Billy Phillips is multi-award-winning bestselling author, creative producer and part time lecturer. He has ghost-written thirteen best selling non-fiction books, some of which surpassed a million copies
sold.

The award-winning middle-grade/YA novel Once Upon a Zombie is his fiction debut under his own name.

When one of his children suggested he write a zombie book under his own name, Billy conceived the idea of merging the iconic fairy tale
characters with the zombie phenomena.

Zombie Cinderella and friends were born!

The book has won the Best Pre Teen Book by the National Indie Excellence Awards,
the Purple DragonFly Award for Best Young Adult (YA) fiction, and it was a double winner at the Beverly Hills International Book Awards for Best
Juvenile Fiction and Best Cover Fiction.

Once Upon a Zombie was just nominated and named a double Finalist and a double Medal Winner at the upcoming FAPA President’s Awards Banquet being held at the Walt Disney Resort in Orlando in August 2016.

Billy had the privilege of lecturing at NASA, at the Kennedy Space Center, on the subject of science, physics and spirituality, sharing compelling ideas which he interweaves in his novels.

In his middle grade/YA fantasy novel Billy envisioned the zombies as a metaphor for all those relentless negative thoughts and paralyzing fears that try to swallow us whole.

The fairy tale characters are a metaphor for what middle graders and young adults aspire to be.

And though his breathless fantasy novel plays out
in an otherworldly universe, the underlying message is really about that unseen zombie inside all
of us!
