Phillip R. Evans is a follower of Jesus. He enjoys writing fantasy fiction adventures. His imagination brings his characters to life in his books. He grew up in Ohio, where he and his wife live. The inspiration for Thaddeus Grant Island Of Reconciliation came when a friend and Minister Philip D. Bliss suggested he publish writings he had sent to him. Giving it thought and prayer, he began writing. Three weeks later, the fictional Island Of Reconciliation's first draft came to life.

His desire in the books he authors is to always point back to Jesus.
