Phil Riggs
I have been writing books since 2017. When I completed
2500 km, hiking the Camino De Santiago on 5 different occasions, I wrote a book about my experiences. I called the book Hiking the Spanish, Portuguese and French Caminos - A Soulful Journey. Then I wrote a biography of my father entitled Teacher, Hunter, Fisher, Musician A 101 Years in the Life of Clarence Riggs. My third novel was Our Random Acts of Kindness.

She tried several unique remedies to try and get it back. This book was called The Little Heartbroken Angel. My latest children's book is ent

Wog in a Fish Shop – a true-to-life, nostalgic, and often funny look at my childhood in a family-run fish and chip shop during the 1960s. Framed around some of the era’s biggest world events — from the Cuban Missile Crisis and the moon landing to the demise of the Ford motor car and the wild chaos of cracker night — it's a story for anyone who's balanced two cultures while history unfolded around them.

The World According to Garp was perhaps the first sign to a troubled young man that his life might very well be okay. It was incredibly reassuring to see that a young man from such a deeply interesting background can find his niche in life. G. Russell Gaynor was not nearly as challenged as T. S. Garp but until the revelation of the character, relatively speaking Russell was the weirdest kid on his block. His father, a career United States Navy man, taught him how to stand up to face the most challenging aspects of life including the unknown. His mother, a nurse and a technician for the U.S Geological Survey, taught him how to love and how to understand.

I've always written stories. I started out as a kid creating monster stories with a $5 typewriter from the early 1900's. Now I write novels: speculative fiction (SpecFic), crime fiction, or contemporary fiction according to whatever ideas occur to me. I live in Christchurch, New Zealand, about as far away from anywhere as it is possible to be. Earthquakes devastated the city in 2010 and 2011. They appear in my books. I've got a degree that I've never used and two diplomas, one in Hypnotherapy and the other in a subject I don't mention to anyone, as it was so long ago. I read widely: particularly SpecFic, YA, contemporary and non-fiction. My favourite author is Connie Willis, but I mostly read indie authors nowadays. I also enjoy copy-editin
