I've never had trouble talking about myself, but this whole publishing process has worn me out! Between blogging, Facebooking, Tweeting and everything on Amazon I'm pretty much annoying myself right now! Sudden Onset Evolution is my first published work, but I've been writing for my own enjoyment for most of my life. I've written short stories, poems, songs and more Top 10 Lists than I care to think about. I'm a former stand up comic who had a good run for a couple months until I got booed off stage and that ended that. Getting a book out there is another thing I can cross off my bucket list, so now I just have to write a sequel or two, get a sketch on SNL and form a Styx tribute band and I'll have finished my list.

Getting a book out there is another thing I can cross off my bucket list, so now I just have to write a sequel or two, get a sketch on SNL and form a Styx tribute band and I'll have finished my list. Thinking about it, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. I go by the nickname Pauldo and think of Pauldo as a whole other person. A much better and funnier person. I got the name because I was the first of my friends to have a cell phone as his home phone so whenever people would call me they would ask where I was because they knew I could be anywhere. It was all new to them back in 1998. I started answering the phone with "Where's Pauldo?" and the name stuck. In other Pauldo news, I'm a karaokee superstar and have sung Careless Whisper over 100 times in 9 different states. Look for Pauldo on YouTube and you'll see all sorts of clips. I also collect/horde tee shirts and get daily emails from about a dozen sites and very often end up buying a tee shirt before I have even actually woken up. I hope you enjoy my book(s) and please start a discussion. I'm almost always near a computer and I'll be happy to reply. I swear, I'm not as lame as this bio makes me seem!...more

Many times I will take a personal conflict or situation and work it out through my characters. This has a cathartic aspect, but also helps me write what I know so I can put additional realism into the writing.(less)

The ending of the book changed as I was writing it and lead me to an idea for a sequel I didn't have before. I'm also a fan of doing barroom karaoke, so I have been toying around with a comedy about some of funny things I have seen happen. I have an interesting idea for a format of doing it, but no actual story idea as of yet.(less)
Sorry, it's been a while since I've blogged, but this time I've actually been writing. Book 2 should be out in about a month! I'm not quite finished yet, but I'm 'next couple of days' close. Then there is the grammar and spelling proofing and the actual story editing to go through, but I think my editors will get that done pretty quickly. I commissioned the cover art to be created through fiverr.c
