Philip Duncan is an award-winning and best-selling self-published author.

His debut novel, Blood Ties, won the gold medal for military thrillers at the 2022 Global Book Awards for Self-Publishing.

He was born and raised in East Tennessee, where he still lives. He played many sports growing up, eventually switching his full attention to baseball, where he played four years in high school and four more years in college. He has a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science.

Since the age of sixteen, he has had many jobs including landscaping, farmhand, deli clerk, and personal trainer, but writing has always been his genuine passion.

He currently writes fast-paced thrillers where he aims to keep his readers on the edge of their seats, not knowing what’s coming next.

He is very much a pantser with his books, and he enjoys letting the characters he creates dictate where the story goes.

When he’s not writing his next book, you can find him coaching other authors, providing writing and authoring services, working out, and spending time with his beautiful wife and two kids.
