Phil Yeats

Phil Yeats is a retired chemist based in Halifax Nova Scotia who began experimenting with creative writing in 2009. He has a keen interest in environmental science and dabbled in yachting and golf before turning to fiction after retirement.

He’s written a baker’s dozen of published short stories and one poem, many of them in anthologies available on Amazon. His first novel, A Body in the Sacristy, a classical whodunit mystery, was published in the spring of 2018. Tilting at Windmills, another mystery, and The Souring Seas, a climate change novel, followed.

He’s interested in writing mysteries and Earth based dystopias. Some of his stories have been published using the pen name Alan Kemister to maintain a small degree of separation between papers written during his career as an oceanographic researcher and his more recent forays into fiction.
