Bio: Paul had several academic works published, but never tried his hand at creative writing until he retired from full-time work and enrolled on a course at The Settlement. He caught the writing bug and, within three years, had his first book published. He has worked with two publishers and has had four books published so far, with two more to come later this year. The books have received over 5,000 ratings on Amazon. He runs local writers groups and has given several one-off presentations and lectures. He has run creative writing courses at The Settlement for writers aiming to get published and now runs a self-support writers group based here. Paul is a member of the Society of Authors and the Historical Writers Association.
