Writing is a way of life for me, a culture in which I've chosen to immerse myself, to spend my days. Almost a lifetime, and still I write.
There are projects in the works… always. I've recently teamed up with friend and nature photographer, Leslie Bamford, to create a book of haiku that traces my river journeys. Six months down the road we'll have a new book to share with you.
I've recently finished a short story collection. The book brings together short stories I have had published over the past thirty years. In celebration, I've made the book available as a free download for a limited time - a virtual book launch, so to speak. Use the coupon code CK98H at the checkout at smashwords.com to receive a free download of Becoming Animal. You can also purchase the book through other platforms such as iBooks.
For electronic copies of my novels and poetry, visit Kobo. For those who prefer print books, contact BookLand Press or ask for your local bookstore to order copies through the Literary Press Group.
What else am I writing now? I have a few projects in mind - haven't committed full-time to any of them yet… but when I do, I'll let you know.

“Tending Memory is absolutely exquisite in its lyricism and story, and truly one of the best novels that I have read in years. An extraordinary accomplishment." ~ Mickey Turnbull-Coughlin
"The writing is stunning. Tending Memory is definitely a poet's novel. There are lines which leap out at me. This will be a book I return to and there have not been many of those." ~ Nancy Morrey
"Tending Memory is a touching and insightful book about love, loss, and life's journey. Ms Paul has crafted a mysterious story of relationships, memories and how history defines our identity. Her writing style flows like water pulling the reader downstream to the final conclusion." ~ Anne Ramsay
