Author Information

Phillip W. Price began his law enforcement career with the City of Canton, Georgia, Police Department in late 1974 (at the age of nineteen). On January 1, 1976, Price was hired as a radio operator for the Georgia State Patrol assigned to the Headquarters Communications Center. On January 8, 1978, Price transferred to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) as a special agent. Price retired as a Special Agent in Charge (SAC) in 2006. After a stint as a traveling consultant, conducting training on methamphetamine manufacture, Price was hired as the task force commander for the Cherokee Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad (CMANS) in May of 2010. Price retired on December 17, 2021. In 2021, Price completed his first novel, ""Mountain Justice."" The setting for the story is the North Georgia Mountains, and the story follows a young GBI agent, Daniel Byrd, who uncovers corruption and murder in the otherwise idyllic setting. Price followed the first novel with ""A Little Bit Kin,"" the tale of a methamphetamine cook who gets in over his head. The drug disruption scheme spirals out of control, and GBI Agent Byrd is left to pick up the pieces. Much of the novel revolves around the world of methamphetamine abuse and the lifestyle that goes with it. Price's third novel, ""Self Rescue,"" follows Byrd around Georgia as he pursues a CIA contract officer who dabbles in methamphetamine smuggling from the Mexican border to the Peach State. Soon, Byrd ends up on the Texas/Mexican border in a fight for his life. Price's fourth novel, ""Asphalt Blues,"" continues the investigation into the drug enterprise that the GBI and Texas authorities uncovered between El Paso and Atlanta. ""Asphalt Blues"" received the Literary Titan Gold Award in 2024.Drawing from real events and his own professional career in law enforcement, Price delivers authentic, lived-in portrayals of police work-capturing how officers think, speak, and operate with a level of accuracy rarely seen in the genre.Price has an Associate in Arts degree from Reinhardt University, a Bachelor of Science degree from North Georgia University, and a Master's degree in public administration from Columbus State University. Price has appeared on One America News Network and Salem Cable News Network.
