message 651: by Paul (new)

Paul Lawrence (paullawrencebooks) | 3 comments My name is Paul Schmehl. I write under the pen name Paul Lawrence. (Lawrence is my middle name.)
I write Christian fiction, which has apparently doomed me to a life of poverty. Fortunately, I'm retired, so it doesn't matter.
So far I have published one book, a novella titled Prayers Were No Help
I'm learning the business, so I'm certain there will be plenty of mistakes.
