A visual storyteller across film, comics, and television, crafting Gothic Americana through emotionally charged fantasy
and horror.

Paul lives in New Orleans with his family and a very patient dog named Caspa. His creative work began in illustration, graphic novels, and film before expanding into prose fiction that embraces theatrical visuals and emotional depth. He believes stories are not escapes from reality, but pathways into deeper truth.

His works include the Gothic horror western The God in the Dirt, the cozy holiday fantasy novella Fantastical Nature, and the surreal literary novel Echo. Together, these stories form a body of Gothic Americana that ranges from frontier darkness to quiet wonder—all connected by their exploration of resilience, belief, and the performance of identity.

When he isn’t writing or illustrating, Paul can be found wandering New Orleans neighborhoods collecting fragments of music, architecture, and memory for future stories—always searching for the place where myth still breathes behind ordinary doors.
