Philip Francis Roy was born and raised in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. He grew up beside the ocean, and it now features in many of the stories he writes. His university studies included music and history, but he also knew from an early age that he wanted to write novels.

Submarine Outlaw, his first published novel, was the result of a lifelong fascination with submarines and a secret desire to build one. “If teens enjoy reading Submarine Outlaw half as much as I enjoyed writing it,” says Philip, “I will feel very rewarded indeed.”

Journey to Atlantis was the product of another dream — to work with myths and legends from the world’s great literature. Philip Roy is already working on the fifth book in the Submarine Outlaw series.
