Paul Wallis
Biography
Professional writer, author of at least 17 of my own books, and several for other people. Digital journalist, musician, graphic artist. I love to write, and if people get 1% of the fun out of reading my books as I do writing them, they're a good deal.
I loathe formula writing and I detest conformity. My books and I have a lot in common.
Somebody said- "Guys don't read!"
My answer- "Nor do cockroaches."
Interesting how philosophy bumps in to these ideas, isn't it?
Smashwords customers please note: The reason for my relatively high prices is that like most pro writers I'm very tired of getting paid peanuts for my hard work. A decade's work for very little has made me less than keen on birdseed prices.
The only other thing I can say in favor of my prices is that you definitely won't find anything like my books online, particularly in the sugary world of management science. I don't write for idiots.
Recent books
The Danforth Puppy is my first attempt to write a kids' book, and great fun, based on a real dog whose story nobody would believe.
You're Looking Sane Today 2 (What if you couldn't ingratiate yourself with vermin?) is a murderous attempt to hit a few targets in this ridiculous society. This is a preferred style, which I hope to use to enter the armaments industry.
Conversations for Tiny Minds is about the sheer futility of basic communications in a very information-hostile environment. It was originally written some years ago, and I needed to check if I still agreed with the original. Irritatingly, I still do.

"Sheridan Derwydd" means "Wild man Oak". Sheridan is a very intelligent guy, with a brilliant sister, an intoxicatingly beautiful and equally intelligent girlfriend, and a sort of psycho-hedonist.
Put it this way, this is a quote from the book:
“I’m a sociologist.”
“Oh, I am sorry. How awful. Does it hurt?”
Don't say you weren't warned.
