Larnette Phillips

Larnette began a full-time career as an author and writer in 1991 and began her career by selling her first short fiction to local NPR affiliates and writing nonfiction for magazines and newspapers. She has written and published several novels nationally in soft cover and audio.

In 2004, Larnette was seriously injured in an auto accident and six weeks later her home and most of her material possessions were completely destroyed by Hurricane Ivan. She returned home to her parents where her father, who had been a stroke victim since 1995, became terminally ill and she helped her mother take care of him for almost a year until he passed. Many blessings and miracles emerged from these life events and Larnette formed her own company. In 2007 she published the nonfiction women's book 'Women and Success' (a collection of women's true stories about overcoming adversity and hardship). She is the creator of the magazine 'Inspiration' and also works in entertainment and film. She is working on a book about the survivors of the Oklahoma City bombing and beginning work on a film about the homeless.
