Every Child Needs A Story

Welcome to my Website!

Writing was never my thing when I was younger. In fact written on the top of my college writing paper, in bold red I might add, was “F get a tutor”. So I went into science. I did enjoy writing creative stories though, and after having kids ideas for stories flooded my brain. I decided to try and publish one of those ideas. After many rejections, one little publisher liked my story and my writing career was born! So If you have a story rattling around inside your head, but you think you aren’t a writer because your spelling is atrocious and you have no idea where to put a comma, relax. Put pen to paper, open up that lap top or if you’re really cool put a new ribbon on that L.C. Smith and write your story. You never know where it will take you.

Reviews & Accolades


TREES MAKE PERFECT PETS - Sourcebook Kids

Takes tree-hugging-and standing up for yourself-to a new level.

THE BOOK TREE - Barefoot Books

This delicate and subversive little parable of a book, with its lyrical text and anarchic pictures, is just what we need in today’s world.

Why I write

I write books to make you laugh, root for the under dog, and care for the world around you. If I’ve hit on one of those things then I’ve done my job.

About Me

MY NAME IS Paul

I was a chemist for 21 years. I study Karate, Muay Thai, and Jujitsu. I’m married to the coolest wife and we have two awesome kids.

I also write picture books.

I love picture books. They are the perfect medium. In 500 words, possibly more and often a lot less, you get a full story that can make you laugh, make you cry, or make you get off the couch and change the world. Sometimes all of the above. My hope is that one of my books will produce at least one of those emotions in you.
