About

phyllis_a_still

Phyllis is an Award-Winning Author of a “heart-stirring” historical fiction series for teens and adults. But her spark to become a writer didn’t come into fruition until she discovered DAR Patriot, Mary Shirley McGuire, hiding in obscure family documents and never wanted her story lost again.

She believes that childhood memories of going barefooted and living many adventures through seven states stemmed her vivid imagination and raw creativity. Her experiences as a wife, mother, and grandmother help infuse her characters with real emotions and family dynamics.

Encouraging others to tell their stories is at the core of her writing. Future generations need inspiration to overcome struggles and carry out their dreams. She wants young adults to know they are never too young or insignificant to change the world.
