Paul is a native Scotsman now settled in Northern Ireland with his wife, one dog and one cranky cat.  

Paul has had a varied career: a twenty-two year stint in the British Army and culminated with eight years as a constable in the Police Service of Northern Ireland all of which has given Paul a unique life experience. He has combined this experience with his love of science fiction and he embarked on his new career as an Indie Sci-Fi Writer in 2014.

Paul says: "I was born in Johnstone, Renfrewshire, Scotland in 1967.  I joined the British Army in 1985 at the grand old age of seventeen and a half. After completing my initial training I joined the British Army's elite parachute force, 5 Airborne Brigade, spending four years there until moving on to various intelligence and signals units for the remainder of my twenty-two year's service. During my career I served in many areas of operations including: Africa, the Balkans, Central America, Northern Ireland, the Middle East and South East Asia.

I wrote my first story in 2013 and with the help of my wife, Sarah, I self-published DISCOVERY OF THE SAIPH in 2014. Unbelievably, after the release of SEARCH FOR THE SAIPH, the second installment of the series, and just one year later - Discovery of the Saiph and Search for the Saiph became number one Amazon Best Sellers! 

I've since gone on to publish my Saiph series as audiobooks through Tantor Media, and I'm very pleased to say that Tantor Media have optioned 'LEGACY OF THE SAIPH, book 4' of the Saiph series and the complete series of my new military SF series 'The K'Tai War'."
