It was while working as a script writer that in 2014 he published his first novel which he wrote for his three sons. Strange Metamorphosis won the Literary Classics Eloquent Quill award. He has since staged a couple of plays, and has been busy completing his historical fiction serial set in the 17th century. The Huguenot Chronicles, which includes, Merchants of Virtue, Voyage of Malice and Land of Hope, has involved many years of research, which, says Paul, in turn has meant having a great excuse to holiday in some amazing places! The trilogy takes you from King Louis's France to the Caribbean, and from London to colonial New York, not to mention all the places in between.
