Philip Roy lives in Ontario with his family. Whenever possible, he visits the places he writes about in the SUBMARINE OUTLAW series. From 1999 to 2001, he lived on the island of Saipan, which features in GHOSTS OF THE PACIFIC. Recently, he travelled to India to research the fifth book in the series, OUTLAW IN INDIA, and to South Africa for book six, SEAS OF SOUTH AFRICA. Book seven, ECO WARRIOR, is set in Australia, which he has also recently visited. The eighth book in the SUBMARINE OUTLAW series, STEALTH OF THE NINJA, will be set in Japan, and is due out in the spring of 2016. Travelling makes for great adventure, Philip contends. The only thing better is writing about it and visiting schools to share the stories and research with young readers. Along with the SUBMARINE OUTLAW series, Philip is also the author of two children's/YA historical novels, Blood Brothers in Louisbourg and Me & Mr. Bell. He has also recently published MOUSE TALES and JELLYBEAN MOUSE, his first two children's picture books in the HAPPY THE POCKET MOUSE series. MOUSE PET, his third book in the series, will be published in the fall of 2015.
