<p>Phil Gilvin lives with his wife in Swindon, UK, nestling in the rolling downland of Wiltshire amid neolithic barrows, ancient droveways and stone circles – and the M4 motorway. When his children grew too old to have stories read to them he turned to writing, going to lots of workshops and winning a number of short story prizes. His short stories have regularly been shortlisted in magazine competitions and have featured in local anthologies.  <em>Truth Sister</em> is his first published novel (his first two, unpublished, got consigned to the “that’s how you learn” pile). Phil is a retired physicist, and he now enjoys walking in aforesaid downland as well as listening to classical music and prog rock, and murdering folk songs.</p>
