About Me

Phyllis is an Award-Winning Author of the “heart-stirring” Dangerous Loyalties Series, enjoyed by those who love stories about strong characters who lived during the days of the  American Revolutionary War. But these books are twisty, and the plots incorporate events that took place in the western territories of Virginia, which today are known as West Virginia and Kentucky. Phyllis  was inspired to write an imagery version of her DAR Patriot, Mary Shirley McGuire.

Phyllis discovered Mary’s secrets in a box of documents and never wanted her story lost again. It was this inciting incident that launched her into the adventure of writing and then bravely releasing her words into the universe.

Childhood adventures through seven states developed her vivid imagination and creative storytelling abilities. Her experiences as a wife, mother, and grandmother through the years made the incorporation of actual emotions and family dynamics a simple task.

She encourages others to write and tell their stories. Future generations need inspiration to overcome struggles and carry out their dreams. She believes young adults are never too young or insignificant to change the world.

Phyllis continues to hone skills which include: Research, Organization, Critiques, Developmental Editing, Writing Coach, MS Office, ProWritingAid, Scrivener, Marketing, Social Media, WordPress, and Public Speaking.
