Phillip L Wray is a board certified attorney who has practiced law in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex for over 30 years. He received his BA in French and political science from Baylor University and his law degree from the Baylor University School of Law. Phillip studied in France while attending Baylor and fell in love with the country, its history, and its literature, particularly the D'Artagnan Romances by Alexander Dumas. Writing this novel has given Phillip the opportunity to combine two of his loves: France and historical mysteries. He and his wife currently reside outside of Dallas.
