Alan Kemister

Alan Kemister is the pen name of Phil Yeats, a chemist based in Halifax Nova Scotia, who began experimenting with creative writing in 2009. He has a keen interest in environmental science and dabbled in yachting and golf before turning to fiction after retirement. He's used the pen name Alan Kemister to maintain a degree of separation between papers written during his career as an oceanographic researcher and his more recent forays into fiction.

Alan has published many short stories; some of them in anthologies available on Amazon. His first novel, A Body in the Sacristy, a traditional whodunit mystery, was published in April 2018. A second, Tilting at Windmills, appeared in December of that year. After a three-year hiatus, he published (September, 2021) The Souring Seas, the first volume in a trilogy about the hazards of ignoring climate change. He has now added The Body on Karli's Beach to his Barrettsport Mysteries, and Building Houses of Cards and They All Come Tumbling Down, the second and third volumes in his climate change trilogy. His most recent book is The Road to Environmental Armageddon, and omnibus edition of his climate change saga.
