1 of 2 #MonthEndReflection #AuthorLife
