SIDELIGHTS: Philip H. Young told CA: "From childhood, I have been interested in studying and writing about the past, a love taught by my parents. My college years resulted in a bachelor's degree in history and a doctorate in classical archaeology, interests I have been able to continue alongside my work as an academic librarian. I love the written word and the pursuit of knowledge, and I am happy that I have been able to dabble in both, writing academic works and also fiction."
