Philip A. McClimon is an author who likes to write about the end of the world (post apocalyptic, zombie), mostly because he thinks the shopping would be awesome (No crowds, everything free). He likes heroes that are the strong, silent type and not necessarily male. By silent he means up until the time there is something snarky to say, usually before, during, and after doing something cool.
So, that's Phil. He's not strong, rarely silent, and isn't known for doing a lot of cool things.
But his characters are.
