Paul McDonald

I retired from the workforce in 2019.

My wife and I bought a bushland property on the Burnett River near Bundaberg a vibrant town of 100,000 people in regional Queensland, Australia.

I had write a book on my bucket list and after 2 years of retirement, I decided if I was ever going to write a book I better start.

It was one of the most challenging activities I have ever undertaken, it is fair to say, writing did not come naturally to me.

Eventually I finished my first book “Innocent Assassin”.

I have enjoyed the creative process of writing as well as the personal growth from forcing myself out of my comfort zone.

I have since finished the Sakura Bianchi trilogy and commenced writing a horror trope.

I hope you enjoy my stories.
