Roy, Philip

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.
Travelling far and wide, Roy continues to weave tales of adventure, history, geography and cultural diversity. Commenting on his Submarine Outlaw series, Philip says, “These are the stories I wished I could have read when I was young. It is such a joy to write them now and share them with readers young and old.” When not travelling, Philip divides his time between Nova Scotia and Ontario.
