Philip wrote his first novel, Just East of Tomorrow, while serving in the U. S. Navy. While he decided not to publish this work, he announced during his first professional astrological lecture that he intended to write a book. As the words came out, he recalled thinking, "Uh-oh. I think I just said something about writing a book." After the lecture various questions about his book confirmed his suspicion. His first book, The Astrology of Transcendence, originated in that lecture. He also wrote two other astrology books that became ink on pages, The Astrology of Deep Space, and The Sun at the Center - A Primer of Heliocentric Astrology. Chapters he wrote appeared in April 4, 1981, and Spiritual, Metaphysical and New Trends in Modern Astrology. His latest astrological writings are on a CD, The Galactic Trilogy. This comprehensive CD contains the treatises, Astronomy for Astrologers and The Soul of the Sky, an innovative interpretive deep space primer and extensive data compilations of solar system and galactic phenomena.

Most recently, Philip is writing a mainstream interest book on the recent "reorganization" of the solar system including the dwarfing of Pluto, discovery of Eris and the latest astronomical discoveries regarding what revolves about our Sun. This work details the history of astronomical planetary discoveries, mythology and the social and cultural influences on events and consciousness.

Realizing the importance of making astrology accessible to the masses, he has written horoscope columns for the Science Fiction Channel's website and the America West Airlines Magazine. Philip has also written for mediavillage.com, a television entertainment website based in New York and contributed horoscope content (r-rated) to Constellation Magazine, also in New York, and for MommyTalk.com. During the 2008 election run-up, Philip blogged for the Huffington Post mixing polling, astrology and politics into a phenomally accurate and insightful assessment. As well, he wrote compelling astro-political horoscopes for Tarot.com for the election cycle.

One of his favorite pieces of writing was a column for the Science Fiction Channel's website that preceded the not so life-threatening Y2K. His weekly column, YNot2K, blasted the hysteria and fear-mongering surrounding the millennium transition and provided a humorous antidote to a frantic society.

Also wearing the hat of Screenwriter, Philip penned over twenty screenplays and is working to establish production for these films. The most metaphysical of these scripts, Neon Cactus, was a quarter-finalist in the Motion Picture Academy's Nicholl Fellowship.

Philip just completed a rewrite of Thorns From A Rose for 22Seventeen Productions (production slated to commence autumn 07). As well, conversations are in progress regarding an upcoming additional rewrite for 22Seventeen.

He has written for the reality entrepreneurial TV show, Everything Entrepreneur, and is shopping several of his scripts and show concepts. Currently he is developing a documentary about baseball, politics and pollution in his home town.

In late 2005, he released his first collection of short stories, Glimpses - Stories From Around the Bend. These stories relate tales that could be true even though many reside in what would be termed non-ordinary reality. Compelling and insightful, the first collection will soon be well on its way to making a strong mark in literary history. His second collection of short stories, Greylock, is in progress.

Philip has performed stand-up comedy as a side interest since 1989. He quips that he, "just wasn't getting enough rejection in life and wanted a more stable career." He appeared on NBC and Fox Networks doing comedy routines with weathermen. In his work as astrologer, his comedy tirades kept his peers laughing for weeks.

He teaches creative writing classes, largely in the field of astrology.

He is a member of the National Writers Union.
