Author headshot, Paul L. Arvidson

Paul L. Arvidson writes both science fiction and thrillers.

He’s been compelled by evil elves to write a third person biog. He used to be a lighting designer for theatres and was quite good at it. When he had to retire he set his entire SFF series in a lightless world in a huff. It turned out it worked quite well. The Dark Series is the result. He lives in beautiful countryside with his wife and two kids, which is quite a shock for a townie.

He alternately writes thrillers for people who hate space and because he really wants to be the late great Iain M Banks. The thrillers star Cady Grey, a teenaged detective with a wheelchair, who may or may not be based loosely on his youngest daughter.
