Philip James writes young adult supernatural mysteries with a love for atmosphere, emotion, and a touch of the uncanny. He is the creator of the Ink and Ash series, where small-town secrets, ancient forces, and unforgettable characters come together in stories that linger long after the final page.

His storytelling is inspired by coastal settings, quiet moments, and the idea that there is always more beneath the surface than we first see.

Philip believes books should feel like places you can step into—and never quite leave.
