edit data

Paul Cunningham is a rock guitarist. He lives in South Korea with his wife and teaches as much as he can at a university.

Paul's next book will be about an 18th century hanging judge who is blessed in parts and mettle, and yet remains an irredeemably rotten dastard. But don't hold your breath.
