My name is Philip Dodd. I was born in 1952, live in Liverpool, England, have a degree in English literature from Newcastle University, and I have been writing songs, stories and poems since I was twelve. My first book, Angel War, was published by Fast Print Publishing on Tuesday, 23rd, April, 2013. It was inspired by Chapter Twelve of the Book of Revelation, which speaks of the war in heaven, fought between Michael and his angels and the dragon and his angels. The Bible only says that the war happened, but not why, so I decided to write my own version of the events of the war and its aftermath. As it took me twenty six years to write, I felt I owed it to my story to get it published.
  My book has its own page on the Fast Print Publishing online bookshop at www.fast-print.net and on Amazon, the New Book Journal at http://newbookjournal.com/2013/05/angel-war-by-philip-dodd/ and on Pinterest. I am very happy to be a Goodreads Author with my own page for my book on Goodreads, a website I recommend to all authors and readers. I post my poems on my blog: http://astro7747.wordpress.com
  My poem, Searching For The Sangreal, was published in the Summer 2013 issue and my poem, The Fair Majesty of Folk at Peace was published in the Spring 2014 issue of The Dawntreader,  a quarterly poetry magazine, published by Indigo Dreams Publishing.
  One day, I plan to publish my light hearted science fiction story for older children and adults, called Klubbe the Turkle and the Golden Star Coracle.
  As far as literature is concerned, I love the works of John Milton, William Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Charles Dickens, Emily Bronte, Joseph Conrad, Thomas Hardy, Virginia Woolf, John Keats, T.S. Eliot, J.R.R. Tolkien, Mervyn  Peake, Jules Verne, Alexandre Dumas, Homer and H.G. Wells.
