Meet Author Paul Smith
My Story
Hello, I'm Paul Smith. For many years, my life was dedicated to caring for others as an ICU registered nurse. It was a career that I loved, but it also left its mark. I had to retire early after developing PTSD, a condition that has been a significant challenge in my life. In the search for healing, I found an unexpected lifeline: writing.
Putting words on a page each day isn't just a job for me; it's a form of therapy. It’s how I navigate the world and process my experiences. I feel incredibly blessed to work with publishers who understand and support my journey, and I'm passionate about creating stories that resonate with readers across the age spectrum. When I'm not writing, you can usually find me with my wonderful Yorkshire Terrier, Lily. And yes, all my books are written by hand—my left hand, to be exact.
