(1915).  But with the outbreak of World War I, William enlisted in the British Army along with his cousin, Baxter.  He was discharged from the war after he developed cholera.  William retired to his home in Wales, and after he recovered he moved to the United States.  Here, he set up residence in New York, continuing his love affair with the weird, but focusing now on American instances.  Here, he developed extensive contacts, including the eccentric psychic Miriam C. LeGou and the historian Charles Whitford.  He also made the acquaintance of another "morbid" author, Jackson Elias.  Elias’, LeGou’s, and Whitford’s input helped him with his third book, In the Mind’s Eye (1923).  He is currently researching a fourth.  Llewellyn-Phelps is a massive brute of a man; but though he cuts an imposing figure, he is a harmless sort.  In conversation, he often tends to be intellectual and sometimes reverts to the language of his forebears.  His attitude is markedly scarred by his time at war, and this is most noticable when he's drinking.  At these times, Llewellyn-Phelps is prone to fits of depression.  He leads a somewhat Spartan lifestyle, especially as his immediate family is rather poor.  Llewellyn-Phelps has a wife, Madelyn, and a four-year old daughter, Dorothy.</blockquote>
