Welcome to this website. My novel, Stepping into the Sun, was published by Matador in August 2021, and is available from Amazon and other sources as a physical book and as an e-book. There is an email address to which comments, good, indifferent and outright bad, can be directed: enquiries@steppingsun.com
To the left, hiding behind the image of the cover, is a slider, ready to be clicked on in the bottom right-hand corner, containing a collection of quotes from the novel, and below is a slider of images tracing the journey the main character makes from a cloistered existence in a sedate city to a much harsher environment.
I hope readers will find the contents on the other pages as interesting as did one reviewer of the book: "You will find a treasure trove of information brilliantly laid out. This is one of the best websites I have ever looked at. Most important, it’s simple and very easy to navigate, and packed with information, giving you an excellent insight into the author and the development, history and story at the heart of his novel."

"A fantastic book, truly beautifully written, moving and unforgettable. I can't begin to identify a genre into which it fits with its innovative plot and complex character arcs but it is powerful and compelling from first word to last.
"Philip Hart's journey gave me surges of emotion... Heartbreak... Hope... Despair. And made me search my own soul. Reading this novel was an extraordinary experience. An outstanding debut."
Robin Price - Goodreads/NetGalley reviewer
