Paul R. Kirk, MA, CRC, CCM, LPC, CEAS, makes his living as an occupational and rehabilitation expert consultant who assists seriously ill or injured professionals in their efforts to return to a productive and fulfilling lifestyle. Master's trained in existential phenomenological psychology and licensed as a professional counselor, Paul Kirk has spent over 28 years assessing the residual life potentials of individuals after a personal devastation, whether mental or physical. In-depth vocational research and isolating residual transferable skills for use in future life activity comes natural and is easily extrapolated into assessing a post apocalyptic world such as in DEVASTATION POINT. Certified as competent in administering intelligence tests and adept at in-depth psychological counseling, he also provides young adults with vocational career assessment services as reflected in his newest fiction novel: PIZZA BONES-The Emergence Of A Killer. This is his second novel and within a completely different genre from his published work in the DEVASTATION POINT post-apocalyptic series. He lives with his lovely wife and three wonderful children in Fort Wayne, Indiana. They have a cat, Dexter, who loves everyone in the family but him.
