Author_Bio: What do readers really want to know about a writer? Where he was born? Where he went to school? Is he married? What his political affiliation is? Is it important to know that Paul Victor taught high school English and Social Studies for over 30 years? That he lives in Florida? That he likes to read, to travel, to watch sports? Actually, all of these are insignificant trivia. What readers really want to know is a writer's take on life – his philosophy and attitudes. Here is Paul Victor's:

• Life ends in tragedy but it can be enjoyed before that.

• Most of the people telling others how to act, think, and feel are faking their expertise. 

• Being genuine upsets and angers at times, but more often it gets peoples' respect and affection.


That's what a reader gets when he reads a Paul Victor novel.
