R. A. L. Phillips

R.A.L. Phillips is a California native with a political science degree from UCLA. She grew up on a steady diet of science fiction, historical romance novels, and a boisterous, politically bent family – all of which is reflected in her debut novel; Rise of the Alien Queen. She admits that portions of the book mirror her own life, but denies that she ever bludgeoned anyone to death.

​

She has been a volunteer for the Sexual Assault Response Program of Lynchburg, a Court Appointed Special Advocate for the children of Los Angeles, and a voracious supporter of Suicide Awareness Voices of Education and the Me Too Movement.

Like the singer, Kesha - R.A.L. Phillips is waiting for her starship to come back for her.

Transplanted to the Ozarks, she lives with her husband, a variety of children, and a menagerie of rescued pets. Her hobbies include pickleball, karaoke, red wine, and the trolling of the many misogynists, racists and bigots who are ever-present on the internet. She is passionate about racial equality, LGBTQ rights and the empowerment of women everywhere.
