ⓘ About Paul Finch
Paul Finch is a two-time British Fantasy Award Winner that has written and published roughly three hundred stories during his lifetime. Before he wrote novels, Paul Finch was first, a cop and then a journalist. He also spent a long time in the entertainment business producing Crime Dramas like ‘The Bill’ before finally finding his writing voice. +Biography Paul Finch was born in Wigan in the United Kingdom and, for the longest time, he stayed there. Paul never really had a focus when he was young. This is why he left home to get his history degree from Goldsmiths College (London University) and then returned north to become part of the Greater Manchester Police. One doesn’t become a police officer on a whim.
