Paul’s Recent Updates

Oliver and His Alligator by Paul Schmid
"A nice little story about coping with anxiety, specifically of the going-to-school variety.

Schmidt conceives a smart, spot-on metaphor that resonates with little kids: Oliver’s pet alligator gobbles up any source of anxiety, from teachers, to classm" Read more of this review »
Oliver and His Alligator by Paul Schmid
"This book had me laughing out loud with the sudden turn of events. And the illustrations are adorable. It's a fun story to address a child's nervousness of attending school for the first time. I loved this. In fact, I may have loved it even more than" Read more of this review »

“With such disappointing lunkheads for parents, naturally Petunia must leave home.”
― Paul Schmid, A Pet for Petunia

“He said that I was a man. And like any man I deserved everything that was a man’s lot—joy, pain, sadness and struggle—and that the nature of one’s acts was unimportant as long as one acted as a warrior. Lowering his voice to almost a whisper, he said that if I really felt that my spirit was distorted I should simply fix it—purge it, make it perfect—because there was no other task in our entire lives which was more worthwhile. Not to fix the spirit was to seek death, and that was the same as to seek nothing, since death was going to overtake us regardless of anything. He paused for a long time and then he said with a tone of profound conviction, “To seek the perfection of the warrior’s spirit is the only task worthy of our manhood.”
― Carlos Castaneda, Journey To Ixtlan
