about me

My goal is to get published and to improve my writing, and not in that order. I won't beg you for a backing, but they're always appreciated. Constructive comments are also appreciated. I won't play the bookshelf swapping game, but if you're interested, I'd love to swap reads. If I owe you a read and it's been a while, feel free to give me a nudge.

Agents and publishers interested in discussing my book can contact me at: phil_the_love@yahoo.com.

The cover for Deshay of the Woods was created by yours truly. If you're needing help creating a cover, there are several exceptional graphic designers on Authonomy. If you like my style, I'm happy to help if I can. I only ask that, if you use my design, you credit me somewhere either in the spot for your book pitch or in your profile. Check out the photobucket link under "my websites" for samples of covers I've created for myself and others.

Special thanks to Zoe Harrington and Paul J for their extra support for DotW on their profiles! Check out Zoe's blog: ( http://zoe-harrington.blogspot.com/

Also thanks to Dyane Forde for her above-and-beyond editing help.

Phil Partington

Between darkness and light, love comes in many shades, but when spectral powers intervene, the lines between true love and lust become blurred.


Something preys on the men of Lott's Vale, appearing as the woman each one finds most beautiful and using its carnal nature to seduce and ensnare them. Matthew struggles to distinguish the real from the illusion as he becomes its latest victim.

Alexandra returns to the town after eight years away in hopes of seeing Matthew, the boy she never stopped loving. She arrives during a time of celebration and festivities, but finds herself in a battle to save him from the Witch of the woods.

In a world where magic has been banished by the King, colossal monsters attack helpless towns and shape-shifting demons stalk the land, Deshay of the Woods is a gut-wrenching, action-packed tale to the end.

(Cover created by Phil Partington)

DotW is complete at 52,000 words. The first 13 chapters (and prologue) are posted.
