________________________________


I'm Paul. As of 15 February 2005 I became your Lit Gallery director, with particular responsibility for the prose galleries.

I resigned my post as Gallery Director (April 2006). I'm still going to be active in the lit community, so feel free to leave an introduction here if you want, especially if you are a prose writer. If you really want to get involved in the community, talk to ^adrift, your current prose gallery director.

Originally a Brit, I emigrated to Australia to marry an Aussie. Currently I'm living in China. My jobs have included technical drawing, caring for disabled adults, driving trucks and writing. I have a degree in English Language and Linguistics.

At present I proof-read English language papers for a Chinese geosciences journal, teach English, and I'm trying to complete a socio-linguistics doctorate. When I'm not working, studying or generally panicking about all that, I relax playing piano and saxophone, and I miss my home studio back in Australia.

I'm balding, even thinner than I used to be (it's the Chinese food) and old by dA standards. Which means I'm in my thirties. I don't think that's old.

Oh yeah. Whisky is my drink of choice, and I prefer the Scottish malts, preferably one of the islands, or a highland.

I haven't published any fiction yet, though I'm working on that. I have been published academically.
