Unable to control my wild imagination, I have tried to channel my creative energy into art and writing in order to use my power for good and not evil. I was originally interested in doing movie special effects, and I have taken a convoluted career path since, mostly at advertising agencies. I am a California native and enjoy walking, mountain biking, and hiking. I have practiced Brazilian jiu-jitsu for over 11 years. I spend a lot of time on the computer (I love Apple products). I spend some of it productively writing or using Photoshop, but I admit I do a lot of "jacking around" on Facebook, Youtube, and iTunes. My novel "The Paradise Lie" for sale on Amazon.com. Entering the keywords "Paul Emil Paradise" in the search window there will take you to my book. The ebook version is very affordable. Check it out!
