VJ Books Presents Author Gary Phillips!

Author Gary Phillips Gary Phillips (born 1955) was raised in South Central Los Angeles. He grew up reading comics, classic pulp and detective fiction, and the likes of Iceberg Slim and took inspiration from all this when he created his first series character, Ivan Monk, in the early 1990s.

Phillips introduced his second series character, Martha Chainey, in High Hand (2000), and followed that rollicking tale of a showgirl's mafia troubles with another book and short story. Besides writing several stand alones like The Jook and The Underbelly, and editing anthologies such as The Darker Mask and Orange County Noir, Phillips has found success in the field of graphic novels, penning illustrated stories such as The Rinse and High Rollers.

Phillips continues to live and work in Los Angeles.
