Philip Cory, after over thirty years of medical practice, research, invention, and business, has completed his first book, Titanea. And, he can say with certainty that fiction writing is much more fun than science writing (however, doing the science is pretty fun, too). Though having authored professional publications, his creative writing credentials are limited to winning a short story contest, while on faculty at Penn State University. That story dealt with a late night meeting in the operating room with a Blackfeet Indian man, and was published in Wild Onions in 1986. Work on Titanea began when he was employed by the Forest Service in 1969 and started on a journey investigating mysteries, myths, and legends of our collective past. Obviously, the idea took a long time to gel.
Philip lives with his wife Joan in Bozeman, Montana. Besides writing, he is a biomedical consultant and the President of Nervonix, Inc.
