Philmore ButtsPhilmore Butts is an American author from the Southern region of the U.S.. While being raised in the north, he had plans of becoming a successful artist. Philmore attended public schools in Michigan, where he graduated and went on to attend a privateCatholic university. Unsure about what career path he wanted to follow, Phil left school and found himself working several odd jobs. After years of beating the pavement, he enrolled in a creative writing course. Although encouraged to pursue a life as a writer, he returned to the Catholic university where he went on to study Psychology/Sociology. During his tenure, the late Sis. Rachel encouraged Philmore to seek a career as a writer or poet. Phil then began to once again nourish the idea. Having allowed several production companies to look over his work, to no avail, he went on to receive degrees in both majors. While working as social worker, teacher, and supervisor for an all-girls detention, the writing bug began to bite again. Phil then began to pursue his dream of becoming an artist. So, having put down his paint brushes, Philmore picked up his pen to become a literary artist. Having penned his first novel, "The Student," he now anticipates creating other works for readers to enjoy. Using his only child as inspiration, Philmore looks forward to accomplishing other literary and artistic goals. Read More Read Less
