In the course of trying to have my manuscript Sun Rays at Midnight published, I discovered that there were thousands of other manuscripts by survivors submitted to the Project of Holocaust Survivors Memoirs and other publishing institutions, manuscripts that for various reasons will never see the light of day. Publishers claim, that because of the flood of the survivors memoirs, the poor literary quality of most and the similarity of the narrative, there is no market for the memoirs, that despite, that the 2002 Nobel Prize for literature was granted to a Hungarian Holocaust survivor, Imre Kertesz for his memoir Fateless.

The House of Abraham Phillips is a fictitious interpretation of the 1875 Lan Mine disaster in Gwaelod y Garth, South Wales. It is told through the mouth of Phillip Phillips, Abraham's second son. Haunted by his father's action, steeped in memories and the words of the Old Testament, Phillip Phillips, seeks resolution to his anguish. All of the characters in this story lived. The main incidents are part of recorded history. It is a story of stoical people, facing hard work and poverty.

This story is a memorial to those who lost their lives in the winning of coal.
