Paul William Beet was born in Yorkshire, England in 1948. He is married with two children and two grand children. After a spell of working in South Africa and Zimbabwe he now lives in the Midlands and has a house in Spain. His hobbies include travel, golf and writing.

Paul is an avid reader with a wide literary taste who for many years harboured a desire to ‘one day’ become a writer himself. A busy and successful career as a construction professional, however, meant that he was unable to seriously pursue his writing interest until 2009 when he decided to take early retirement and concentrate wholeheartedly on his writing.

Now on his third book, with another looming in the wings, he is firmly in writing mode and hopes to establish a second career as a writer.
