PAF started writing stories at the tender age of eighteen. Maximum Discretion was his first novel. "I'm a big fan of spy stories. I wanted to write about what I love." He then went on to write and direct documentaries and feature films. However, there was a novel that had been patiently waiting in the wings. Finally, The Rattler was born. The Rattler Series is the result of his fascination with the paranormal. He saw his first ghost in a castle in Ireland when he was thirteen. "The Rattler Series had been on my, 'to do list', for a few years. I'm so happy I've finally released the Old Hag!"
